Poetry Blog

I asked my students to write 10 lines of poetry for homework. After editing by the writing teacher, this is what they came up with:

#1 Friend

Sometimes in life

You will find a special friend

If you sometimes cry

They will make you smile

If you feel lonely

They will accompany you

If you can't find the way

They will guide you

If you have a friend like this

Please treasure them

#2 I Saw a Star Last Night

I Saw a star last night,

A beautiful star

A shining star

A glamourous star

I thought I love this star

I asked the star,

Do you like to be a star?

The star answered,

I am a star,

I can not choose what I will be

But I love being a star,

I asked the star,

Can you be my own star?

The star did not answer,

Because the star flew away,

I didn't feel sad,

I saw a star last night.

#3 Darkness

If the world falls into the darkness

I will never give up to find the light.

That way will be difficult.'

Maybe I can't remember the right street.

I believe faith still exists.

I can find the exit.

The other side is a beautiful world.

It is place I will be lost in the dark.

But in the darkness must adapt.

-Celeste

Pretty good, huh?
