Poem #180

Yea!
Here's the last one, written by everyone in class over the last two days...

    Our   Lives

   Inside   our   hearts
   Blood   Family   Friends   Love
          Zion
   My   warm   covers   over   me
   The   ceiling   of   my   bedroom
   The   ball   I   throw   in   my   backyard
   Bright   white   clouds
   Light   blue   sky
   The   sizzling   atmosphere
   The   yellow   gleaming   sun
   The   Dark   Milky   Way


There it is! A year of poetry!
Thanks, everyone, for all of your readership and for all of your support. Have a wonderful summer!

    The   Seed

     I   am   a   seed
     Lonely   in   a    packet
     With   some   other
     Seeds    lonely
             sad
     I   had   always   wanted
     To   be   planted
     To   be   strong   healthy
     Roots   Petals
     Beautiful   and   Watered

     That   is   my
     Lifelong   dream

Thanks, James!

Poem #178

Here's one poem from Spencer, one from Sophie and one from Michael...

   Untitled

   Loud!
   So   loud!
   Race   cars   are   poems   without
   Any   words

Thanks, Spencer!


    Flowers

   Roses   are   red
   Violets   are   blue
   Big   red   dots   in
   The   middle   of
   You!

Thanks, Sophie! (she said the "big red dots" are our hearts)


  The   Light

   The   light
   Gazing   down
   At   the
   Earth
   Shinning   like
   A   blooming
   Sunflower
   At   me

Thanks, Michael!

Have a nice night, everyone!

Poem #176

Here's one from James...

   Moon

  Bright
  Full   moon
  Half   moon
  Why   is
  The   bright   moon   full
  At   night?
  Why   does
  The   moon
  Only   come
  Out   at   night?

  The   moon   is
  A   star

Thanks, James!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #174

Here's one from Carter...

   Lydia

  One   black
  Stripe   down
  Her   back
  It   is   a   bolt
  Of   lightning

  Her   eyes   look
  Like   flash
  Lights

  And   her   silky
  Fur   looks   like
  dirt
  Lydia

Thanks, Carter!

Have a nice night, everyone!
