The exercise:

My favorite high school teacher is in the middle of a well deserved spring break at the moment, so I thought it'd be reasonable to use that as today's topic.

Plus, she baked up some fantastic pumpkin cookies this morning and I thought this would be the least I could do in return.

So: spring break.

Mine:

You've been working much too hard -
Sit down and breathe deep;
It's time to relax, let down you guard,
Get some extra sleep.

Those little terrors you teach
Can't bother you here;
On this couch you're out of reach
And the coast is clear.

So enjoy this break of spring,
Savor each moment;
See the peace each second brings
And just be present.
