This last week at Henry, we looked at Ayokunle Falomo’s “#BlackBoyJoy” poem. We learned about personification as a further expansion of metaphors and imagery. Check out some of our poems from this week!
Mrs. Siciliano’s 7th+8th Grade Class
Memories, Anonymous
My home is like a beach
Fun dances around you
yet it’s calming and warming.
My laughter is a photograph.
When you think of it,
memories flood back to your mind.
Allegria, Jhon Q.
Alegria basa en hagan
pero alegria basa en momento
Cuera cuando te caíste de las
escaleres pero ul lien ey al cabo tenmaste
niendato.
Basa de donde al yen y al cabo
terminándote, feliz nundole
Tom y Jerry
Esas sanescas que te pegabas
a ver Tom y Jerry
O hacer usas que disputabas a pesar
de todo.
La felicada se bosa en hunentuc y agmedo
cosas.
Nunca deles de neide
Laughter, Tamia P.
My laugh is fun and funny
My laugh is like full of joy
and smiles
My laughter is like composting.
My laugh is like a warm hug
on a sunny day.
Saya N
My laughter is a bumpy road going in all different directions
yet the same destination.
My smile is the sun that lights up people’s world.
