How all the children loved their last teacher. First day her feast. Could not clap and give gifts. For there now was someone they did not know. A brand new teacher had arrived for school. 8 February 2021 Double Tetractys 7 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper Picture No 2 Placed 1

Takes one back to sitting in class feeling the apprehension of getting a new teacher. Your words fit the picture so well Victor ~~ Belle

Great poetry, Victor. How many children would have witness a scene like this.

The children are always shocked when this happens; for they almost always love their teacher. Great scenario for this Double Tetractys, Victor.

Ah yes the fear and uncertainty of welcoming a new teacher. What kind of person is he/she. What kind of teacher is he/she. Well done. God Bless my friend. JB

Kids get attached to the teacher--you captured their reaction well, Victor, when they face someone new. I know you will win.

This is done with perfection. All lines same length. Reminded me of school days, new teacher always uncomfortable. Take care Rama

Ahh!! Won't that be awesome to have a surprise birthday party the first day of a new teacher's being there. Reads like a winner to me. Sara

A twist on this Norman Rockwell painting. That would be so sad for the class that meant to surprise their known teacher.
