In Mrs. Robinson-Sanchez’s class, we read Matthew Olzmann’s “Mountain Dew Commercial Disguised as a Love Poem” in class and loved the specificity and humor! Many of us said that being so specific about someone you love was a way to really see them! We drew pictures of people we love to try to think through as many specific details as we could and then wrote them poems modeled after Olzmann’s. Students shared some beautiful things about their loved ones! Here are a few of our love poems:
My Little Sis
-Austin
Here’s what I’ve got for you my sister.
When we watch Spiderman and
I say Miles Morales you get
angry, when I pick you up after
school, you always wear your
special purple pink polka dot
shirt, when we get home
from school you always want
to play roblox murder mystery,
and when you lose you always
cry that’s why I love
you little sis.
Reasons Why I Miss You…
Reina
You bite me everytime we play but
I don’t mind. You’re always hungry
so I am I, you love chasing me
around the car, you always got me
laughing…our neighbor and my
siblings join the fun. We run away
from you we call it tag. We get on the
cars or go back inside everytime I see
you I see you smile I’m just glad you
were mine.
My Best Friend
–Jimena
Here’s what I got, you’re my best friend,
and the reason why because you’re always
making me laugh. You are always there for
me. Then we have done many stuff for me.
You too me to many places. And on my
Birthday. Then we are always hanging
with each other. But you are always
with me each second, every day and each
second in school. They will always
cheer me up when I’m sad. Or call me
when I’m bored and then play many scarey
games together. You make me smile
when you’re always with me and play
together. I really like your art,
which makes me wanna draw and paint just
like you. <3
Two Bestfriends
-Marwa
Both are different
but in a positive way.
A coincidence of both having
a two leap day birthday,
One is sugary, other is salty
But in the end, those two Bestfriends
are always lovable
for each other.
