New Word Poems: Chillepy…

What is a word you love to use, or a word that represents something about you? This was the question at the heart of this week’s discussion after we read the piece  “Hecky Naw” by Jose Olivarez. Students had some time to work on poems about a favorite or made-up word and there were definitely some interesting ones. Enjoy this week’s poets!

Esward JR 

 

A happy and a fun person 

A shy boy 

A caring boy towards family and friends 

Esward JR is a capricorn 

He was born on December 22 2007 

He lives in the hood with his dad 

Esward is out late at night 

Esward skips school sometimes 

He smokes with friends sometimes 

Esward JR likes to be out

Chilleepy 

Always so chill

And sleepy.

Chilleepy,

Laid back

In bed relaxed.

Chilleepy, 

So calm like sloths.

Chilleepy,

In the dark,

Listening to slow music.

Chilleepy,

Oh so very

Nonchalant. 

chilleepy.
