a teacher gives me lovely feedback

We are now into my busiest week of the year - the week in which World Book Day occurs. As I have been doing for over a decade now, I continue to visit schools to do poetry workshops and performances, and over the last few years I have had the please to do many online sessions too. Today was just such a day; I have just completed a workshop with the wonderful writers at Wembdon School. The teacher has just sent me some lovely feedback via email, and the great thing about it is that she wrote it in the form of a poem. Even better: she clearly followed the instructions I was giving to students in their workshop, which was to write a poem about an emotion, using metaphors, repetition and alliteration. Here, then, is the delightful poem sent to me by Mrs. Garcia. Thank you so much for this, it really means the world! (PS the reference to the 'pet' is to my cat Bluebell, who always participates in my virtual sessions...)
