Best Pupil Poems

A Pupil of Papua New Guinea 


I live in a village deep in the jungle 
And cross rivers on foot and by wooden boat
Westerns have come but have not taken our pride

Village men perform an ancient ritual,
 A tribal dance 
Honoring their ancestors and praying...

how do you play so lovely
you play it with your shoulders and you play it with your hips
why am I shaking so when I play with you
you’re cold and you’re wet
no … yes
let's try again silly, this is your spot, now start counting...

There is some hate behind every pupil-
Hidden by the warm smiles in your eyes.
You shake my Hand with all bliss
And embrace me like a mother-
But there is some evil buried in your thoughts.

The soft sweaty hands
Will soon transform to iron
the very smile to Murder-desire-
Then will...

Research shows, teams under-perform, despite
all extra resources; members just fight
don't agree on agenda; an upright
leader gives professional touch for sight.

Disciplined leader chooses team mate right
for the job in best way; guide and ignite
with direction, she owns fully unite
team efforts, takes risk for result aright.

But, her...

Education isn’t vain for any child
school process, biting for both as the peeling of onions
intelligence is sad, looks and shrugs
the mind of this young chap is a busy compound
trying its best to catch up but still staggers
how can this sleepy brain be made to get...

In this journey through time
there will be many lessons learned,
and many tasks defeated.
Stay strong and life will go on.
Never believe you're alone,
even when you get lonely.
You are a pupil and you are learning,
and space is moving on.
Don't dwell on the past but don't forget it.
Never...

Star Pupil
A teacher took a girl aside to mention
That he had noticed her lack of attention
And had done nothing at all today in class
The pupil replied “oh sir, indeed I have.”

“I composed a poem, it’s my best one yet”
“I’m sure you will agree, so please...

Eye said:
"To be loved one must first learn to love oneself."
Pupil said reflecting:
"I'll look for someone just like you and me."
"One who wears a daisy chain of forget-me-nots, blue."
"For loving eyes see eye to eye, true."...

let me whisper softly causing you to heed
this is no magic spell of wonderment
cast to hold you closer in my need
a simple pull on leaning ear
an excercise of mind in deed
As my exposed thoughts are there to read
directed concentration meant to feed
voraciously and blindly to...

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...

Though unlived ages defter poets shall bring,
And blur all rhymes woven in my barren span;
May young pupil-scribes with like relish savor
These yellowing tropes as sworn zealots can. 

Despite the flurrying crop of many sharper wits,
Let new apprentices of fine art read these lines;
And gratefully gain...

Little Tommy surprised pretty Miss.May,
With a Lovely card on Valentine’s Day,
It said, “you are so lovely,
And me so very lonely”,
Marry dad and be with me everyday!

School 

A teacher smiles with the bad news
He won’t get his grades, in their view
He’s wasted ten years attending school
he’s good in PE and the swimming pool

It’s last-ditch, with exams months away
At ten parent’s evenings they failed to say
Gave you no warning until it’s too...

Work is my play.
It's a time to be with people and laugh and sing, and teach children how to love themselves.
Work is my sword.
It's heart-felt, and natural, and exciting as things are always being thrown at me.
Work is my life.
Here is an example of what...
