Greetings! Waters 7th graders have already had plenty of experience connecting the dots between poetry and visual art. continue that trend with concrete poems, which are poems that are shaped like a object or symbol that’s reflected in their poetry content 🙂 We read Marilyn Nelson’s “Fingers Remember” before students wrote their own concrete poems. Take a look below and enjoy.
“Diary” by Chloe S.
“Volleyball” by Aria M.
“Water” by Julia C.
“Stop and Start” by Oliver R.
My Jewelry by Avery W.
“Writing poetry makes me feel like I can see myself, like I can see my reflection, but not in a mirror, in the world. I write and I know I can be reflected.”
-Oscar S.
“Writing poetry makes me feel free.”
-Buenda D.
“Writing poetry is like your best friend.”
