LINGISTIC MONK

This poem is about a professor who I admire most

When we were groping in the dark

Without any linguistic spark

A monk came from a cave

And showed us the pedagogic wave

 

His face was as beautiful as the moon light

We were all mesmerized by his sight

His smile is always a beauty

This reminds all of us our professional duty

 

He considers me one of his disciples

I always follow his principles

He has literary efflorescence

With a lot of academic arrogance

 

He shows us a divine candle

And guide us how to handle

He makes us to enchant the word discourse

I know all of you know his name, of-course

It may be a teacher for the students.But in my case, It is professor Anandan Of Kerala who is great linguist and ELT expert in India.He believes in krashen's theory of constructivism and the inventer of DISCOURSE ORIENTED PEDAGOGY(DOP)

I like the poem. Led us peasants reader on a journey of enlightenment. Sometime great knowledge is at our feet and we cannot see it. I like the ending to the outstanding poetry.
