Mentors Poems

Our Guides

To those who guide with wisdom’s light,
Through every challenge, wrong, and right.
You shape our minds, our hearts, our way,
We honor you on this Teacher’s Day.

With patience deep and knowledge vast,
You help us learn, from first to last.
In every lesson, big or small,
You catch us when we fear the fall.

With humorous classes, that makes us hustle,

In Praise of Mentors

Deliver me from the arrogance of self-satisfaction
Feeling content in myself, as though I needed no one,
Thinking of others as no more than a distraction
Failing to acknowledge how many helped me run.
Owing gratitude to the many mentors in my life
They share the trophies for victories I’ve won,
Many were there guiding me through the strife,
“No man is

The Mentor

In dreams I appear and take her
Down a path she dares not wander
In a town beset by plunder
I shake her blood and bone

In dreams she asks my guidance
How to live in holy silence
Beyond the anger of her father
Enrich her mind and soul

Hold me inside all the night
Your leader's your baby
Hold me inside all the night

Ode To One of Mentors, John Denver, Rip, American Singer

  Ode to John Denver, My Mentor, RIP!


You still burn brightly like a comet in my eyes.
You_John Denver, far too young to die.
People think of you as a singer and that's all?
You, who wanted all humanity to be fed, a purpose 
far from small.

Humble is spirit, but who knows that?
Just an entertainer?
They only see

Infant Marriage

There has been a joining of an adult male and a female child
Not quite a proud owner of a single pubic hair,
Letting a lamb under the same roof as The Wild
And treating both as “A Divine Pair”

The man’s boyish smiles are a ruse:
The girl hasn’t yet begun to bolted bathrooms use…
Now, there are to be

Velvet Mentors

                   Velvet Mentors



You do not know who mine are.
Let's say they are a chorus of human angels.
Who helped me believe that no dream was too far,
No mountain, for any reason, was too high to climb,
No wish could

All American Mentors

A happy healthy and wealth-integrated Right Brain
grows maturely silent as a calm winter night,
content to allow LeftBrain to ego-chatter away
debating further cooperative plans
for Earth's and RightBrain's and, 
most immediately and satisfyingly nutritious,
EgoSelf's better beloved belonging day.

In an evolutionary historical sense,
we are each and all,
Western and Eastern hemispheres,
Northern and Southern hemispheres,
RightBrain embedded in Matriotic Earth's flowing

My Amish Mentors Part 1

Sister Faith took me in,
teaching me all
different practical things,
everything from canning foods
and churning butter,
milking the cows and
squeezing the udders,
sewing and darning all
of the clans clothes,
washing them all by
using a washboard,
hanging them on the
clothesline outside,
going for a horse 
and buggy ride,
plowing the fields
using an old mule,
making all the meals
and clothes from scratch, 
which was yet another

Mentors Inspire and Encourage a Poet's Worth

Mentors inspire and encourage

Have you ever gotten discouraged? 
Doesn't matter how hard you apply
Your afflicted emotions just get in the way
To the point the artist ceases to create

The human mind thrives with positive   
Physical and cognitive response
The brain will not be motivated if
It’s starving for those emotions 
And it’s parched for words

Our Lost Mentors

Where have you gone Mr. Ruth?
When you left did you delete truth
from this world of virtual glut?
Who will let our babies know?
Who will hand them up from the sidewalk, 
the drive by sting of death, 
still a question in their lifeless eyes.

Where are you Mr. Wayne?
Have you left us never to return again?
Who will close

Poet Mentors (Diatelle)

Please 
Help me now
I beseech thee
I ask that you show me
Just how to write a good poem
Yes, I am so very eager to learn
And yes, I will also pass the knowledge along
As I succeed, you will succeed as well
For, I will never take credit
Of that which is not mine
I’ll give it back
To all my 
Friends

Mentors To a Young Poet

Author Note:  Anapestic tetrameter: two unstressed syllables followed by a 
stressed syllable.


So I queried some poets who dance 'cross our pages,
With such lightness and patterns and passion-filled phrases.
"When your guidance is sought by one earnest and wide-eyed,
Do you deign to reply just to prop up your self-pride?
Do you tell her, 'It's simple, just read
