Best Classroom Poems

From a classroom,
       illuminating our tomorrows -
with a stick of chalk, you bring art
and insight to curious minds. 
Magically, you light sparks.                 ...

Teacher's droning on,
about something I should know
monotone voices go on,
raised volumes attack.
So few respect my quiet
those that do are rare.
My quiet has a reason,
for those who dare to listen,
a magical tale.
A tale of woe, strife, and joy.
Few do listen to my tale.
those that do will...

Some boys forget their mom's words,
they leave for school in a mad rush
with uncombed hair looking like nerds;
in the classroom they have a crush.
Liz, their teacher, wears tight jeans,
they can't concentrate on the test;
she's happy for attracting the teens,
their girlfriends notice their unrest.
They hate their...

Stillness with movement,
Silence but loud.
Darkness and cold,
enclosed but wide open.

I remember my life 
as an empty classroom.
Everyday was still and slow,
but it passed fast and unexciting.
I was alone in my pain, 
loud but unheard.
I could not speak my feelings,
for no one seemed to care.
I cried...

QUIET, quiet, quiet!!!
Why won't these children listen?
They are constantly talking oblivious of the fact that their education is going down the drain.

Can't they see the opportunity that they have been given to elevate themselves?
Can't they see that some underpriviledged or unfortunate child would be glad...

Every day at recess I play catch with the boys
No matter what they can’t throw where they’re told
Just one good pass
To bend over that many times, I’m getting too old

I throw them a pass
And it slaps off their hands
When they do finally catch one
They celebrate...

The work of a teacher is never done.
To think, that one must traverse a sea of minds.
Academically rowing against pop culture.
Nowadays, that's next to impossible.
Still, every weekday morning, they set sail
And prepare for the battle ahead.
Year after year, wave after wave.
Relentless.
Some years, the storms are...

The classroom
Is a place of romance
When he's not there
Mama nile river gives service with a twinkle in her eyes...

Things that Do Not Work in a Classroom or an Office 

eye roll
ineffective
sarcasm
even less effective
yelling
They do not notice; they hear it at home
shaming
this teacher or manager needs a new career...

In The Classroom
 Mundane  rehearsal  of the 
same thoughts
Whispers nothing, the mind is 
blank 
Seems like you are in the 
darkness, constantly hiding.
From your own shadow 
Air is thick and stench fills the 
room
Like a growling wind that wooes
All the lost souls to...

I remember 
so well 
the friends 
that I made
when childhood 
was wrapped 
in blue sky

but I cannot
remember 
the last time 
we played
 - and whether 
we all said 
goodbye....

Salute to the woman who knows who she is
And why she is who she is
A powerful being
Once thrown into a deep end of the ocean
But swam her way back to shore
She never stops moving forward
Nothing can ever pull her backwards
Such a brave warrior

Shout out to...

Ellipse, evolute, vertex and curve,
Humdrum circle or ricochet swerve
Astroids or cusps, arcs or sectors;
What have those got to do with vectors?
Curvature, cone, Cartesian plane…
Oval, deltoid… what’s in a name?
Geoid oscillation, pedal, radial, rose…
What on earth do I know of those?
Hypocycloid, cruciform, Sierpinski carpet…
Inverse tangent or...

We had a most horrid schoolteacher,
And us children did all hate her,
She’d shout at us for no real reason,
And threaten to see us later,
She had a dip on a Florida trip,
And was swallowed by an alligator,
But only crocodile tears were shed,
‘Cos we were all just...

She is so exquisite
Even without make-up on her face
She is exceptional
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has a big heart
Even though she appears small
She lets others belong
But...
