Out of School and into Summer Poems!

Greetings West Park poetry friends and followers! During our final meeting together, students celebrated their work by sharing poems out loud with their peers and teachers.

Please help us celebrate students’ work by looking back through all of the poems that have been published this spring!

These final poems are a sampling of all the different themes and topics we wrote about throughout this residency, with a wish to send us out of the school year and into the summer!

On my way to the beauty supply shop Alondra A.

Ring ring sounds my phone
Walk out the door turn left
Walk straight
The light is green
Make a right
The shop is here
Says the map
Blow blow the wind blows whoosh whoosh
Din don sounds the door
Hello how can I help you today?

Eat the very green bright grass
Touch the fresh air
Don’t look at the blue sky
You will not see the big scary place

Japan Jaylah V.

first go on your computer and go on an airplane ticket website
buy a ticket to japan and start packing your bags to go to the airport
then go to your car and put your bags in the car then start driving to the airport
once you’re at the airport take your bags and go check them in then take a seat in the airport
then go on the plane to japan and wait 8 hours until the plane gets to japan

going to the pool Julian L.

Come home from school
We’re going to the pool

You need to walk like three blocks
Look out for the cops

Then you would make a right
Then you should see a big light

Me and my friends at the school late at night

My soul Estrella G.

Music is my soul,
It beats as strong as a heart beat,
It flows through my blood,
When I listen to music
I go into another world

Music tells my mood
If I am sad I listen to indie
If happy I listen to pop music
Or any other music in my playlist

Basketball Shark T.

Basketball is my medicine
every time I play
I feel lots better

When you play you
forget about everything
else, and just think
about basketball

You can learn everyday
you play, you just get
better, not worse
