Students read Nayyiryh Waheed’s poem “fresh” and wrote about what it means to be on the way or almost to something —maybe a goal, maybe an event— and what we might think about to prepare ourselves. We talked about thought about both what hasn’t happened, and the unknown. These are both creative and deeply philosophical poems! Check them out!

This poem made me feel like i belong
Daylight makes me happy
Everytime i feel sad i let it out
Everytime i feel angry i let it out
I try to be the happiest person I can be.

This poem reminds me of change
It takes time to change
Your feelings change
So does everything

Garden of Flower’s
Aiden G
Feeling are like flowers so give them time to bloom
Think of a whole garden of flowers yet so soon ..
Flower petals fall when there’s no faith inside you ,
It’s time to start caring I have hope inside you

Almost the End of School
Evelyn V
Almost everything you see is close to being there.
Maybe it’s someone about to finish a mile long walk,
Or someone almost to their house
But if you think about it,
YOU’RE almost close to everything,
Whether it’s spring break, the end of school, or almost time for recess.
So don’t feel defeated,
School’s almost over.
Just deal with it until June 7th .

Almost to the End
Where this feeling Stops
But when i am there
I am at the Top
I hope i will never feel this again
But thank God i am at the end
-Wait a little bit

¨Patience Is Key¨
Juan A
There are dreams I want to achieve,
But I haven’t yet.
There is always deep feelings behind the scenes,
I haven’t felt it yet.
I want to go pro,
But I haven’t yet.
All these mixed emotions,
I haven’t felt it yet.
There are things I haven’t felt,
But I will soon.
Just be patient,
And everything will come in a nice and fun tune.

Almost that time
Rebecca H
Almost
The nice weather
Beach time
Shorts
Ice cream
Staying up
Late
Summer
Almost that time of the year
Beautiful flowers
Start blooming
Nice bright colors
It is almost time to be me

Summer
Adamaris H
Almost summer.
Almost able to wear
shorts and feel free.
So many things to explore and do.
The many feelings that I haven’t had yet.
Almost summer.
Almost able to feel
the warm breeze.
Soon the flowers will bloom.
Almost summer.
Almost here.

FRESH DAYS
Ladon M.
Somethings are fresh
But
They won’t be as fresh as
New Days

Almost
Elizabeth P
How far is almost
How close is almost
How long is almost
How short is almost
Almost is neither here nor not
Almost makes me think

What’s There?
Alejandro M
There is a location or place.
Used daily, both verbally and physically
But makes people feel couriers
Wondering what their
Talking about.
There, location or place
What’s there for you?
Is it a location, place, or area?
There could be an unknown.
To many including you.

Think
Bella E
Life is something to express
Not sitting down and being depressed
You must give yourself time to shine
So you can prove the happiness if your eyes
But the time is not near
So just sit back and think clear
Cause no matter what, patience is always there to reappear.
