This is a beautiful poem, Mr. Doty! It's simple and straightforward but still touching and inspiring. I often say we are better together as a community than on our own.

The Dear Old Marist Brothers, I blame them for most of my failings. Truth is, they were men dedicated to teaching often lazy teenagers going through that life stage called puberty. Most of them did a good job, some were tough and a few near impossible. But their task was much tougher than ours. As students, our interest in studying generally varied between 0 and 15% and our attitudes were well short of that mark.
I'm sure they practised this philosophy, but they utilised a cane as their enforcer. That worked. Somehow, we finally survived and graduated. A great write.

    Thanks for the six stars and interesting review. Using the cane as an enforcer isn't necessary when the teacher does what he/she should.
    I feel for you and your fellow students who weren't interested in learning for the sake of learning.
    Thanks for sharing. Your kind and thoughtful review is appreciated.

Hi Jesse,
This poem has no specific rhyme scheme but flows well. I agree that if people work together more can get done for the better. Procrastination is never good.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.
Joan

I love the philosophical musing like these lines
the best

Together



we must lead not follow



today, not tomorrow





If you hesitate



you will demonstrate



only tears of sorrow





By working together



we can reach past the sun

Begin with the expression

each one teach one

This philosophical poem, Each One Teach One, moves the concept of working together for a common cause with a positive attitude and an eye on the future.

While reading this I found myself wanting to reach for a hand of another and follow the shadows that lead me to watch the sunset. Loved the picture with the poem, they help to capture the words that our written to find another, we can conquer all together to see brighter tomorrows. Keep the faith and the words flowing

    Holding hands and watching the sunset are two things that follow the teach one, each one philosophy. We offer hope to conquer today to bring a brighter tomorrow. All together now.
    Thanks for your encouraging feedback.

I really dig the ingredients assembled for this stir, not quite feelings it's arrangement: thinking something else perhaps.
Together
we must lead
If we hesitate
we will demonstrate
only tears of sorrow
not tomorrow
by working together
today not follow
with the expression
each one to teach the other
we can reach past the sun
a new beginning together.
Just a feeling: definitely feeling that usage of we rather than you. All views reflected in my given viewpoint prevailing this read.

    Thank you for stirring up my ingredients in this poem. I appreciate your viewpoint and I will consider the change at a later time.
    This recipe is a filling for teaching each other one person at a time.
    Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I really liked this poem, it sends out a great message to children and adults. If each of us teaches just one person something that makes that person feel better, do better, acheive more, and also shares that knowledge with one other person, what a wonderful world it would be. Very well done, Jesse. Warmest hug, Sandra xx

    Yes, Sandra, you have made my point exactly. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone taught each other one person at a time for the betterment of all humankind.
    Thanks for the warmest hug.
