Never received a dig, but I've blown one a few times. And yes, same sound as in "Miracle Workers." I'd be surprosed if i didn't write another poem in which I could chant.

Mr. Mali, you are amazing. You're poem "What Teachers Make" has inspired me to return to college in the fall and follow my dream of being a high school English teacher.

[mooxim]

haha that's the noise you do in "miracle workers". Has anyone ever tried to give you a didgeridoo?

@jantoniello I hope that when/ if you go to school to become a teacher, you learn the difference between "your" and "you're" and you proofread your work! - Carol, 25.5 years as a middle school science teacher and still teaching ;^)

this particular piece hits me in ways only good art does-- directly, and quite unexpectedly.

thanks for posting your stuff Taylor.... you're one of the few who truly inspire me.
