Below is the creative work of my student Mariam Chehadeh, who took my Molecular Genetics course Spring 2023. A very surprising creative work.

My DNA, you inspire me to write!
I adore the way you conserve and express.
Invading my mind day and night.
Always dreaming about your work in progress.

Let me compare you to a unique bouquet.
You are very selfish, precious, and rare.
Your truthful breeze flaps the blueprint dancers of May.
And springtime has the singular spare.

How can I see you? I will count the ways.
Because you are highly intricate and complicated.
Oh, how your helical structure swirls my days!
Though my need for you is anticipated.

Now I must deal with a heavy heart.
Remember my warm words while we are apart.
