“Unique in its own way” Poetry Reflection and Centos with South Loop Poetry Club!

Last week at poetry club, we finished up our unit on poetic forms and took some time to reflect on our work in the past few weeks. Then we used lines from our previous poems to make a cento. Even though we had a small class, we made some beautiful poetry together and were able to take our poems home. Please enjoy these poems from South Loop Poetry Club!

Mix Whitman G.

I feel free
Squirrels favorite snack
I eat my greens and burp often
Moon is very bright
Full of nature
I hear wolves howling at me
Unique in its own way

Flower, tree Mia P.

Dirt gets between the
bottom of my shoes

Fields full of lilies

Little golden clouds

Winter trunk of the
fig tree

In the daytime
they flourish

I hear a sound
and dance around

wry quips given significance
by their spotlighting.

Unknown Person Morgan F.

I am a dog
must be taken from pre-existing text
Always has my back
She is Emo
Bugs should be loved, yes!
she is Dark
