I'm back in the classroom again, have written a number of times about it, the pleasure of being with students all day, and the challenges of moving into the rhythm of teaching full time again. Today, I'd like to share my writing with students about a perfect morning.

Glad To Be Back
Mozart helps us
nestle--
contented students.
Gray clouds hover outside,
sleet spits at the windows;
small murmurings and
brain clouds float inside.
A chair scrapes. Someone coughs.
A student sighs; I wonder
why.
They sit at computers,
fingers tapping.
Others journal,
pencils scratching.
Quiet voices wing in from the
hall:
“Hey, great to see you, how
are you all?”
Time to move, and re-sharpen
pencils
for workshop gathering at the
carpet.
Sharing words, sharing
dreams.
Everyone's still thinking hard,
even before lunch.
