So much depends
upon
eager students
reading
and asking
questions
with such
energy
and enthusiasm
and good cheer . . .
Thank you,
Camden schools
for the
warm
welcome.

Life and writing, serious and humorous, old and young, past and present: it's all part of the fabric.
“Maybe we’re here only to say: house, bridge, well, gate, jug, olive-tree, window--at most, pillar, tower--but to say them, remember, oh! to say them in a way that the things themselves never dreamed of so intensely.” --Rilke
Lucky students.
ReplyDeleteI like that tall student up there on the left!
Love the combination of you and those students! Miss Rumphius, in Maine author Barbara Cooney's book planted lupines "to make the world a more beautiful place." And you plant seeds of learning, creativity, imagination, language, & friendship. Some of those Camden students must have been mighty proud!
ReplyDeleteSchools are exciting buildings and faces like this just suck you in.
ReplyDeleteso much depends... on a fine mentor, giving time.
Nice.
This poem is perfect for imitation, isn't it? The schools are so fortunate to have you nearby and willing to spend time there.
ReplyDeleteLook at those faces. There are many hams in the front row of photo #1, energy coming to the surface.
ReplyDeleteInteresting patterns noted in the photos (imagination gone awry). A butterfly has spread its wings in the first photo and it looks like Ms. Creech. Waves of children and an author fill the frame of the second photo.
