Back Here

Today I decided to write couplets about being back at school in person with the students.

We’re back here again, making it seem as real as possible

When the old ways are invisible.

Standing on the stage

They open a page.

Weary of the time

They all decide to mime.

Today is the day we start

Until the time we part.

About Me

I am an Elementary school teacher , I taught at an International IB School in Accra, Ghana. I am now teaching in Hanoi. Writing is my passion and I try to write daily, at least in my sentence a day journal, to capture all the blessings around me. I write with groups of writers, such as Teach Write and sometimes Ethical ELA. I also encourage my friends to write , so I created a platform to make that possible -Writing Run.
