All righty my poetic pals - These seventh graders will be checking to see how you liked their work....


~Sara T~
Grey clouds above like
Nina's wool sweaters hugging
the world tight with love

~Colin~
The cold winds blow hard
I sit inside and shiver
My feet feel like ice

~Brittany~
The ocean rumbles
It is endless miles of sea
So mysterious

~Shannon~
A place of laughter
And a place where joy is known
Walk in a forest

~Molly~
The dark starry night
The moon's light shining brightly
Upon the silent city

~Jana~
Soft night melody
Tapping at my window pane
I slip into sleep

~Ashley~
All stars above me
And all the world around me
Keep me safe from harm

~Caitlin~
Frozen lake like a
Mirror reflecting my face
Brings everyone joy

~no name~
The wind is howling
So hard now it bends the trees
See the aftermath

~Sarah~
The grass is lime green
The sky is sapphire blue
Colors fill the world

~Grace~
The trees are all green
the water is crystal clean
Mother Nature IS

~Jaime~
A storm is coming
The wind is awfully strong
It will soon be hear

~Dominique~
The wind is blowing
Red and orange leaves falling
The winter is near

~Chelsie~
The forest is cool
There are trees all around me
Quiet surrounds me


Next I'll have them doing sonnets......

Wow...Nan, I can't help but wonder how I might have turned out had you been my 7th grade teacher.

Forget the sonnets...let's see some lyric odes!!!

These are GREAT!
I read them all twice, and just basked in the beauty here! I think I have just become a big fan of Haiku

Nan, keep posting their work! WOW!

Great job, guys! You're one up on me, I ducked out of Nan's Haiku workshop (Don't tell on me now, I'll make up for it in the next one. )

oh, and pay no mind to Alicat..I don't even know what a lyric ode is (yet) and I'm a 27 year old freshman in college. hee hee
Keep up the great work!!!

It amazes me that with such fine young minds to work with, that you bother with the lot of us at all, Nan. Beautiful thoughts from fine young poets and poetesses.

*clap clap clap* I think I am going to stop writing now I have just been shown up by every single one of ya'all!

Nan, You have some very talented students, and darnit I wish you were my 7th grade teacher LoL. I hope they are all encouraged to keep writing, who knows, maybe one of them can be the Poe of the new millenium

Again, great job all of you!

They are all good. I especially like Shannon's forest poem, with its paralleling first and second lines and the resolution in the third line.  I too am fond of the woods.
I could also say that I wish you were my seventh grade English teacher, except that I know that I didn't appreciate the ones I had.  And you wouldn't deserve a student like me.
