Dever’s 13th week of poetry was one for the books! Ms. Sherfinski’s class worked on Ode poems creating odes that use simile, a comparison using “like” or “as”. Ms. Carteno’s classes learned about concrete poems, discussing imagery and and line again. Concrete poems use line to create shapes that resemble the poem’s theme.

Rises the Moon <3 Maxine B.

Billowing like smoke rises the moon
Dream, Dream, Dream, like a child
Days never end like fatigue

Seeming quiet like her smile
sweet as tea, run for many miles
Days never seem a tough trial

Billowing like smoke, rises the moon

My Sister Alejandra A.

My little sister is crazy like
a monkey
playing around.
sweet as a cupcake
Attitude like a boss
As smart as a teacher
She is my everything
And I love her

Untitled Eryk K.

When my dad says
there is pizza
smells fresh like
the outside
when I ask my
sister for help
she’s smart like
Albert Einstein
the lady I eat is sweeter
then my
sister
