Mrs. Squires: Poem Analysis

165 Words1 Pages
In elementary school I had a fifth grade math teacher named Mrs. Squires, I may never forget her! She was rewarding, kind, hard and intense. All of the students in my class had no choice but to love and respect her. Mrs. Squires was an uncommon math teacher, she'd write a poem and the author's name on the old white board in the back of the classroom every Monday morning. She warned us that writing and reciting the poem on Monday mornings accounted for 50% of our final grade. I am positive Mrs. Squires loved poetry because, one day she wrote a beautiful poem on the board. The poem was called "believe" and it was written by her. I never stopped reciting the poem, even to this day I still say it to crowds or to myself for a little endearment.
