MAGPIE...Prompt #165

 
                         MONHEGAN'S SCHOOLTEACHER/ 2004/ Jamie Wyeth


THANK YOU, Tess, at Magpie Tales...


LESSONS

I held close a towel,
tousled my hair,
let traces of love
drift like sap
down the drain.

You whispered
a bit of a Sonnet
that came to mind,
"Thou art now
the world's fresh ornament"...

Your fingers strummed my spine,
setting a place on my back.

I'll just pretend
I slept the night through,
not let a trickle of sweat
shine my brow,
as I teach the morning's lesson.

    None of my teachers could have written this, back in the days when I was a schoolgirl- they were all as old as Methuselah! LOL

    Ah, right off we can slip within her being. Quite refreshing and romantic, yet clearly her classmates were far from her thoughts this day.
