Hello @bigabigail, after carefully reading your poem, I have allowed myself to analyze it and give you my impressions about it:
I totally subscribe to the message you want to give with this thoughtful poem, without a doubt there is no better teacher than a mistake.
This poem explores the idea that mistakes are necessary in learning and personal growth. The author reflects on how mistakes can be seen in different contexts: as simple blunders, as something that is accompanied by negative consequences, as unpaid debts and also as a teacher in disguise. The poet suggests that mistakes are friends, not adversaries, and that they are necessary to discover, realize, gain experiences, find answers and grow.
In my opinion, this poem is a great reflection on how we should embrace our mistakes and see them as opportunities for learning and growth, rather than fearing them. Therefore, I think the author is right in stating that mistakes are a teacher in disguise, as we often learn more from our mistakes than from our successes.
I enjoyed reading you, thank you for sharing quality poetry.
Best regards.
