🎭 Poetry invites us to pause, reflect, and connect—with ourselves, with others, & with the world. Can you match the poet with the poem?

I created a game made with @bookwidgets.bsky.social where the goal isn’t to win—it’s to feel calm.
🎲 Journey to Calm guides students through reflection, gratitude, kindness, & confidence—one gentle step at a time.

As a teacher, I’ve often been a lighthouse, guiding students & colleagues to safe harbor.

But now, maybe it’s enough to be the “check tire pressure” light—reminding people to pause, reflect, & take care of themselves.

What kind of light will you shine today? 🚨🌟
