Teachers, I beg you to help me show them:
All students deserve the benefits of a poem;
You don't have to teach English to know
That students learn from the form and flow
That only a poem can provide.
Indeed, our creativity comes alive
Whenever we're forced to reason and rhyme;
It doesn't matter which subject you teach
A poem allows a student to stand up and reach
For the inner-creativity located inside -
A place where ideas and dreams coincide.
Science, history, special ed, languages, and art
Give the students poems a la carte;
Teachers of FCS, business, and elementary
Help them celebrate this month of Poetry
By showing them the types listed beneath
For poems aren't just for LA to teach!
