Online

Online courses
Are to classroom
Learning as online
Sex is to lovemaking.
Online teaching is a poor
Substitute for the miracle
That occurs in a classroom
We call learning which occurs
When a teacher and a student connect and a new perspective
Opens for both an event worthy
Of recognition but not going to
Happen online nearly as often
If at all but perhaps these
Online scholars will be
Motivated to grasp
The nettle and
To transcend
Paradigms
In a flash
Of new
Comprehension
All on their PC platform.
The race does not always go
To the swiftest or the
Strongest but that’s
Where I’m putting
My money on
A bet I’m
Likely
To win.
Regrettably
The student loses.
