Jan Allison Poet Tetractys

Notes About The Poem

Birthday Surprise

Miss
Arrives
To find that
Her wooden desk
Is covered with apples, flowers and gifts
Birthday greetings were chalked on the blackboard
Miss Jones' students
Adore her
And she
them

Jennifer Proxenos February 12, 2021 at 8:02 AM Hi Jan, this is a treat to read, it isn't often that teachers and pupils click, but junior school students are still at the age that they are very demonstrative and giving. I'm glad they all love each other. Touching poem Jan. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
