(Poem From Charlotte's Perspective)

DEDICATED TO THE BEST TEACHER
("The Metaphor" by Budge Wilson)

One day you appeared in my life as a teacher,
And, you taught me about the metaphor.
I did not know I could write like that before,
But you told me I could.
I believed. And I wrote...
Another day I realized I'm in high school already.
And you appeared again in my class.
This time you could not teach us anything,
This class was not like before,
But I did not support you.
Then you died.
And I deny, that in my life
I'll meet another teacher,
Another person,
Another birthday cake like you.
