For our second to last week, the students at Sayre focused on writing poems with metaphor about their fears–physical and abstract.

Bee is a yellow stinger.
Snake is long fanged.
I’m afraid of bees because
they sting. It’s a shooting pain.
Death
by Jake T.
Who knows what’s on the other side?
A black void.
A shiny place called heaven.
Waking up?
Who knows how you will die?
Stabbed by someone.
Burned in a fire.
Snapped out of reality?
Who knows when you can die?
Tomorrow.
A week.
Today?
Fears
by Aaliyah M.
Rollercoaster
track of horror screams
centipedes
weird bug
with trillions of legs
Elevator
if not running properly
dropping quickly back down
Weapons
threatening item
a life to be taken away
Poisoning
weird feeling
cause of dizzyness
and death
Fear
by Cora Q.
Death is a big dark hole that never stops
Burned alive is a victim of murder
Seaweed is an ugly big blobfish
A shark is a big submarine coming to kill
A spiders is a big dark thing that climbs on you in your sleep.
Deep Trauma
by Kyle S.
Fear is being scared, afraid, worried
of the dangers in your society–
death, gun violence.
