Best Teaching Poems

I wish I met you in a past life
So I knew how to act right now
But soon this will be my past life
I’ll be smart from this experience 
for the next one
If I ever jump out of this hell hole
I hope I won’t be the...

"I saw some road kill on my way over," she said.
She had a horse laugh. "Just a dumb raccoon," she added.
I leapt over the sink and slapped her, hard. 
Leaving my entire hand print on her cheek in pink.
Her prissy stuck-up lady face looked stunned.
She...

Great
      Teaching 
     Requires a
   Desire burning
Not a mere paycheck
   To be earning--
    Not Spurning
        You or

The little hand, the big hand,
The numbers all o'clock;
The way the seconds move 
With every tick and every tock.

Explaining the positions
Showing 30 on its face,
A knowledge that no digit-flashing
Timepiece can replace.

I guess it's as old-fashioned
As when teaching kids to spell,
But there's value in those lessons,
Least...

We should teach the chimpanzees to read
the names of certain things. Objects like tools 
for instance
then label the tools: hammer, saw, axe,
screwdriver etcetera, then screws and nails.

Teach them just enough words to know
a pickaxe from a pencil…just a few practical words
for practical applications, not too...

I never knew you, says the Lord:
a verse that seems so untoward.

For did they not the demons pry,
and in His name, too, prophesy?

They did not shrink, forsake, or shirk
from doing many mighty works.

There’s power there for all to see,
and yet He says, Away from me!

But...

MATH: BUTTERFLIES AND MAGIC “SEVEN”

“We multiply,” said the Rabbit to the butterfly -
Addition makes too few of you - your life’s through
In as many weeks as there are letters in “SQUEAKS”
If for every one of you, we Rabbits birth 22
How few of you would equal...

You’ll wanna forget, but I’ll sell your kisses for a bag and a rig.

My glory rides on a brick and a gram
You’ll never get more then half my mind.
I’ll eat ya to put you to sleep 
Cause my dick won’t step up half the time.
Your...

I wrote this as a tribute for one of my former teacher, Mrs. Barbara Shaw.
With Her keen abilities to teach and reach the hearts of children of all
ages, coupled with a caring nature and calm spirit, inspired hundreds, if not
more, to cope with life while...

I was a learned college professor, who was forever eager to know more,
As blue-gray waves, finding sandy beaches, turn to seek another shore.

I drove to work smiling, in those tangerine days, so glad for avid youths,
Like when dusky stars waltz out dreamy, winking to show...

Teach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day....

She tried to get my attention a number of times
But It was not possible because
I was a country or two away
Wearing brown leather swashbuckler pants
White billowy blouses, and multi-buckled boots, 
Fighting pirates with Sabers.
I was mighty and terrifying.
Hearing my war cry turned their blood to...

Her Father was the Creator
Of the heavens and the earth
He gave her all of creation
Then, in time, He gave her
His word

The Bible was His precious 
Book – of grace, faith and hope
Sprinkled in Love beyond measure
Love that could even be heard
In the scriptures He breathed
Light...

As we did the month preceding 
This the next department meeting
Time and time without a reason
To be present or to listen

For there’s nothing on the floor
Beneath us different than before 
It was the last time that we met
As everybody knows and yet

Again we sit around...

Allow yourself to be taught,
And with that knowledge plant a seed.
Let it grow so you may harvest a dream. 
And another and another like fruit from a tree.

And let yourself catch a wind,
And sail should there be water to float,
And with that knowledge navigate the...
