Third row back
never back chat
yet nobody knows my name.
I am the classroom ghost
Faceless to most
Silent learner lurking in the shadows.
Alison Jean Hankinson
I am putting this in for the open link night. I wrote this last week and yes it is/was inspired by my day-job…. Foe d’Verse open link
The inspiration actually came from a very lovely student who gave the description “lurking in the shadows” when asked what skulking meant. I sent a postcard home.

I was “invisible” in school. I found if we don’t make waves we float along just fine. (But still make a ripple now and again!)
