It's golden teacher appreciation day, a shiny red apple; Like scarlet carnations and roses, compel smiles ample. To worthy ones, who helped shape hopes and dreams, Like still silence of moonlight, when birdsong screams. A card for the teacher, at orange sunset of school days, Whose lessons follow forever, like a purple, misty haze. Deep emerald days of youth, as yellow butterflies roam, Will find you again in memory, after you've gone home.

This is quite a tribute. Methinks you had/have a female teacher in mind. (No man is worthy of all that colorful affection. He'd blush!). ~ Gershon

Thank you for the compliment, Gershon. I did have several unforgettable teachers all of whom did happen to be female. One of them spent extra time with me when I was in 2nd grade and not reading very well. She gave my learning such a boost, that I never fell behind again. I even learned a little Spanish! I hope your weekend is nice. Evelyn :)

In a masterful display of poetic craftsmanship, you skillfully select each word to craft a heartfelt tribute to the invaluable contributions of educators. Indeed, Evelyn, it is only fitting that teachers be honored with a day of their own for their tireless efforts in guiding and inspiring students day in and day out.

Much enjoyed this tribute to teachers, Evelyn: To worthy ones, who helped shape hopes and dreams, Like still silence of moonlight, when birdsong screams...A FAVE for your vocabulary.

I was a teacher once but did not relish the job. Teachers should be appreciated.

What a wonderful Teacher Appreciation tribute Evelyn, teachers deserve to have a day to call their own for all the work they do to help students along the way, day after day… Belle

Hi Evelyn, I really enjoyed your tribute piece to teachers everywhere. Teachers are amazing. They are unappreciated and under paid. Teachers do all that you said and much more. Years ago I took classes to be an early childhood teacher but I changed my major. Well done my friend;-)Alexis

Hi Alexis, So many of us have had a special teacher or teachers, who have impacted our lives greatly, and we never forget them. Thank you so much for your warm, positive remarks. :)
