Ode to a Poetry Teacher
Abstract and Abrasive
 seeing and saying things the way they are,
 getting on so many peoples' nerves
 but always pulling the next thought from thin air.
 Beautiful and Bubbly
 supplying conversation and light
 to even the most silently gloomy depths of our minds.
 Dot dot dot, this poem could go on forever
 two words for each letter.
 Poised and Pretentious
 whoops! wrong word, 
 she's one of the few real people in the world,
 trailing grace behind her in
 a 50 meter wake.
 Wonderful Writer
 meaning every one of its many facets
 She will listen to you and respond
 without the silly bias of teachers.
 Putting you first
 and everything else about her second.
 She is magnificent and hilarious,
 lovely and terrifying.
 "She's a little odd,"
 Says the man shrouded in shadow.
 I do not care, I never will.
 Learning from her is getting the most
 magnanimous thrill.
