Teacher

Heart a hater
trace heartache
hear react cheer
he her each
chart care there
art create teach…

© Andrew Wilson, 2023

 Björn Rudberg (brudberg) in Meeting the Bar: Critique and Craft over at dVerse Poets Pub, invites us to write an Anagrammatic Poem,

  1. Select a title of one word containing not more than 3 vowels and 4 consonants.
  2. Try to find as many words that are using only the letter in the title
  3. Combine this into a poem of your own
  4. Do not use any punctuation in the poem

I picked the word Teacher – the artwork is created in Midjourney.

      Thanks Di, it was a great challenge – mind-stretching – I may try it again with a bit more time…

      Thank you Grace, I think all teachers, if not all people, should be issued with a T-shirt with “Art, Create, Teach!”…

      Thank you David – funny I thought of
      he her each
      chart care there
      as being more the paired couplet but that pairing reads too…

    Teacher is an interesting word choice, seeing as I was one, and ‘hear react cheer’ and ‘art create teach…’ resonate with me. Nicely done, Andrew!

      The poem looked so small and lonely I had to go to Midjourney and create a companion image Helen…

      Different lines have resonated with different people, from being unsure immediately after writing, I am now happy with all of it Dora, thanks for visiting…
