We avert our bat-eared teacher's gaze
concrete encrusted with a silvery glaze
a step outside in the winter haze
an icy crystal on a fingertip
a tender snowflake on a trembling lip
the teacher takes her mug and has a sip
sit back down, quick as quick.

Beautiful poem. You truly describe and show both the students and the teacher's feelings in a short but sensually beautiful poem.

A tender slice of school life, putting the monotony of the daily grind against the excitement of the changing weather through the window.

It only snowed for about five minutes, but the children were on tenterhooks all day!  Thanks for reading, cloudyomuffin will be so pleased to see your comments in the morning.
