Staring at blank faces,
students whispering,
bored and uninterested
as we start a new project.
Trying to spark a fire
that energizes and makes believers,
hoping Love That Dog
will bring out a Jack.
The unbelieving boy, Jack
who couldn't write
and didn't believe
he had a message inside.
With several Jacks
looking so miserable
as thoughts swirl around
filled with dread.
But there's a writer inside
waiting to overcome
a mind screaming
I ain't no poet.
