Games

Knight to A 5
Rook Counters
The games we play do nothing but
Hurt
I play with the hand I have been dealt
Wanting a full house
With love and kids
Bets are placed
And Raised
Higher and Higher
I start to wonder 
Is this too rich for my blood?
Are you bluffing?
Can I ever win?
Queen moves to protect
CHECK....
but is it finally
CHECK MATE

I AM BACK!!!!

So I have not been blogging a lot recently. I have just let life steer me and I have decided to take back control. What I have loved about my blog is that I publish the poetry I write on my blog, Good and Bad but all mine. And I also tell little stories about my students. In fact sharing this small things have been something that has helped me find the good things in small ways that are important to me and fulfilling and I have found that I need that release. I need to continue to make time for the small things because it helps me know what I am thinking and it helps be with the big things. So many teachers have said it, and I am yet another witness testifying it is true, if you let it teaching will take up your whole life and suck you dry. Well this past year and half I have let it and I am not going to anymore. I am exhausted and I am discouraged but already today after writing four new poems and redecorating my blog, I have found the Easter message of renewed life true and I am feeling better about life. So maybe no one reads my blog, I write it and that is the whole purpose!!
