A teacher

You
must get
to know me
to really learn
how I think and act.
But when you look at me
you see blonde hair and blue eyes,
muscles from running and tennis,
crinkles from laughter around my eyes,
and freckles across the bridge of my nose.
What you cannot see is my heart and soul.
I am more than the sum of my parts.
I am a daughter, sister, friend.
I wake each day alive with
my passion for teaching
the beauty of words;
then, at day's end,
coming home
to my
love.

    it is marvellous! awesome writing in a beautiful form! I like it
    "What you cannot see is my heart and soul."
    This line is striking, we hear it often but that is really very very true.

    Very well written!! I like it a lot. It was really interesting that you put this whole poem into the shape of a dimond. And that you were directing this poem to your teacher. You did exacly what I asked, a poem about yourself this was perfect for the option that you chose.
    Keep Writing

    Liz, You are more than a teacher, you are a sage. Words of wisdom and love filled this page before my eyes. You painted a picture of yourself so clearly with your words. I didn't get a look at the other entries, but they must have been more than fantastic for you not to place in this contest. Thank you for sharing your gift and yourself with all of us here. Kudos for you my dear friend. Love and God bless, Joyce

    P.S. I hope that Jason saw this one.

    Why can't I write beautiful things like this? I am also a teacher but I wrote about custard! How sad is that?! Anyway, back to you - this is beautiful!
