Teacher-Poet Poem by Sandra Feldman
Teacher-Poet
Poet-teacher, Teacher-poet,
The whole World is your classroom,
Show it!
How transparent is the glass
Of wisdom, goodness,
Write it,
Teach it,
Have them know it,
How to avoid falsehood,
Be the living guide,
To purity and beauty,
Truth always by your side.
You have defined the ideal (and perhaps idealized) teacher who is ready to inspire and inform a student of (perhaps) equal potential. All is in readiness for the drama of education. I feel so positive and hopeful about this vision of the Teacher-Poet - he or she is the one we need today to take charge of a vexed system collapsing under its own weight, when instead teachers ans students should be F-L-Y-I-N-G to each of the wonders of the world at large. Wheee

Very beautiful, Sandra. I think you are speaking to all of us. I do try, in my poems, to be a voice to the world and to teach, not only express my feelings.
