The Teacher

The Teacher

A Poem by Raj Sahu
"

This poem emphasizes on the features of a teacher.

"


An individual tries with numerous cries,
To make their future better.
But they make out the mockery,
With gibberish talk and clatter.

He is that patient wick who was never sick,
Of being burned for other's sake.
'The frugal time will always flit'
Such teachings and statements he always make.

With many sights, various lives he lights,
An amicable and pleasant character.
He, who always follow impartiality,
Uplift the child in every sector.

I really bow before such a creature.
He is none other than a teacher.

It is again a beautiful work by a beautiful author. A teacher is very important in an individual's life who leads him/her from dark to light. Really the very comparison you made between a teacher and a candle is worth commendable. The sacrifice of wax is same as the sacrifice of energy and time of a teacher. This is penned well. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed the story of a teacher. And how such a story is told. Very eloquent with such descriptive wordage.

Way to go! Explain it the best way you want and the only way you can!

Thank you.
Your though is nice but, It's little hard to understand. You used some words that I heard first time. Otherwise, your poem was really good.

Small edits. “another’s” “follows” “uplifts”

Not a fan of “cries” in the first line, though. Any alternatives?

We are lucky to find a teacher who inspires us. I had a great teacher in high school. She was my mentor. I would have never graduated without her. Nicely written. I sure wouldn't want to be a teacher in a classroom full of rowdy kids who don't care what I have to say.

This reminds me of the tortoise and the hare, how the slowest wins the race. The generation now, which I am in, is a now generation. We have grown up with the internet and expect everything ASAP. This shows that those who are patient don't burn out as quickly, sorry for the pun lol. Great job!

LOL! Thank you for your review.
Great wording but like a previous comment said, smaller words in this case would push your meaning so much farther. I really enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing a piece of your mind.
