Found Poems


The week before Winter Break we spent one class period making Found Poem posters to hang on the wall. The classroom looks very colorful!

Below are a few selected poems "written" by students in our class. Enjoy!

        "Someone Was Watching"

        They ran past their food.
        "If this is some kind of joke - "
        The room blurred and faded out.
        Piggy banks were opened.
        Maybe you think I was supposed to read your mind.
                                        - Kevin. W (per. 2)

     
        "The Moon's Full Silver"

        Outside, the rain dripped
        Shizuko wondered.
        In fact, the truth surpasses imagination
        but the sense of evil lingered.
        You shall be the wolf.
                                        - Andrea Z. (per. 1)

     
        "Virtue, Knowledge, and Ignorance"

        I am the wing.
        The delicious cool saved us from the heat above
        black as Black Beard's beard.
        Very, very ugly.
        They are awful berries.
                                       - Raymond T. (per. 1)

     
        "By the Midnight"

        Three years ago on a spring evening
        Seething, but not wanting to make a scene
        I put the sunglasses on.
        The window itself was different.
        Of all the bouncing balls, the football is the most predictable.
                                      - Patrick L. (per. 3)
