Prose

I was very upset when I came back to school.  I heard from others that my students
were not well behaved.  I know that means only some were not well behaved
and that others probably were well behaved.  I would have preferred to be
in class with my students instead of planning a burial arrangements.

Microwave Poetry

very upset

Like a cat

back to school

Pricked my ears

I heard

my students not  behaved

some were not well behaved

others  well behaved

I  preferred

Like batting claws at a ball

be in class with my students

instead burial arrangements

No dogs

Another Example for HW

Grief

The grief you keep at bay

Like running away from a wolf

Don’t let it catch me

Don’t let it

Get it’s teeth

Into my neck

Then I’ll have to feel it

The pain

The grief
