It All Started With A Pentagon
Souvenir from my first teaching year
Set up strict boundaries
With a pen and a ruler
Everything should be equal
And inside your control
***
Get to know their faces
Get to know their names and their features
Team them up
By similarities and differences
***
Go back to those straight lines
And colour them
Integrate them softly
They all piece up perfectly
***
Smooth the angles
Create windows
Don’t be afraid to lose control
You will… but colours won’t be erased
***
Get to know their sides
Their backgrounds and their personal stories
Let them know you
Let them be part of this story of yours
***
Acknowledge their fears and their challenges
And put them aside
Play with them
Let them enjoy shapes and colours
***
Later. Later. You can work on straight lines and angles
