Like rays of moon pouring through;
As constellations reel and dance.
She sought to have our skills enhance.
Beneath the time’s flowing tide;
Bless the thoughts that made me sail.
And higher aims that still prevail.
Though years have passed – recall her words
To stimulate like the moistest herbs.
Her mysteries one can not explain;
How rainbows appear – when there’s no rain.
Fit for a Poet’s finest thoughts;
Can’t long forget – how she taught.

Nice, it was an English teacher that touched me as well – and prompted me to begin writing. I would credit her with much of my success as well.

“How rainbows appear …” Isn’t it amazing how teachers like this take something inanimate like a book–words and sentences–and make them live like herbs in our recipe of life! Your images work very well.
