"November" by Tyler L.

November
Eleventh month of the year
Bare skeleton trees dancing in the wind
Mushy pumpkins on the step
Thanksgiving and turkeys near
Curling smoke in the air
November

"Merrowvista" by Tyler L.

The long dusty road that led to fun
Was a winding one under the sun
Once there we got our group
With really nice leaders to boot

The first day there we climbed the wedge
Later on we found the cabins
And learned the dinner route

Day two was fun with an option block
Up the mountain we went for a walk
Breathtaking views at the top

We did team building on the elements
They were very hard
Involvement was key
Now we were on to day three

Up nice and early ready for fun
Off to build bridges
Blindfolded none the less

Bus rides away back to school
Merrowvista was very cool.

Poem by Sam W.

The Last Supper before I go to bed

A Starry, Starry Night above my head

Pearl Earring clutched in my hand

I sneak out to the Café Terrace at Night, across the land

A Scream in the dark, the sound of a fight

Campbell’s Soup spilled in the fright

American Goths surround me

But a Blue Boy comes and sets me free

I Gogh back home

And paint a picture.

A Truly Inspiring Poem by Andrew V., Tommy S., and Jack B.

"American Dream"

I'm livin' the American Dream

For my new life I don't gotta redeem

My old life stunk

It was like a big bad scheme

As I was staring into the steam

I saw the never-ending American Dream

Thank you Jack, Tommy, and Andrew for providing us with this expressively evocative example of the immigrant standpoint, as it is such a prevalent part of our local, national, and worldwide culture today. We appreciate your awareness and appreciation.

Poem by Sophie J.

My family glows brilliantly.
Cheerful smiles radiate on
magnificent love.
Delicious care provides
stunning support.
Warm hugs and kisses enrich
my heart.
Like the sparkling starry sky,
my family shimmers,
with care.
