Lesson Note: This week, we tried out persona poems. Everyone envisioned they were an object, place or person and wrote about how they would feel and what secrets they wanted to share!

From the View of the Bookshelf
By Fiona M.
I hold books, lots and lots of them
It’s what all bookshelves do
I love being helpful but…
I want credit for what I do!
I’m full of stories (literally), I hold books,
I’m helpful and I have never asked
for anything else!
You people use me more than you think.
I get bored after a while–now that
you know my point of view, what
do you think? Will you appreciate
me more?
Tree
by Daniel C.
Sometimes I go bald
And sometimes I get my hair back
I have a lot of toes
And my feet stick out
I don’t like the cold
I go through puberty a lot
But the truth is I’m tired of being in the same place
I see the brochures blowing in the wind
And there’s a place called Alaska?
I want to go there
I pull up my feet and toes and I’m on my way.
What it’s like to be a G.O.A.T.
By Jeremiah T.
People call me the dribbling and skill master
buy my pace is even faster
I won the World Cup in 20o2
with R9’s bad hair-doo
They said I partied a lot
but I eventually got bought
My defending was never really good
but it could never be good
but in the end I never
reached my true potential

My Dog
By Brenda J.
I feel love I use the bathroom
even where I am not
allowed to. I go out
and have fun. I love
chasing sticks and
love to be loud
and bark and eat anything I
find. I love my
life as a dog. But
I hate the vet.
Dog

Stay home
Play with my tale

The Happy Fork
Isabella G.
I’m a fork I love to help
my owner make food but
when they put me in there
the mouth is dark and I’m afraid
I’m always happy to help
and when they’re with me
I feel relaxed
I will tell you something
when all of the foks
are together we party around.
