  1. Hello Everybody,
    Greetings!

    Let me first thank Mr./ Ms. Satarupa Joardar for inviting me to this wonderful POETRY FORUM for access teachers to share some creative feelings in the line of duty and go ahead hand in hand - yes, TOGETHER, in a body!

    Well, I wish to turn to my short introduction.
    I am Suresh, Suresh Kumar Shrestha from Birgunj, a submetropolitan city in Nepal. I have been a language teacher for over 15 years. Currently, I am giving classes at a higher secondary school, too, and preparing to be a good access teacher, which will come true only in your circle, sharing thoughts, tastes of teaching along with tedious tension.

    Oh.. it is getting longer.

    So,.. Well, it was nice sharing something with you all good fellows. Now it is your turn to share something, isn't it? :)

    Thank you!

    1. Hi everybody I wasn't able to add the poem to the front page, but I am writing it here as a comment.

      Teenage Mutant Student Turtles

      Aren't teens easygoing
      And some introvert
      If you know how to tame them
      They're gonna become your besties
      Unless you know how to tame them
      They're gonna become teenage mutant student turtles
      Energetic, unstoppable, alert and hilarious

    2. Hello everybody. I am Maria Flores . I am from Venezuela. This is my poem... I hope you enjoy this because it is the first one in English

      Sometimes

      Sometimes strong… as my coffee
      Sometimes kind as the sunlight
      Sometimes blue as the sky
      But happy as the parrots flying free
      As the flowers so delicate sometimes…
      As a beast so aggressive in unfairness
      As a kid demonstrate your tenderness
      And as free as I was and I´d like to return to be

  2. Hello!
    Since I do not know how to publish on the original page I will share my little poem over here as a comment. It's a bit sad, but I believe it is not a reality only in my country:


    She is shy
    she smiles
    he's not
    he approaches
    They look at each other and blush.

    Two days pass
    he called her yesterday
    today they will meet
    their hearts pound loudly.

    Two months pass
    she called him
    he hangs up angry
    she will have his baby
    "I am only sixteen!"

    Two years pass
    still in high school
    the baby is at home with grandma
    she hates boys
    he hates girls
    Both ask: Teacher, how do you say "aborto" in English?

  3. Hello Dear friends ,
    I tried to post my poem in the front page but I was not able to do that. However I was able to post in my blog : ecllatas.blogspot.com
    Here it comes :
    Whoever that has been a Teen will ever remember
    being enthusiastic but well-disciplined when learning English
    Do or Does , Have or has... how many times have I had to be
    perseverant and a risk-taker!
    Well This is what comes to my mind , nothing could stop us, we
    loved singing, playing and moving around the class..
    Now at my 50s ,I realize that whenever you teach teens
    you can not forget identifying such an spontaneous human
    being in your class because after all those who have a young soul
    are still a TEEN in the bottom of our hearts.

  4. Dear friends,
    Since I didn't know where to publish my poem I am writing it here. Hope you enjoy it and become a bookworm.

    Teens

    Teens, what an amazing intelligence all of you possess,
    countable or uncountable, Does or do, Has or Have, Do or Make
    how persistence, how creative, how decisive have I been,
    everything was worth,
    worth taking some risks, worth being a risk-taker.
    how much we have set our hearts on them,
    on the bus, in the car, how many times we have thought of them.
    but in fact, we are all teens when teaching them..
