loved teacher passes
knowledge interred in the bones
of those taught that live
.trying to write as they wrote, those writers with their little gems, all of those rules, terms, and nuances that escape me, I sought the great teacher, but the great teacher was gone
each lucky student
burdened by gratitude's debt
becomes a teacher
I came across a sad soul whose teacher had passed on. He had taught her much about rules, terms and nuances. I told her that I sought him out; I needed instruction. She smiled.
