A TEACHERble Moment

A TEACHERble Moment on My Love

Write about your first crush.

‘Twas my love was beautiful to many.
I called her Lotus,
Or perhaps Lily,
And I was watered. 

This was love and nothing silly.
For she Rose
With a peculiar pleasure, 
Reminding me how Bleeding Hearts
Could grow in any weather. 

My Love would put me in a Daisy.
And though she was not Violet
No, she was not violent,
I could never forget.

Our love was so rich.
Even the Marigolds were jealous.

Sometimes I’d laugh at her.
Oh! My little Lavender,
Oh! My little Sunflower,
What seeds have you grown now?

Because you’ve planted in me
The most beautiful flower there is,

Love.

My name is Erykah Gray, but most people know me as Miss Gray. I hail from the charming town of Centreville in Southern Mississippi. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in English from The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg and a Master of Arts in Literature from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Today, I’m a proud doctoral student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, because I believe that learning is a lifelong journey—and I’m passionate about being on that path. Teaching isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. I love speaking, writing, and inspiring others to find their voice. Every day in my classroom, I strive to make learning exciting and meaningful while helping my students grow into confident, inspired thinkers ready to take on the world. Here, I plan to do the same.

    Those specific reasons why you chose each flower comprise a nice critical thinking lesson for a teacher

      I love your thoughts! In the past, I’ve had students to analyze a poem of mine. I haven’t done this in my last two years of teaching. This may change. Thank you so much for the idea!✨✨

        Poems can be tricky for exams though with all the different interpretations.

        Yes! Have to stick to basic poetic devices or citing textual evidence. Sometimes the theme is easy to locate as well.
