Another Day At Bmcc

Students walking around chatting, laughing I just gave a group a test The weather is cold out - at least it is warm in here it is warm in here I believe I will keep this job a while more The time has come for me to show a poem to some students and facult y at this institution Hope they like it! No money in poetry But it is a damn good way to socialize Let the dark winds blow where they will BMCC is still here Instructing thousands of people from many different lands

yes the richness that is poetry is something more than that which can be judged against monatary value, and this (very richness) seems to be the reason that others of non poetry persuasion value it less, well put Matthew.

what does BMCC stand for? I really enjoyed reading this one. And yes, Lincoln was NOT popular with the south. He was like an Obama for them. hahaha. I heard that he won by the electoral college and not the popular vote, so as much as I hate the electoral college, I guess in that case,I was all right with it!!

Hi Matt, Thanks for the comments on my poem. Reading this poem makes me smile because I feel your gratitude and recall those winters in NY... very cold BMCC on Chambers St. is still thriving! Yes, that's one of the reasons I love NYC..diversity..the many cultures. Take care. Always, Annalise

Sharing poetry with students and coworkers is a lot of fun, Matthew. It leads to conversation and meaningful interaction. Which college is BMCC? Must be nice having people "from many different lands" there. So many of our Soup poets are from India; they're so nice and I wish I could meet them. Enjoyed your poem, my friend. Let me know how you like the book. Love, Carolyn
