Poetry Slideshow By Mrs. Sullivan Period 1

Cats (A Part of Speech Poem) The cat Black, hairy Hisses, stares, claws Frightening, alarmed, curious, troubled.

Young Again ( I remember poem) I remember playing checkers with my best friend under the porch awning on a rainy day. I remember jumping “double dutch” while chanting jump rope rhymes. I remember sweetly singing along to old favories while Mom strummed the chords of the guitar beside me. I remember hearing the delightful sound of the ice cream truck, anticipation and excitement growing. I remember holding my dog tight as I lay in bed crying over what seemed so big then, but is so little now.

Ha-Ha-Ouch! (A Verb Poem) My Grandpa laughs loudly. He smiles, Jiggles, and claps his hands. Suddenly, a loud crash booms as he hits the floor. Humor can be dangerous!

Frog (A Haiku) Green and speckled legs, Hop on logs and lily pads Splash in cool water.

Team (free verse) together a promising union sharing a mysterious journey breathing, thinking, laughing all in one cavernous, welcoming, safe space a haven of caring, committed, noble adults mixed with lively, creative, hopeful youth only to move on to the next destination as the clock creeps its hands to the next hour no moment ever matching another yet molding the future with each passing day
