What We Love

Last week, we focused on hobbies or activities that we love to do. Then, we created a poem using our senses to describe that activity.

Sketch
by Isabella Guerra

Sketching sounds like silence. 
All of the noise in my head goes away. 
Silence.
Sketching feels like I don't have to worry about anything else around me. 
I can just float into another world.
Sketching is a whiff of flowers in the spring with that touch of a fresh breeze.
Sketching is a glare of someone that doesn't have to act like something that they are not.
Sketching feels like the pencil in my hand has all of the ink to sketch me a thousand sketches.

Beach?
Sweat.
Sand?
Sweat.
Vacation?
Sweat.
Sun, swimming, camp?
Sweat. Heat.
Basketball? Lake?
SWEAT. HUMIDITY.

Fun?
Netflix!
Sleeping, relaxing!
Drinks, watermelon, smoothies!
STUPENDOUS!
Perfectly lazy.

Back to School
by Max Powers & Zach Rubin
6th Grade

Reading books in class
Walking to the bus
Student Council club
Homework paranoia
Portables are a prison
Rain is terrible
Birds chirp & bugs buzz
Test grades are on Pinnacle
Notebooks are too large
Sleep is my spirit

*******************
It's never too late to express yourself with words!
Join us at our next meeting
