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.

Thank you!
The lines:
He is that patient wick who never sick,
To being burned for other's sake.
Would read better as:
He is that patient wick who was never sick,
Of being burned for other's sake.

But I really like the idea and descriptive language of the poem.

Thank you for your constructive review.
High praise for the teachers everywhere. Pay proper attention to your punctuation and syntax. These are are the only changes I would make without changing the structure.

"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 never sick,
To being burned for other's sake.
'The frugal time will always flit'
Such teachings and statements he always makes.

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

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

I dropped the one "their" to eliminate redundancy. The other changes were simply to correct the syntax. A singular object requires a plural verb and a plural object requires a singular verb. For instance. Tom buys but They buy...and Tom runs but They run. This is a simple rule of grammar and it always applies thus even when the objects are divided. Bill and Tom run but Bill (by himself) runs. Easily applied. I hope this helps you in your future writes. Bless.

Thank you so much. Your review is really constructive and helpful. 😊
Teaching is a most noble profession and I look back fondly on those who taught me with appreciation and thanks. Not always fully appreciated at the time.Your poem made me reflect on yesteryear. You took me back in time.

You are welcome.
The message of your poem is very beautiful. We should appreciate more our teachers because they dedicate their lives to help us prepare for what comes in life. I find it warming that someone expresses this thought in an artistic way. I consider teaching in the future, so it makes me happy that there are still people who realise the amount of work behind this carrer. Keep up your good working :)
