How do kids learn something new?
They work with what they know.
When novelty is theirs to view,
it's then their interests glow.
.
For every child a different flame;
from different sparks ignited.
When play's the thing, work's a game,
and kids will get excited.
.
So fire them up with hot debate,
challenge them to think,
just enough to incubate,
knowledge at its brink...
.
Turn up the temperature; things will churn.
Make steam from water so the wheels can turn.
.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
