Victor Buhagiar Poet Tetractys

Notes About The Poem

The Disappointed Children

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.

Harry Horsman February 8, 2021 at 10:10 PM Great poetry, Victor. How many children would have witness a scene like this.

Caren Krutsinger February 8, 2021 at 9:30 PM The children are always shocked when this happens; for they almost always love their teacher. Great scenario for this Double Tetractys, Victor.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 8, 2021 at 6:59 PM So touching and relatable, Victor. It takes me to memory lane. :=) Best wishes for the contest

Judy Ball February 8, 2021 at 4:54 PM 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

Vijay Pandit February 8, 2021 at 6:35 AM Kids get attached to the teacher--you captured their reaction well, Victor, when they face someone new. I know you will win.

Rama Balasubramanian February 8, 2021 at 6:30 AM This is done with perfection. All lines same length. Reminded me of school days, new teacher always uncomfortable. Take care Rama

Sara Kendrick February 8, 2021 at 6:07 AM 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

Kim Rodrigues February 8, 2021 at 4:12 AM A twist on this Norman Rockwell painting. That would be so sad for the class that meant to surprise their known teacher.

Tom Cunningham February 8, 2021 at 1:32 AM That brought back memories Victor, always that dread, what would they be like.? Good luck in the contest. Tom
