Touch Screen Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Touch Screen



I will tread back
Holding a satchel
A piece of chalk
Stolen from the class

But I have moved
To a stylus
Pressed between the tips
Of fingers

I touch and touch
Without feeling.

A teacher of our generation is accustomed with chalk and duster. In modern days, these traditional teaching aids are fast getting replaced with modern technological gadgets...(part 1)

Sometimes I really wonder how things evolved over few decades, we moved on so quickly from bulock-cart to jet age, from Ink pens to gel pens, from notebooks to touchpads.

This poem articulates laudably the love of a teacher to her chalk and duster though she is gradually accepting the modern trends and novel methods of teaching. I sincerely appreciate the soul of this fabulous poem.
