One of my students wrote sentence composure instead of sentence composition.
When thinking about how they read or write, some students don't know what words to use. But they don't mind the attempt.
Discoveries abound. For some students it doesn't take much, just an invitation.
Some students have realized that if they can't get beyond terms like deeper meaning and line-by-line they haven't thought hard enough.
Some students disclosed, in cautious tones, they might switch majors to English.
The more they learn to write, the fewer words they use.

This is unrelated to your post "Results" but I decided to make a note her since it is related to your poetry.
These are my favorite lines from one of your poems. Nice work.
"Morning is disguise
he believes. The river is a thin road
to the iron bridge. What bright-eyed goddess
formed that notion, he wonders, adding two
pens and slips of paper to his pockets,
packet of seeds, something he can offer."
When I pasted it into the comment box the format was out of place.
