This poem is my own work, written twenty years ago and was published in ‘Life’s Wonders’ . I thought it was time I shared it with TES audience and I would love to think that you would use it with your students for discussion and analysis. This late in my life (semi-retired), I would love to see my poem put to good use. I have a few other poems, which I may upload later depending on what happens with this one.I hope you enjoy reading it.
