Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important period in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鳴) with you. In the same way，you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students.

Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. Thus , it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this_common need of the human heart and soul.

As one of the oldest art forms，poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry，Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement，“With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”

School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves，their students and their staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry，techniques of poetry such as metaphors，repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication，create meaning and a culture of care and attention.

Since schools are mainly about people and relationships，school leaders，like poets，are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry－or even of some techniques of poetry－in school leadership not only helps to improve communication，but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.

Where was I? The room was dark and quiet. My head hurt really badly. I shouted, “Help! Help! Can anybody help me?”

After a while somebody came in. The room was so dark that I couldn’t see his face clearly. The man turned on the light and said with a sharp voice, “Ah! Sweetie, do you still remember who I am?” I was shocked. Oh, my God! I cried, “You are Michael Zey, the man I charged with murder! Why are you here? You should be in prison!”

“You never thought about the result of charging a gang（犯罪團伙） leader, did you? Because of you, I was in prison for 15 years. You ruined my life!” His voice was very cold. My face was pale with fear. He was here to take revenge（報復）!

“Please, let me go! Don't hurt me! Please!” I asked him. “Dr. Calment, you are smart enough to know it is impossible. Now, I give you two choices. One is shooting your head. It is the quickest way. The other is cremation（火葬）. Your husband and you will be together forever. It’s quite romantic. Don't you think?” He spoke angrily. “What? My husband? He is innocent!” I shouted at him.

Suddenly, he took hold of my head and said, “You will pay for what you have done to me.” He took out a gun from his bag.
