Love-Struck Juvenile

... and his teacher's smile ...

I avoided her eyes

For most of the while

But I could not miss

Her glorious smile

I was a teacher's pet

A love-struck juvenile

She was my first love

Of unrequited style

And her memory's stayed

With me all this while

So many students have a crush on their teacher at some point during their studies and you have very poetically captured this unrequited love superbly in this succinct gem, Jim. I love that her memory has stayed with you as well as her beautiful smile! Love lives on and never dies! I like this poem very much and thank you for sharing, Jim...

Thank you so much. I had two major teacher crushes, and this one was the second. ~Jim
