What does a lack of imagination mean any way?

imagine that...


Poem Artwork

My adopted daughter's second grade teacher
Told me she is not creative
I pondered this over the years, as
I watched her put together outfits
That showed me she had imagination
I marveled at how she could weave hair
If that doesn't display creativity
I don't know what else to call it
I listened to her make up
All kinds of stories
She seemed to call "her life"
I didn't get why she fabricated so much
Now I wonder if she was
A novelist all along and didn't know it
Putting things together nicely
Weaving well
Fabricating lifestyles
Sounds creative to me
What does that teacher know any way

I am an educator myself and I know that some "teachers" should not be in the classroom. Thank you, Lynn. Love and peace to you,

I know that I always thought II knew more than my teachers did, and it seems that in your daughter's case, she did. Beautiful young lady.
