MY BROTHERS
The best ever
The cutest kids
Dreadfully cool
The evil carnivals
Fun to be with
So good to me
Hero’s for me
Sometimes idiots
Best jokers around
Kind when I’m feeling down
Very loving to me
That is why I love you
You are my brothers

A girl is a princess
when she takes her throne
To be a proper one, She
needs her crown with
elegant dress.
With her HUGE castle
to make a feast
inside her dining room
with her beautiful room decor
and wall paper that
is gold...Beautiful gold.
and her bed with a warm
cover painted with dolphins
and her huge closet to
keep all her clothes inside
If you want to be a
princess, all you have
to do is believe in
the
magic

Thank You poem - Sliding down the Slides
Hi everyone this is my thank you poem for my mom. It isn't excactly a "thank you" poem it's more like something that is important to me. Please comment!
Sliding Down the Slides
When I was
1 and a ½
years old
you used to take me to the playground
I
of course
don’t remember these
memories
but from you telling me
I can even
picture
the stuff that we did there
at the playground
in my head
we had so much fun
together
you chasing me
me running away
and laughing
sliding down slides
me
first afraid
but after getting used to them
sliding down all the time
with a smile on my face
in the sandbox
according to me
I “wasn’t allowed” to
get dirty
and if I would
get dirty
I would get out and rub off
every single grain of sand or dirt
that was on my foot
sometimes
I remember
all of these things
that we did
at the park
they always put a smile on my face
just wanted to tell you
that when these things come to my head
I remember
that you were there
at the park
with me
every time

Thanks and more...
Dear students and parents of grade six,
Thank you for all of the cards, gifts and good-wishes for term one and for our upcoming trip to Israel. Thank you also for an outstanding first term. Your dedication, work and growth is inspirational, and I look forward to continuing our journey together in January.
Over the break:
1. Keep reading and writing
2. Prepare your chosen work for our book binding in January
3. Start thinking about and preparing for the "Kids Write" program (ask Marc Levin if you have any questions about this), and for the JCC speech competition. These are both optional, but very worthy activities that I strongly encourage you to participate in.
Please keep in touch with each other and with me through this Blog. Your words of encouragement on each others' writing has been wonderful.
You can also check out what Mr. Cohen and I are up to through our P2K Blog which I've linked on the right hand side of the page. We will be updating our activities with the students of Alei Givah (our sister school in Israel) on a daily basis, and would love to hear from you.
I'll make sure to place each of your notes in the Western Wall when I get to Jerusalem.
Looking forward to seeing you in 2008!
-Mr. G.

Morning, Agust 8th, 2007 (final draft)
Hey guys this is miy final draft of my thank-you poem so i hope you like it!
At 9:07 you call my name
Because you know I’ll want pancakes
For an early morning start
Even though I’m still in bed
At 9:32 you’ve taken out the trash
Fed Freddy put in a load of laundry
And I’m still in bed
Too tired to get up
By 9:45 you’ve got me out of bed and dressed
So we can have some bonding time
While we make pancakes together
You are always so thoughtful
At 10:26 you go to the garden
To pick some fruit and veggies
You ask me to help
I say yes immediately and bring the baskets
At 11:00 we’ve picked four baskets of fruits and veggies
I start wrapping them up to go
Down to the fridge for the winter to come
Even though I’m working I’m still glad to be with you
By 11:19 I’ve made some lemonade
For the two of us
I asked you if I could go sell it
But you said Sam and I should sell jam instead
At 11:33 you’ve helped us pack up
And now we’re off
But I want to stay
And help you instead
At 12:00 it’s time for a grilled cheese please with extra cheese
We sit down together and look at each other
Then we burst out in laughter
For no good reason
By 3:30 our hard work is done
And it’s time to have some fun
You start getting mancala while I get some drinks
After we finish setting up
I realize there’s something missing
So I lean over the board
And give you a great big hug
And whisper “thanks”
Thx Fanny (feel free to give advice)

Grandpa...
Hey guys
I put my (secret) poem up so if you have any thing to say about it please comment.
P.S. my grandpa always made me jump for the amount of years old I was.
Grandpa... By Micah Berlow
A Jump for wit
which he had a lot of
A Jump for joy
which he had more of
A Jump for love
which he had the most of
A Jump for the hospitals
which took care of him
A Jump for the man in the moon
that says hello once in a while
A Jump for China
his birth place
A Jump for Vancouver
his death bed
A Jump for books
one of which he wrote
A Jump for the Italian La Scala Opera
which he went to
A Jump for chess
which he played a lot of
A Jump for creatures
great and small
A Jump for tears
which I shed
A Jump for hope
that he is doing well
A Jump for change
from having a grandpa to not
A Jump for a small jade tie clip
from a will
A Jump for angels
which I know he joined
A Jump for death
A Jump for him

Thank You poem
I am sharing my thank you poem with you. It is an elegy to my Grammy.
Those Friday Afternoons
Those Friday afternoons
After school
Every week
I miss you
I miss the Granville island trips to the market to buy some fresh wild salmon for dinner
I miss the buttery smell of eggies on toast
I miss you
I miss the sweet aroma of when you bake a honey cake for desert
I miss the long seaside walks
I miss you
I remember
That night
That dew on the window type of February night
I saw you in your room
For the last time
I miss the Granville island trips,
And the eggies on toast,
And the sweet aroma of when you bake a honey cake,
And the long seaside walks but
More than anything else
I miss you
-Bram
p.s.: You may not see any line breaks, but there was some. I think it has something to do with the computer.

Pay it Forward Poem Response
Pay it Forward Poem Response
I decided to write my Pay it Forward poem on my Mom. I chose my Mom because as I said in my poem, she always tries her hardest to please me, and to make me happy.
I find this is one of the best qualities a person can have. Doing things for other people even if it means sacrificing your time from your day.
In my poem, I have one vignette. It is a memory from when me and my mom were on tour. It was 12:30 in the morning and we were kept up by the people in the next motel room. My mom phoned up the guy at the front desk, and asked him if we could switch rooms. The reason she told the man, was that her son needed sleep for the next day. I felt special when she said, “My son” rather than I need sleep. She could have stayed up for another few hours but she changed rooms for me. This is another example of why I chose my Mom to do this poem on. She loves me and I love her.
I also write, “You are my guardian angel.” this is a metaphor I use to show what I think about her, and that I compare her to an angel.
In some of my stanza’s I use the words you, and I. When I do, I put each one on a different line to express the poem is about her and from me, also to show the importance of her and I.
I describe her skin as being worm, soft, loving and when my skin touches hers my heart lights up. This is how I really feel. I get a special feeling when I get close to her that I only experience around her. A feeling of comfort and safety.
Later I explain that I love riding with her and car ride with her are fun. If we are in a long car ride I can see that she tries her hardest to make it fun and enjoyable. From games to simply talking.
Near the end of my poem I used a very famous expression to explain why I wrote the poem, “ What goes around, comes around, you have given me my whole life, and now I think it’s my turn to give to you.” It is true. She has always given me clothes, there is always food on the table, and she has always protected me. So this poem was like payback (in a good way). She now deserves to be given. This is my main reason for writing this poem.
I feel honored to be able to give her something for a change.
Thanks,
Marc L.

it just is not for me
hey guys this is my first draft if you can comment that would be great thanks hope you like it
how do they do it
how can this be
writing a poem
just is not for me
as i look at the wall
and stare at the page
all i can think about
is my enoumouse rage
do they look straight ahead
do they get it from a chart
it seems that some people
can write poetry in the dark
but i have come to a conclution
it stings me like a bee
that writing poerty
just is not for me

All Heart
Memories. Memories
that can make you laugh. like when
dad completly gasses Eddie out. Dreams.
Dreams that you want to come true. From it
snowing on my birthday, or getting me that
new video game system that everyone else
has. Actions. Actions that can let you
change the world around you.
Memories, dreams, actions.
But especially care. Care
about everyone you
love. Especially
you own
family

Nomi from Lord Bing,
Nomi,
Thank you so much for all of your comments that were in a poems form.
Heres just a little thanks of a poem that I'm writing to you.
I hope you like it:)
Your an ever growing seed,
what does that mean?
I seem to be stumped
and I maybe a chump
I'm not so assured
It seems to be blurred
I know this seems weird
of me being so cheered
and thanking you for your writing
as I came out from hiding
I am now trying
to keep up with your writing
but your words are so strong
and I always seem to be wrong
I hope you've realized
that I'm just trying to rise
while I thank you for this.

Skoon Pa
You come in
on your frigid flight
then you take
me out each night
No matter what mom say’s
we go out
with out a doubt
We play, laugh
and have fun
we are always on the run
day in and day out, rain or shine
I wait for the next day
over and over again
without saying a word
for that day
I wait for more
though,
just to go to the store
I dread that odious day
the day that you leave
and when you are gone
I know I have done wrong
Then I look back
and react
because now I know that
you love me
And that one word I forgot
to say
hits me
so hear me today
all I want to say
is......................... Thank You
plaese comment on the poem
p.s. Skoon Pa means grandpa in africkans

Ren Ikeda
Please give feedback
Ren Ikeda had copious amounts of money
Ren Ikeda was a debonair swarthy cuff
Ren Ikeda had great amounts of pluck
Ren Ikeda lived athwart the brine
Ren Ikeda enjoyed vaunting about the money he plied
Ren Ikeda was dolefully gaudy and rarely fain gave a dower
Ren Ikeda avowed that what he did was not right
People never durst flout or chide Ren Ikeda
Ren Ikeda never dreamed of getting a guerdon
Dolefully when Ren Ikeda met Arch Fear
People realized Ren Ikeda had arrears
With rapture they fain through Ren Ikeda’s body into the brine

Secret Poem
Everyone,
here is my secret poem, I really want as many comments as possible because I want to make my poem the best it can be for my Mom. It's a snowball effect, if you give to me, I can give to my Mom:)
Thanks,
Marc L.
P.S. To any parents who read this, PLEASE don't say anything about it to my MOM :) Thanks
Where does
it
come from?
It surely
never leaves
the
endless
love
that you give to
me
You may think I
don’t notice
how
hard
you work to
please me
I focus on
some I
love
you for
I know I can
always
count on
you
to be there for
me
Like the time when we
switched motel rooms at
the crack of dawn
you told the man
at the front desk,
“My son needs sleep,
can we please switch room?”
I felt
good inside
when you said My son,
rather then saying I
because It was
then I knew
that you that you were doing
it for me.
I can’t begin
to think how life would be
without you
I would be
lost,
not knowing the
difference between
right,
or wrong
left,
or right
you are
my
guardian
angel
I ask
you come
you do what you
can
to make me
happy
I
appreciate that with
all my
heart
when your
worm
soft
loving
skin, touches
mine
my heart lights up, an
instant
reaction
I say “Thanks”
from school,
play dates,
to simply
a drive around town
You
take
me
everywhere I need to go
even if it means
sacrificing
your time
from
your day
No matter how
far
or short
any ride with
you
is a
different
adventure
each time
who knows where
you will
take me next
I do know though,
that I will be
happy
all the way through
Because
I
will be with
You
“Mommy”
What
goes around,
come around
you have given me,
my whole life.
Now,
I think it’s
my turn to
give to you
I love you

Blaring through
the sides of my face
sweet
rough
hard
electronic
molds my moods
and inspires my soul
distracted from the outside world
in a melodic coma
I am heaven
I am on clouds
flying high into blue
or deep down to red
depends,
allows me to survive
keeps me off the streets
my energy drink
my jolt of life
teaches my brain
about the opposites
I am addicted
it’s so sweet
relaxation hits my body
therapy for my mind
grooving
crying
laughing
smiling
dancing
Blaring Through
the sides of my face,
Music

Hey guys I just want some feedback on this poemi'm writting for my nanny.
At 9:07 you call my name
Because you know I’ll want pancakes
For an early morning start
Even though I’m still in bed
At 9:32 you’ve taken out the trash
Fed Freddy put in a load of laundry
And I’m still in bed
To tired to get up
By 9:45 you’ve got me out of bed and dressed
So we can have some bonding time
While we make pancakes together
You are always so thoughtful
At 10:26 you’ve gone to the garden
To pick some fruit and veggies
You asked me to help
I say yes immediately and go bring the baskets

Wandering
by: Marc L.
Grade: 6A
I scrummage for the food
that fell from her sandwich
This is breakfast measly crumbs
and if I’m lucky scraps from the
a restaurant garbage
Walking alone
in Brooklyn others of my type
Looking as hungry
and tired as me
empty stomachs showing through their faces
Is this how I look
What has become of me
Who am I
My name is Frank but is it
still
I’ve been on this road
a long time
The road that put shaggy
dirty clothes on my body
the road where
hunger concurs
What is my step-father doing
No
why should I care
I am here because of him
Everything he said and did to me drove me
out
I wish I could run home
talk to mom
but I just can’t
People told me he loved
but I think it’s
crap
He would have treated me like his real son
I miss dad
real dad
and I wish I could call him
my minutes are up
I must keep my mind of that
and think about where I’m going
to sleep
what I’m going to eat
and keeping worm
I can’t sleep in that alley
last night a gang gathered nearby
Maybe a bench will do
I scrummage for the food
that fell from her sandwich
This is lunch measly crumbs
and if I’m lucky scraps from the
a restaurant garbage
Waiting
hoping
Craving
for a friend to recognize
me behind this wall that separates
me
from
reality
Looking in garbage cans for bottles
dozens just lying
doing
nothing
Inspecting myself
in a window
I have gotten so skinny
but in a
bad
way
kids
looking so
happy
in their
fur coats
going into shops
daddies buying them everything
I hate all that!
I hate it!
My life was never like that
I was cut off
from being spoiled
given
or loved
I feel like screaming
at the top of my lungs
but I don’t know
if I’m able to
my mouth is so parched
and I’m not sure if I want to
waste what I’ve got
I scrummage for the food
that fell from her sandwich
This is lunch measly crumbs
and if I’m lucky scraps from the
a restaurant garbage

The blue chair
Theres a chair in the
middle of the
room
Whats it doing there? That
I do not
know
I feel like its trying
to say something
important
I think in my head.
But my brain's
empty
Theres a chair in the
middle of the
room
Its blue. It has metal
coloured linings. Its
nice
my feelings for this chair
are big. my friend
Theres a chair in the
middle of the
room
someone comes and sits on
the chair. I die
I feel heart broken. My
eyes drooped in
sadness
Theres a chair in the
middle of the
room

The Sorrow of our Ancestors (FIRST DRAFT)
Posted by JaCoB at 10:16 PM 2 comments
It takes 2
It takes 2 to hug
It takes 2 to share
It takes 2 to laugh
It takes 2 to dream
It takes 2 to build
It takes 2 to love
and care for the world
Or...
You need someone to
hug you when
your alone
You need someone to
share a toy when
your alone
It takes 2 to
tickle and make the
other laugh
You need someone to
dream with when
your alone
You need 2 to
build something with
some one else
It takes 2 people
to love each other when
their alone

A musical note-draft 2
Hey guys, I added a few stanzas at the end. But Im not sure if they are so good... Please leave a comment!!!
Already walking into the
music room I can
hear it
its music, I look
at the blackboard, I
see it
Music notes, I saw
the teacher, I
could hear
Her voice, I see
her fingers moving
on something
the piano, I see
her having a
good day
I walk out, I
can not hear
a thing
Im mute, all the
joy is in
that room
I try to go
back in but
I cant
once you come out,
you have to
start again

Parted With a Friend (Draft 1)
Thanks to all who commented on my last entry, please do the same with this one!
Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say,
Marc L.
words
echo
in my head
as I walk
out of the hallway
in reality
"Injured
Rest
Healing"
three words that I
suspect would be
floating
around my body
for the next year
why me
what did
I do
to deserve this
that Doctor
just took my
identity
away
what am i going
to do
what is my
purpose
now
my team
my soulmates
sharing a
passion that
bound
us together
now that
love
has been
shattered
not only me
but the people
surround me
effected
by this
frustration
a family
tradition
broken
eyes staring at me
in
dismay
searing
agony
hits my body with a
hell-like
pressure
I want to scream
one year
that is too long
for me to be
parted from a
friend
people say things
happen for a
reason
but how can I
beleive that
when all I can think about
are those
studded
shoes
hanging in my room
Thanks,
Marc L.

Hardcover book binding
Hi everyone,
I met with the "book binding lady", and we will be creating your hardcover books during the first two weeks of January. This is a very exciting and unique opportunity to create a keepsake that you and your families will cherish for a long time. I'd recommend spending the next few weeks polishing up the work that you'd like bound (fractured fairy tales, your poems, or any other writing that you're especially proud of).
Happy Hanukkah to you and your families.
-Mr. G.

Message for Yoad
Hi Yoad,
I've temporarily removed your poem because I wanted to discuss a couple things with you just to make sure that I understood your intention and the meaning of the poem. Let's talk on Monday. I'm not sure what happened to the original story post; but I'm glad you reposted it.
Keep writing!
-Mr. G.

Mel's poem reminded me of another...
We've been discussing putting ourselves in other people's shoes lately. Often, we spend too much time waiting for our turn to speak, or pre-judging people based on appearances or first impressions or half-truths or rumours. I hope that our rich classroom discussions have helped you start to realize that each member of our grade six family has many important and meaningful things to express.
-Mr. G.
I Stopped Listening Today
Stopped listening today
In her eyes I heard a plea
In his smile, curiousity
In his stance, a longing for more
In her tremble a need to be secure
I Stopped listening today
Stopped talking today
In her hand I felt an open heart
In their stares insecurity
In their looks I felt loved
In her cry I felt gratitude
I stopped talking today
Stopped judging today
In their begging and dreary state I felt kinship
In my smile they returned understanding
In our short time together we felt not alone
I stopped judging today

Six Million Scars draft 5
Between fields and seas
Hard to imagine
What happened here
Men blessed by heaven
With stories untold
Unable to distinguish
Between the chapters of pain
They lived with
The scars they carried
Despite
The Men with Guns

A musical note-first draft
Already walking into the
music room I can
hear it
its music, I look
at the blackboard, I
see it
Music notes, I saw
the teacher, I
could hear
Her voice, I see
her fingers moving
on something
the piano, I see
her having a
good day
-Janine

6 Million Scars
Into the heart
Between seas and fields
It’s hard to imagine what happened
Here
There are men blessed by heaven
With a story
Who sometimes are unable to distinguish
Many years of pain
With the Scars they carry
They lived
Despite
The Men with
Guns

A Dark Place
you're in this place
its a dark place
you look at all the other people all you see is black
I'm in this place
its a dark place
I look at all the other people all I see is black
But this time
its like time is going backwards
you look at all the other people all you see is black
its a dark place
that we are all in.

Stages of life
Hi everyone, please comment on this poem because it means alot to me and I worked hard on it.
your symbols of life
and your only
memories too
Babies, for the truth their
useless, all they do is
cry, poo and drink
their bottles
But remember, you were
useless at some point too
Toddlers, they bring joy to
people learning how to
walk, talk an eat
proper food
But remember you were learning
how to walk, talk and eat too
Kids, they have their own
imagination and they
start their years
of school
But remember, you once and still
have an imagination of your own
Teenagers, theyre in high school and
they start having much
more homework
from school
But remember, you once
got alot of homework
Adults, getting married and findings
carriers, the point where
you find the purpose
of life
But remember, you once
found the purpose of life too
Grandparents, they have grandchildren and
give presents to them
and the have kids that
love them
Your stages of life are
your symbols of life
and your only
-Janine
memories too
