Dear Ms. Keith,

for my high school art teacher.

You live in a world so deep,

you're as calm as the bees,

and you live at ease with peace.

You give your students release,

You're a conversation piece,

And you give us your keys,

Keys to the calm bees,

Keys to the peaceful trees

Keys to go deep overseas.

We are your devotees

We drink your critics like tea

We long to live at peace with ease

just like Ms. Keith.

This is an awesome tribute! So jazzy & representative of all the traits you want to highlight in your teacher -- these same attributes also shine in your words. I've never heard of anyone celebrating this particular collection of qualities in a person, but these are the very ideas I thrive on! I'm a rhyme-aholic & this is also a strong rhyming riff (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you so much! I'm glad her beauty and uniqueness made it across in my poem.

A teacher can influence and teach us in ways we'll never forget. I think under their tutelage we take in their teachings like seeds then sprout into our own unique selves. Nice writing here.
