Preach


A Note to My Students

Stop me if I start to preach.
That’s not my job;
I’m here to teach.

And if I talk and talk and talk,
remind me — gently –
I should stop

and listen more
and let you speak,
discover, wonder,

think,
think,
think.

    I did a presentation last night at a children's literature class at CU Denver. I opened with your poem. They loved it. I will send it out to my teachers today!
