Poetry Reflections

By: Sonny S.

    In the month or so, my class and I have been focusing on poetry. This was a unit we did in our Literature/Language Arts class. It was a really fun unit, and I have personally learned many things about poetry. I actually didn't know that there were so many different types of poetry, until we focused on this unit.

     In the poetry unit, we've read different types of poems and how they can affect people. Personally, poetry is really not my thing, but that's okay because poetry is not everyone's thing. It's really just a fun thing to learn. I've also learned that people don't really just, come up with these ideas to write a poem. They write poems because maybe they need to let it out. It's just a matter of experiences.

     I've actually really enjoyed this poetry unit, and I thought it was really fun to see and hear all this different poems, and learn all these other genres of poems. I will be honest, but I think that poetry was a good part of the year. I may not enjoy it as much as other people enjoy it, but I certainly enjoyed it. It was a good way to teach us on how experiences can affect peoples daily lives.

"Never-Ending Nightmares"

By: Sonny S.

     I think this poem to me symbolizes a nightmares. I think this because it felt like the darkness was consuming the women. "Frightening dreams... nightmares... daylight... not welcome." I honestly tried to make the poem as suspenseful as possible. And that's what I did.

Squirrel                                                              BOTH                                                                  Bone

I've been hunting for days,                                                                                    
trying to make a shelter

I've been stolen from home, and

can't find a way back

We fight for each-other

I'm lost in this open world

I'm trapped in this closed world

It's hard in the outside

I need a challenge on the inside

We're lost in the world

There are people here,

I was told to stay away

I was taught how to hunt,

and now I have to use it

Kidnapped and wounded

It's tough out here, not knowing

where to go

The stairs are my challenge,

but escaping is my destiny

We need to know where to go

Claustrophobic inside this place,

it feels like I can't breathe

There's too much space for me to

see

We need moderate, cant's have

too much, nor too little

They took my brother while I was

there

I hope my sister is alright,

I need to find her, need to fight

We worked together,

now apart

We must keep going, accept

our losses

I need to find him, I can't accept it

We are physically moving,

but not mentally

In the darkness, fear awaits

I can not do this, it's not my fate

But we need to just have as much faith

Hope

We keep moving

My life depends on my senses,

on my reflexes, on my skills

I get everything I need, empty and filled

I need a friend by my side

I need to run and just go hide

I have the courage and

determination

I can't find where my strength is

We keep moving forth

We try

We fail

We fly

We drown

We jump

We fall

We run

We walk

We live

We die

And it all comes back to us

All depends on us

Creates us

Creates out future

We try and fail, the only true

failure is when we stop trying...

try again

"Faith is Key"

By: Sonny S.

     This poem to me means that all people have control, are ancient people, we're artifacts. Sometime we go down and "out of control," but you just need "...a little faith... hope." Everyone can just be who they are. That's what I think of when I see this, be yourself.

3rd Quarter Reflections

Third Quarter Reflections

By: Sonny

     In the third quarter, I have done many things. Like... the big tests and everything like that. One of the big test is the test like the constitution. There were also other tests like PARCC and other smaller test. I mean it was a good quarter overall. I have been learning more and more throughout the way. Which I'm assuming that that is a good thing.

     I've learned many things that involved astronomy, which is probably the thing I like the most. I also like the thing we are doing in Social Studies. We are learning about the Presidents and how the Constitution is used today. This is actually a very interesting project. We are also doing a presentation on how we can change the Constitution.

     In my Lit./Language Arts class we have been doing the routine plan. The AoW's (Article of the Week) and the blogs. Blogs like this one here. We've also been doing poems. I find that poems are actually kind of interesting. These poem that we're doing are fun and other's can enjoy them. Which I can enjoy that.

"Just a Dream"

"Just a Dream"
by: Sonny
Inspired by "Road not Taken"

“Just a Dream”

That day I was tired, and I went to sleep:

The next day, I realized I had to make a choice

Stay in bed, or leave my warm, comfortable bed

I was disappointed when I made my decision

but I knew it was the right choice

I decided to get out of bed, because of school

Then, I got ready for school,

slid down the stairs on a mattress,

And left my warm and safe home,

my protection, from the open world

I was running from the thoughts that created regret,

I wanted to turn around and go back,

but I already made my decision,

And I realize now, I regret it

I had to live with it

I was expecting to be there on time,

but I wasn’t too sure

It felt like I was running in circles

I couldn’t stop because I would fall into a void,

Then I realized… that choice made all the difference
