Spring Fever...

...and it isn't even spring yet!

The first day of the second semester usually feels draining but my students always find a way to make me laugh out loud and remind me of why I do what I do..

Other great responses to today's exit slip of "Poetry Is..":

-"Like the feeling you get when you fall in love"
-"A whole bunch of crap put together which rhymes."
-"The lively chirp of a nightingale in the morning"
-"..supposed to mean one thing but means everything"
-"The lottery of feelings - everybody has a different ticket"
-"A dead man's complaint to the passing years"
-"Sunshine in the night"

Thank you for the inspiration, Lawrence Ferlinghetti!
