30 something English teacher

The blog of a 30 something ESL teacher. It might not at first seem rational - but it is.

Friday

Viewed from the swimming pool

 Grey river flowing by
Reflects the grey-blue sky above.
Green frog in long grass below
Hides easily from potential foe.
Bright butterfly, brilliantly coloured
Stands out against green and yellow flowers.
The pleasure seekers delight in contrast
The survivors in conformation.
The brown poet in turquoise swimming pool
Only his blue shorts conform.

About this blog

This blog was originally supposed to be A Year in the Life of a TEFL Teacher. I was going to go to Thailand, have a good time, keep a diary and - 12 months later, I would have a book. So I did – but there was little to do with TEFL teaching in it. Instead, Thai girls with all their exotic beauty, sexuality and deception hijacked it and were the main subject. Well, guess you could say it was partly/mostly my own fault... But who cares? It is the journey, not the destination that counts…

Several years later and finances have forced me back to the UK. This blog has continued to follow my attempts at teaching English as a second language here and also to preview my first novel Nowhere Children Inc.
