That Inconvenience
Roses
bloomed
in my stomach;
thorns
pierced
my uterus.
The red carpet
rolled out
for the stars
of my
agony. Two
children:
our oak tree, Nathan,
and his sister,
Erin, our Tuts,
I smiled
as I reached
into the tampon box.

Hi Linda, I read this poem several days ago and thought, how clever!
Did you get your students outside with cameras yet? You mentioned a 'thankfulness' project...
