Ode to my Teachers!

This Teacher’s Day, I dedicate this poem to all my teachers who have played a significant role in my life to build up my career and help me strive where I am today.

With a black slate and a piece of chalk,

I walked into the corridors.

My sweat clinched feast

And a pinch of disquiet.

With this started my itinerary

Of the school days memory,

With a bag behind my shoulders

That hardly I could bear.

There she came,

Asked me my name.

With a startled voice

I replied, Leave me in my residence.

She grasped me in her arms

And gave me a candy,

And I went to school from then

In lure of that sweet dainty.

Gradually she taught me letters

And that would bring me tears

But little did I know then

It was the fundamental of the universe!

Then came the subjects

Math, science, and intellects

But with much ease and lucidity

She helped me learn with jollity.

Today is the time

To dedicate this paean

For holding my hand

And showing me the world.
