yes, ma'am, I did ( I was taught to say this to my teachers :))
I was singularly inspired this morning by your post - so please take the credit due - I left a few other ones a few other places - did you see my blog?

That was wonderful, and the dialog it generated was just as good. You can probably guess which was my favorite ... poetically speaking, of course.
Did you know that I also do some teaching of "eager adult learners"? I have an undergraduate degree in secondary education, and I fought that fight for a few years before giving in to the urge to have structure and certainty in my days ... so I took up law. LOLOLOLOLOLOL Nice to meet another teacher. Once it's in your blood, it always is. ~ moon

I don't think I knew you were a teacher - so nice to meet you
I have been a teacher all of my life - but just paid to do so recently - I have a possibity brewing that may be the ultimate dream opportunity - I will let the world know what it is when it officially happens...
How intriguing thy fragrance
What senses are stimulated
By thy grace
Fulfilled I rest at thy feet
