Sandy, your poem says so much in just a few words. I agree with Judy that the addition of the word "exhausting" is refreshing and it keeps it very real. Our students are amazing and all that you describe, but we do give them a great deal of time and energy. Your poem reminds us that it's a small price to pay.
:) We just finished teaching our students to write Cinquains. Your poem reminds me a lot of my students (especially your choice of the word "exhausting").
This cinquain shows how much you value each student's uniqueness. I like the "exhausting" part! Great poem.
