Pomegranate Seeds metaphor

I’ve been an instructor with the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program for over 15 years.

Every class is different. How best to describe my students?

~ a herd of deer?
~ a pack of wolves?
~ a litter of puppies?

Here’s a haiku I wrote after teaching the first class of a new quarter:

Twelve crisp, ruby sweet
pomegranate seeds: my new
delicious students
