Countdown to Christmas

starI plug the lights in then I climb a chair.

Behind me, you direct me from afar,

telling me what I’m too close to see

as I adjust the star.

From Reading and Rhyming, a forthcoming volume of poetry by Herb Knapp

After a few years in advertising, writing reams of persuasive prose, I finally realized my true calling, went back to graduate school, and became a teacher, first in a public high school, then as a docent at the Merchant’s House Museum in New York City. Now, retired from teaching out loud, I silently share my thoughts with anyone who wants to listen.
