MOST Creative Writing Class

Thanks to all my creative writing students this semester:) I will SO miss first hour with you all, and you surely did yourselves proud on your final projects---the movie, the readings at the coffee shop with bongos and everything! Wow. It only occurred to me after I got home why you were all laughing when I was going to read a poem about my dogs. How could I forget about the standing joke about me throwing the puppy out the upstairs window when I was two?

In honor of you all, here is the song I wrote for you that is to be sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland."

Tiffany sings, oh so loudly
While Grant drones, monotonely
Megan G. says, "That's enough,"
And Paige says, "Hey, shut up,"
In my MOST creative writing class.

Amanda draws, 'cause writing's a bother
And Daniel writes about his mother
Taylor puts her work off
While Emily doth scoff
In my MOST creative writing class

In the back, Samantha is texting
to Meg P. who's visiting Hollywood
If you look close, Caleb is dozing
And Anthony is late and in "a mood."
Erin says, "I saw a movie,"
And Sophia says, "I'm from Germany"
And Nick takes it all in
And sits there with a grin
In my MOST creative writing class!

Thank you for the great semester!

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie

Finals week is next week, and this semester of Creative Writing will soon be a memory. A good one, at that. This year I've had an interesting mix of students, all of whom can write, despite what they say about themselves.
