I love the energy that Shoesmith 4th graders bring to our poetry workshops each week! They always seem open to new ideas, ready to think, and eager to tap into their creativity. If we had more time together, there would be more opportunities for students to write and for me to select 3-4 poems to publish each week. I want each student to have at least one poem published before the residency’s end, so I am showcasing quite a few of the great Dream Poems that students wrote last week. Enjoy!

Positive Dreams

I dream of being an NFL
player. I fill my mind up
with challenging goals
I dream about being a
millionaire. I wish December 9th
was everyday
Nobody is able to take my
goal away. Dreams can be
illusions that come true
I dream of Heaven, and the
fluffy clouds. I dream of
touching God’s hand.
I am blessed every morning
for being the human I am.

My Dreams
by Ka’layla D.
I dream of being in the NBA,
I try to make a 3-pointer,
My brain is cluttered with basketball
players, I dream of dunking
When I dream I feel cozy
I feel safe
I feel relieved, happy, important, and
free
I need to dream because I will
feel left out, and hurting inside
if I don’t dream.
The day of my daydream
By Alaijah S.
I always daydream of having
100 days
Sometimes I can’t get out of my dreams
And sometimes I cry in my daydream
I show a lot of emotions in my
dreams
I always dream that we
don’t have school on Mondays
and I wish I had a lot of
money

My heart will always forgive you but
let my soul get time.
