Today I call your attention to an inspiring story -- Mohamed al-Janahi is an engineer-turned-elementary-school-math-teacher who uses Arabic poetry to help students understand mathematical concepts. More of this story is found here, In Arabic, in this YouTube video, al-Janahi tells of his work.
And to add a bit of poetry in English, I offer a couple of stanzas of "Time" from my collection My Dance is Mathematics (now out of print but available online here).

The clock goes round —
showing time a circle
rather than a line.
Each year's return to spring
swirls time on time.
