The Be A Writer class walked to the Warren County Public Library to participate in a poetry writing exercise – writing “Book Spine Poetry.” The challenge was to place book titles together in order to form a poem, consisting of at least 7 lines. Our students rose to the challenge and created some unique poetry using this technique. Below are some samples of their work:
“Winter”
By: Anna, Rachana, Rita, and Kami
Whoosh went the wind
Over the river
Let it snow
The smallest snowflake
The Christmas Hope
Waiting for the Evening star
The secret to freedom
Some Kind of Fairytale
Life without summer
And the good brown earth
Snow.
Winter.
“Summer”
By: Anna, Rachana, Rita, and Kami
Summer
Endless
Time of My Life
Seasons of tomorrow
Burn Bright,
The sun,
The secret to freedom

Darkness Blames Her
Dead is Just a Rumor

The testimony
Until I die

A small brown dog with a wet pink nose
The fox went out on a chilly night
Where did bunny go

Preschool to the rescue
