My Teacher Said

My Teacher Said
My teacher said, before he died
Read and write if you have a book like this
Tell and kill, if you an idea like this
See and don’t see, that what you should
Give and grab, from whom you wish to
Do and do, but don’t do tell
Cut and till, the worst and best
Share and care, of love and laugh
Choose and chase that good and bad
Jump and down, to the Earth and Sky
Then come and ask here, whom you were !

* Ramesh, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
