Lemov’s Warm/Strict

A prime example of
authoritative and warmth,

demands and warmth,
hurt and warmth;

but low levels of warmth,
tepid warmth,

not doing many amounts
of warmth:

strictly, this is a flexible
approximation of warmth.

This is a technique
by words,

this balancing,
this equilibrium,

this strict/
this warm –

warm/strict
wavering on

technicalities of
their words.
