Hello!

In class, we’ve  started a new unit of poetry. We all have adapted quickly, and are discovering our inner poets. I’ve read a few, and our class is really doing well. I have a few poems of mine that I’d like to share:

Bad Poems

 Bad poems

are just words

tied into a knot

waiting to be untied.

People think they

become useless when they get a knot

So they throw them away.

But when you get a knot

in your shoelaces

do you just throw them away?

This poem was inspired by one of my classmates (You know who you are) who was always telling me that his poems are bad and tears them apart. I thought that I’d give him some inspiration to keep writing. There are really no bad poems, sometimes they just get a loose knot.

A reflection

Splat

Straight on the cement floor.

Such a common thing

though not many people know

that it’s magic

can cause

a rainbow?

This was my first poem, which I am actually quite proud of. When I wrote it, it was a drizzly day, and I had my topic. Then I thought; I can’t wait for the rainbow! Then the poem practically slapped me in the face and told me to write it down. So I did.

Thank you for reading!
