Opinions on thank you poem for teacher?

Hey guys,

I'm graduating this year so I thought I'd write a poem for my teachers...opinions appreciated :P thanks...

To My Teacher

Like a leaf, trembling and unsure

I have dangled from my tree too long

Looking to the horizon, watching,

Wondering, questioning as the sun set

On every day, taking with it a

Missed adventure

But you, my dear teacher, have

Unleashed me, released me from

My stubborn clutch on my branch

And like a gentle breeze, carried me off

To lands far away

Until finally, I landed on a soft hill

Lighted with the day's hopeful rays

And decided to start my own life

Somewhere different, Somewhere new

And though, now,

I have undertaken this new journey on my own

I will always remember my initiation,

My beginning,

And forever recall that Chapter One begins with

my teacher.

    You need a little more punctuation, i.e. put a comma after the second line and a period after adventure. A sentence is still a sentence even in a poem. Also the second to the last line should be "began" not "begins". Other than those suggestions, it is a very good poem.

    My feedback:

    This is excellant

    if I was your teacher you

    would have gotten an A+

    Teacher poem

    Teachers they work hard

    making sure you learn what you need to

    trying to teach students right from wrong

    Always busy with my homework long hours

    of correcting,

    Chapter 1 may start with the teacher

    but even after you graduate you will still be learning.

    Listening to my problems over the years.

    Source(s): That is an awesome poem I would give this to him or her or you can read this either way the teacher should blush.
