Last Shot 99-97 Whistle Timeout New play My shot Will it Drop? Whistle blow Time to go Putting on a show Our ball Make them fall Cross them up In a knot Up with the shot There’s the clock Time stops Swish

The cool weather makes this poem more welcome than ever. Great work, Lucy!
The Seasons by Lucy H Winter Cold, Icy Snowing, Hailing, Temperatures falling Covered in frost Season of the cold Spring Colorful, Fresh Waking, Blooming, Warming up The vegetation is lush and healthy Season of budding Summer Warm, Sunny Sizzling, Steaming, Growing Baking in the sun Season of warmth Autumn Flame-colored, Cool Leaves falling, Colors fading, Winds blowing Orange leaves tumbling from trees Season of descent Here's another awesome poem about a problem gripping much of our nation. Nice work, Zeke! Forest's Fire Deep green woods Lush and pine, Windy weather, Howling gale Burning trees Red and smoke And assailing winds Forest’s fire No one should be afraid to go to school. Sadly, lives are lost every year because of gun violence. The first of these two submitted poems is a quick and heart-felt response to the issue of violence on American school campuses. Be aware that some may find the images upsetting.
And don't worry, there's a much less intense poem right after it. This poem was submitted by an anonymous 7th grader in order to capture the unique challenges of surviving middle school. Nice use of rhyme and repetition for a solid finish. What do you think about it? School Down the slick halls, Gossip fills people’s mind, Yet you're still intact, think you know, but in fact, your expectations, are not reality. They don’t reply, you wonder why, then you feel, completely dead inside, reality isn’t fair. but neither are your expectations. |
