I enjoyed this! Did you get dinged for going over a stanza? (The directions indicate "it needs to be three to five stanzas"--and alas, you treated us to a sixth!

I love that you were there exciting the kids about writing!

You have some very creative rhymes here...
and a nice progressive flow to the poem...

Did they all write their own, after?

Who knows what enduring spark you've set aflame!

    No zing. I loved having facetime with student in the Creative Writing classroom twice a year for a teacher who adopted my work as, well ... creative.

I like the way you show life in a classroom. I guess that is what it is. It does no good to regret the past because what is done is done and over. I love the photo of your daughter. I wish you tons of luck in the contest.

Good response to the prompt. This is a wise poem about making the most of opportunities while you have them and not squandering them. You raise the question as to what does learning really involve.
