Hi Max, You don't need the lines that start 'Life has come'....->.....thru 'when I get outside'. I'd go right into the last two lines about Alexander...and delet that part about sky, it seems too prosey and cliche. Otherwise, wonderful read. I'm sure you're a wonderful teacher.

Excellent Max, you had to compete with reinforced avoidance, but an excellent teacher will always find a way to make them want to stay! Good poem. Angie
