I ode you this.

The 7th grade poets from West Park Academy learned about the “Ode” poem. After much discussion about the things they admire, are grateful for, and generally love, they were asked to dedicate a poem to that person/thing. What, or who, do you think the 7th graders dedicated their poems to!?

 

Ode to my Phone

Zaniah C.

 

Phone, you make me happy

You make me feel …safe

You light up brighter than the sun

You make me feel like I have a real friend

 

Ode to tiktok

Jayda N.

 

Tiktok you are the greatest

You’re like a lifesaver

You’re like a diamond because you shine bright

You’re as funny as a clown

 

Ode to Mom

Jadis D.

 

Mom you are the best

You gave me life and a place to sleep

And you bring joy to my life

You are like an angel

Tech o’ Tech

 

You’re the only thing I play when I’m bored

When I play with you my heart is beating

I play with you all day

You’re the only thing that makes me live

 

Thank You.

Yarelis A.

 

Thank you mom for everything

You are always with me

You are the one who gave me life

And you are my best friend

You are the best mom in the world
