Poetry+2014-1015

The following poems will be entered in the Creative Communications Poetry Contest in April for possibly being published. Good luck to all! Each student had a different picture to look at. The pictures were of window and doors taken by Mrs. Clegg during vacations in Europe.

































= = =To My Children= Susan Jack Cooper 1/12/15

My children are my children, But you are my children, too. My own are grown and far away, And some days, I am blue.

However, when I come to school, I enjoy your smiling faces. I know it’s where I’m supposed to be To see you in your places.

With every year I get to know You children in my classes, And we will both be so surprised How fast the school year passes.

I learn so much while I’m with you Even though you think I teach. I only lead you on your way To see how far you reach.

I'm impressed with all the writing Open Mike has shown so far. You've helped my new ideas grow By showing how creative you are.

Each one of you has special talents I will help you to explore, And watch you grow throughout the year Before you leave my door.

Being with you helps me feel young As the years are starting to flee, So I thank you, all my children, For spending your time with me.
