A Lit Teacher's Valentine

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
If you don't do your homework,
I will surely han tum you.

Ms Yeo, excellent use of rhyme scheme! The allusions to botany is remarkable. I also love the way you evoke the senses though the mention of colours. Wonderful use of colloquialism to add a local flavour to the poem. I love it!

Your fan, Mrs Tan
