After surviving thriving through 31 straight days documenting Slices of Life, I decided to embark on the #verselove challenge for April, National Poetry Month. I find writing poetry daunting and intimidating, so expect this to be a growth experience!
Today, we’ve been prompted (but definitely not “required”) to write an #acrostic poem. Here goes.
For my unforgettable Meliora students:
Many are the smiles you’ve brought me
Even though our days have not been perfect.
Loud peals of laughter
Interspersed with sighs of frustration,
Outlining magnificent theses,
Reading *ridiculous* books,
Always, always digging deeper.
Steadfastly building new skills,
Theatrically defending points of view,
Understanding why others disagree.
Daring to plunge in, wrestle with
Elaborate new ideas and tools.
Never giving up, instead
Tenaciously trekking through
Showing up for me, for you, for us.
