Week 2 – Moos Elementary
This week we looked at Frank O’Hara’s “A True Account of Talking to the Sun at Fire Island.” In it, Frank has a conversation with the sun where the sun tell Frank not to worry about anything, just keep writing. I had the students list some inanimate objects (some of my favorites they listed were “Colorado,” “egg shells,” and “my blood.”) Then they were to write poems where an inanimate object taught THEM something, to piggy back off the week before where they taught someone else something.

“PS3”
by Angel
“Hey Angel, pick up my controllers and play!”
“I can’t, I have school.”
“Well too bad! I wait here all day and your dad unplugs me.
It’s like I die for six hours!
Then you come and do your homework?”
“My dad said if I don’t get good grades he’ll throw you away!”
“Well looks like oh well for me then.”
I came back then the PS3 jumped on me
“You got money so you’re getting jacked!”
“Wait I have no homework.”
“Oh. So play some games then.”
I set my bookbag down and played
The End.

“My Nintendo DSi”
by Rosy Munoz
I was done with everything, I don’t know what to do but then I heard a noise. I knew who it was. I followed the voice, it led me in my closet and there I found my old Nintendo DSi. He told me, “Come on, play with me it’s been a long time.” I picked him up and started playing but then he confused me when I was in a hard level. I said, “How do you even know how to talk?” he said “It’s not my fault, it’s your fault for leaving me.” I said, “That’s why I left you in the closet.” His last word was, “I’m sorry for bothering you Lazy donkey! So I’ll be quiet.” I said, “Good piece of metal.” But then he said, “But I’ll get bored so I’ll just talk!” Ahhh!!!
