Naughty teacher, naughty.



Picking Up Pieces

Naughty teacher. Creeps.
on April 27, 2024








Grade school

Teacher he was.

Mr. Brad.

Came from small-town midwest.

Fifth level

Handled most subjects

Xcepting intro physics

Civics, phys ed.

Staff seven years.

Popular and sorta hip.

Children enjoyed.



Habit formed

Pulling one girl

Troubled truant

Or puberty haunted.

Comfort session privately.

Twinkle to the eye.



Stroking repeatedly

Her forearm.

Almost trance-like

For the child

And confusing

Down there.



Anything wrong here?

Who knows fershur?



Local newspaper

Held articles about

Missing females

Back alley dead.

Mutilated.

And in our fair city?

    Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking poem! The imagery and emotions it evokes really leave an impact. The themes of innocence, manipulation, and darkness are intricately woven together in a way that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish.

    One improvement suggestion would be to provide more context or background information to help the reader fully grasp the story being told. Some additional details or descriptions could enhance the reader's understanding and connection to the characters and events portrayed in the poem.

    Overall, the poem is a gripping and compelling piece that definitely leaves a lasting impression. Keep up the great work!
