This week in class we read “My earliest memory is telling myself stories without” by Diane Seuss and expanded on some of the history of poetic forms we started with odes. We discussed how to change the construction of a sonnet through corruption, the way Seuss does in her poem and students wrote their own corrupted sonnets focusing on including details related to the five senses. Please enjoy their work below.

Camping

I remember when I first went camping
We were very active the first day, and
everyone started cramping. I was stuck
in a knot, everyone tired and sleeping
on their cot. And when they woke up only
breakfast was their thought. It rained and the day
was nice so we biked the terrain. When we
got the food and brought it home the smell
alone had them out of bed as fast as
a dog fetching a bone
I walk in power already in my bones

I walk in power already in my bones
Already I know that for this I am alone
The voices calling for the ball
I know that soon they will all fall
I will have VICTORY
Though downfall leads
And I can do better
Free food for me

One time I was eating at my favorite
restaurant and so my parents said “guys
go in we will find a parking space.” And
so me and my siblings went the other way
and I went to wash my hands to get
ready to eat and I waited 30
minutes for my parents until the food was
served and I told the waitress I don’t have money
on me and she said it’s free so the moment
I touched the burger I heard loud sounds and
I tasted the best food I have ever had
and when I was done I left and waited
and waited until my parents came and
Let’s say it didn’t end well.

My memories
Sam S.
When I saw my school, it was amazing.
I felt like I would be here forever.
I have had a lot of memories here.
When I first got my cats and touched their fur
I felt so happy and relaxed with them.
When I felt myself cry for the first time
It made me very sad and not happy
When I tried steak I thought it was the best
It made me feel good inside and outside
When I smelled lilacs I felt relaxed.
They smelled amazing like very sweet bliss

Tiene el leopardo un abriso
en su monte seco y padro
yo tengo más que el lepardo
porque tengo un bien amigo
The first time I went to Serbia

The first time I went to Serbia
I drove my grandpa’s car in
the countryside while in
the countryside I got
to ride a lamb and
when I got on it kicked me off
and it hurt really… bad
