2016 OctPoWriMo - #3

Today's prompt was "Sparkle." I thought about a time when I walked into a classroom and the sparkle could not be missed or contained.

Guest Speaker

Starry brown faces

registered surprise, joy, awe

"She's a black teacher!"

Bodies wriggled, eyes

twinkled, awaited a voice

that sounded like home.
