Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Lessons That Linger

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.

Gershon Wolf June 15, 2023 at 7:52 PM 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 Evelyn Judy Buehler June 15, 2023 at 9:11 PM 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 :)

Victor Buhagiar June 1, 2023 at 1:47 AM I was a teacher once but did not relish the job. Teachers should be appreciated. Evelyn Judy Buehler June 1, 2023 at 12:21 PM They definitely should be. They help shape the future. :)

Beryl Edmonds May 31, 2023 at 6:50 PM 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 Evelyn Judy Buehler May 31, 2023 at 8:07 PM A good education is a lasting gift. Thank for for your kind, thoughtful comment, Belle. :)

Alexis Y. May 31, 2023 at 6:38 PM 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 Evelyn Judy Buehler May 31, 2023 at 8:02 PM 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. :)
