THFB Semi Finals Poem

Hi all,

I have written another poem and would like to share it as a blog post.

Here's some things about the poem:

As you all know, my friends and I are involved in Service Learning this year. Our project is called Touching Hearts, Forging Bonds and we are teaching P6's Math, Science and English Oral. That's the source of inspiration for this poem.

Last week, I chanced upon the idea of writing a poem for our Semi-Finals competition. The poem would encompass the methodology, service goal etc. of our project, as well as our uniqueness. We have a lot of exceptionality, so that was the most-emphasised one.

Well, almost all poems have a wide use of Poetic Devices. As this poem had to be simple to understand, as well as convey ideas effectively, I did not include any poetic devices apart from Rhyme, which would make my poem more interesting to read.

I hope you enjoy my poem. If you really like my poetry or want to give suggestions, please type in your comments or critism below. Even better. Subscribe to my blog! XD

Here it is!


School work’s hard, PSLE stress tough, feeling stressed lately?
Are you down, out, or just purely out of the blue?
Or has you having no friends made you feel emotional or lonely?
Then Touching Hearts, Forging Bonds is the tuition for you!

An innovative, unique and exhilarating experience awaits
For those who join us on our long tuition journey this year;
Because on our mind-enriching tuition programme we can’t wait
To enlighten those who want to listen and hear.

We pledge to be friendly instead of being like teachers
And we will not scold or lose our patience with you;
For we are just 14, 2 over the crucial PSLE year,
We know what PSLE is like for we have gone through.

Working hard we put your lessons and materials altogether
In the form of a workshop where there is fun and games;
All of us have time for Cultural Sharing and Bonding Time together
And also for goal settings where we set our targets and aims.

The tuition sessions are held in Assyakirin Mosque’s Facilities
Where we have prepared a conducive teaching environment;
The Math, Science and English Oral we teach is beyond boundaries
And our tuition will help you catch up with the other students.

Though we have much to cover in lessons we all guarantee fun
So that you guys will learn and cultivate interest in the topics we teach;
Don’t forget, we’ll accompany you later to play/do whatever you want
And help you getting your desired results within your reach.

We follow the MI in some of our Science and Math teachings
And you may have fun while learning at the same time here;
We train your English oral language skills with Cultural Sharing
Where we learn more about each other’s culture.

The tuition sessions have been a success until this time
And we have seen great improvements in your work;
So keep up the good work! And continue to shine
While we promise to continue in our meticulous efforts.
