Teacher as a ChemistSarah's need for order
Marcus's wild imagination
Aisha's emotional intelligence
Thomas's critical thinking
Bonding occurs
through shared purpose:
"We sink or swim together"
Reactions happen
when elements combine:
conflict ? resolution
confusion ? clarity

Art ClassArt class:
where mistakes
become discoveries,
where mess
means
learning,
where every child
is
Picasso
and
Einstein
rolled into one
paint-stained
possibility.

Finger PrintHe was deeply worried,
A problem lay within,
Buried in the depths of his heart,
Countless slaves in his possession.
He wanted to control
All of them, he needed
A unique identity for each.
Suddenly, he struck upon
The idea of a fingerprint.

We shall be speaking Physics by the end of todayThis is a problem growing in direct proportion
To the papers that we face very soon
In everyone’s speech a pronounced distortion
And half the class sleepwalking at noon
I’m here chiefly to bring to your attention
You may soon not understand us
Because I for one, others by extension
Shall be speaking nothing but Physics because
James is moving about too excited

The Labubu CrazeLabubu grins, a curious work of art,
Kasing Lung’s dream, brought forth from the heart.
Pop Mart displays, collecting carts start,
Lisa’s embrace gives trends a new chart.
People of faith, consider your part,
Not every craze should capture your heart.
Fame’s shining lure can pull us apart,
Discernment and wisdom must always take part.
Enjoy what...

Old Shaftesbury WomanConcrete dust drifts like sand across a coastal path.
An old woman battered with facial features that hung on her face,
Disconnected and hanging.
She leans forward in her blumonge, waterproof, unwashed nylon flares from Matalan.
They ruffle in the wind as she looks out withdrawn onto the A350.
Her gaze is muffled by a sheen of...

What you don't know won't hurt you~that she saw her mother as a child lying strewn on the kitchen floor black and blue~
~that the taste does not matter only that it should be sufficient~
that what you don't know won’t hurt you
~that she’d let those who don’t know her home feel the fight stuffed in her school blouse~
~that she has...

Neatness and GodlinessEvery picture I’ve seen of you as a child,
You wear your hair in plaits.
A stern middle parting and two dark brown braids
Falling down on each shoulder.
A maypole’s dream.
You would do your best to wash them when you could,
When shampoo was available,
Or even in the single, small bathroom.
You would vigorously scrub your face too
With...

Hopeful mindTime's gone, religion's in decline,
Why don't we care about this line?
Used by tyrants, the poor consider it fate,
Do they care about the poor's state?
The night of darkness started soon,
But still shining the brightest moon.
Tyrants swimming in a pool,
Poor watching, feeling cool
Different religions, different rules.
Poor confused, but they are fools.
Horror dreams, horror thoughts,
They are holding charity...

Class ReunionSix besties had agreed
at graduation,
pinky swore,
to meet ten years later
no matter where they'd be,
come what may.
And here they were finally:
Gayle, Suzie, Diane, Donna, Lucy, Michelle,
together at last from across the country.
They had kept in touch through facebook
as much as their busy schedules allowed.
All had gone off to university or college.
Some had since married, some had...

That Is How Small The Mind Could Be To Beat
Soft heart can tell the silent dark sky's heat,
Red eyes might grow tough to handle mettle...
That Is how small the mind could be to beat.
Finger might flip up hints to pure deceit,
Somewhat so close to Cain's stunt on Abel;
Soft heart can tell the silent dark sky's heat.
Alcohol could have actualised such treat,
Upon rage within, ever...

We Wear The MaskWe Wear The Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar
After poem by Olabosoye Wemimo Olaoluwa
Love of our land's labour should make us proud;
The efforts, time, and energy put through...
Well enough to place our pride clear as vowed.
But we wear the mask of pain we don't plowed,
When slavery is to labourers in blue...
Love of our land's labour...

The Tallest Tale Is True
I wish lie could see,
Justly of truth as so be,
But lie's wish does flee...
Far away truth eye's decree.
Tales, love tells are often so high
For eyes to catch up,
But which, mind's wish could swallow?
Why won't lie be blur,
Not as life moments defer?
But how light prefer
Beyond possible threat's stir...
Tales are often so high, love tells...
Eyes up to...

I Broke My Own HeartUnder my covers
We talked skin to skin
Shaking and trembling
Wondering when to begin
With one little whisper
And one little grin
I entered heaven
While knowing I sinned
I’m not sure about you
But my soul can’t pretend
What started at hello
For me never ends
All the words for your ears
Can only live in my pen
It’s the passion that’s lacking
It’s only calling...

lost in daydreamsmy mind's a plane that takes off slow
drifting where I don't even know
while teachers talk and clocks just tick
I'm floating past the classroom thick
I see colors no one else can see
places where I just want to be
a secret world inside my head
where nothing's boring, nothing's dead
sometimes it feels like I'm awake
but really, I'm on a...
