Last week, Sayre’s 8th graders took a detour from their ick poems to write about people and things that they love. After watching Rudy Fransisco’s performance of “If I Was A Love Poet,” students talked about the similes they observed. We then moved on to writing our own poems. Check out a few of them below:
Love
by Ariana A.
Love is like a kite being
flown in the wind. When you
try to go straight it just flies in different directions.
Love is scary and exciting like a roller coster…
it goes up, down
left then right. So many times…
And sometimes love hurts as much
as breaking a bone. Your heart shatters but never truly repairs.
No matter how much time goes by
days, weeks, months and even years, your heart is never free…
longing for that Person… not caring about your own feelings but
theirs instead…
Love is Like…
by Alyssa P.
Love is like a game
You win and sometimes you lose
If you decide to go back to the game
its still going to be the some, nothing has changed
Maybe you decide to go to a different game
But its not going to be the same
Love is like a roller coaster
you have your favorite ride
You keep getting on everytime
But one day you get tired
love is like fake money
easy to be ripped
but hard to be put back together
My Love For Fortnite
by Evan A.
My love for Fortnite is as big as the Fortnite map.
Fortnite makes my heart rush like being the last person alive.
Fortnite makes me happy like getting a win.
Fortnite makes me sad as when I lose a game with good loop.
Fortnite makes me feel all emotions but I love Fortnite.
The Boxing Gym
by Itzel R.
Wake up today or tomorrow
it is always going to be boxing
If someone asks what is my favorite sport is?
it is always going to be boxing
if had to choose between basketball or boxing
The boxing gym is like home,
with silence in my ears,
with peaceful things around me,
with peaceful people around me,
with friends to talk to,
I enjoy the gym with
passion all around me.
Tink
by Kyle S.
From the time we saw each other we knew
we would be together. You and me strong like glue.
I love your sneeze. Ohcheooooo! When we kiss I
feel something inside me that I never felt before.
You are my everything, thoughts of a wedding ring,
be my wife, make me your husband and you my wife.
Start a family with me. We are so good together,
like cheese on bread.
