Teaching Lesson Poem by Francie Lynch

Teaching Lesson



I was a teacher.
I loved the job.
I didn't need to be intelligent.
Many of my students
Were much smarter than me.
Some were genius.
I never,
Not once,
Ever,
Felt threatened
By their wizardry.
I knew
I was
More knowledgeable.
And by the time
They caught up,
They didn't need
To feel so smart.

I could just imagine the competition of genius in the class. Sounds like a great relationship you had with students where the competition ended and they enjoyed who they were.

Some were genius with the muse of life. Nice work.
