Poetry Feels Like Letters Dancing in the Sky –– Ars Poetica @ Darwin

This week the students wrote their very own Ars Poetica . Now quite a few weeks into their residency, its time for these poets to let us know what poetry is for them!

2nd Grade

Poetry = Life by Ivan V.

Poetry feels like a song
of a connection the song is
that one man could change
the world. It is poetry.

Poetry Around by Aquetzilli V.

Poetry feels like a balloon flying in the sky
Poetry feels like the wind is blowing back and forth
Poetry feels like you are in love
Poetry is like getting presents
Poetry is like a friend with friendship

Future by Sean P.

Poetry is like music
and crazy words
and, and, like
a picnic full of
words. Poetry is
future and words
making a song of
words and sunshine

Poetry by Dylan D.

Poetry is like a raindrop falling from the sky
Poetry is like a ghost with no eye
Poetry is like a magic eye
Poetry feels like a ghost
Poetry feels like a candlelight lit with love
Poetry feels like the heart of light
Poetry is like a robot missing a screw
Poetry is like a diamond in the ocean
Poetry is like a galaxy with no stars
Poetry is my heart
Poetry is art

Poesia by Leanne O.

Poetry feels like letters dancing in the sky.
Poetry is a paper plane flying.
Poetry is like a sunshine.
Poetry feels like you’re having a picnic.
Poetry is like a castle.
Poetry feels like a playhouse.
Poetry is like a glitter in the sky.
