NaPoWriMo: ReadWritePoem Prompt #19

late hours correcting the papers
weekly lesson planning
entering grades
middle school mood swings
parent-teacher meetings
insomnia on sunday nights
little or no appreciation
the "why do we have to"
and the "i don't know how"

it's all so i can afford to be
a poet

I like this Evelyn. You said a lot in plain language, and I think the simplicity of the language adds to its punch.

Good poem.Been down that road...try to make it shorter rather than longer Evelyn.

Your words ring so true. Nicely put.
