Here is a sample of the new additions that we hope to add to the blog! This poem and many more tutor creations such as short stories, videos, and photography will become new entries to the blog to showcase the creations of NCVPS tutors and incorporate more multimedia elements to the blog.
Frost

A warm hand touches the cold glass,
Frost
by Natalie M.
A warm hand touches the cold glass,
A smile drawn from the condensation,
Secret messages on the school bus window.
The little boy grins at his creation,
Eager for the day ahead,
Only yet beginning his journey.
At a stop sign with her foot on the brake,
The burden of her future challenges her past,
And she can’t help but fear what lies ahead.
Warm breath puffing from her lips,
The ghost of a smile long since departed,
Hoping for a greater promise.
The shadow of a frown has begun,
The darkness pulling her lips,
The doubt pulling her heart.
Her eyes watch but do not see,
The landscape shifts but does not move.
The last gleam of light is almost gone.
Only there is a hand pulling her back,
Guiding her across the void,
The corners of her mouth turning toward the sky.
The happiness of her youth has briefly returned,
Simply cast,
By the smile drawn on the school bus window.
Natalie M. has painted a moving picture with her beautiful, poignant poem - you have put into words a moment that may have happened many years ago for some of us, and may have forgotten. Lovely to know that our tutors are so talented!
ReplyDeleteI love the creativity and critical thinking that was obviously used to develop this poem, and the fact that the comment section for this blog allows us as online teachers and online students allows us to collaborate to continue improving the way that we serve our students.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is deep! It could be interpreted in different ways. At first, I thought it was about a parents or persons recollection of a bus ride. But then I was taken by the possibility of an accident, and a life being saved. At any rate I enjoyed the poem and it was thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what this student did! I like the idea of showcasing student work here as a way to honor their dedication to Tutor Talk. Great job, Natalie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem. I think it is a wonderful idea to showcase and incorporate more work of our students and tutors.

ReplyDeleteThis type of blog commenting can be a great connection point for us as online teachers with our students in our online community, so it is appreciated that we can go down this route, especially with such talent available...
It is wonderful to display student work for the world to see. This is not only encouraging to the student that creates the piece, but for struggling students to see what practice and hard work can accomplish.
ReplyDeleteDisplaying the work of tutors is a great way to show them as more than instructional aids. They are helping with a subject because they enjoy it and want to help others. This demonstrates their creativity and passion in addition to their normal duties.
