Words from a Teacher's Past, 26


“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #5: (i) dwindle, (j) wistful

I felt my hopes then dwindle, for
The sky was dark—a twister there?
I’d hoped to have a day more fair
To celebrate my new pet bear.

A wistful silence fills my heart
As I recall that fateful day.
The days my hopes all went away—
That day my bear tore me apart.

(And there was a tornado.)
