The T.V.

The T.V.


What would life be without this device?
A dark hole, a disaster not once but twice!

You flick through the channels with smoothness and ease
without knowing how many takes happen to get the perfect sneeze!

Car commercials to T.L.C.
Lights camera action 1, 2, 3

Glaring at the glowing screen
watching that mesmerizing scene

you grunt and try to find the comfy spot on the couch
the you sit up and sulk into a typical American slouch

Oh no! Your brother has stolen the remote!
In the mean time you make a devious plan to strangle his throat

you hear mom yell beastly “ Dinner time”
then you scream back “one sec mom I gotta watch him get covered in slime”

what an amazing thing the T.V. is
it even shows you what’s up in Show Biz

You hear the old man say “ To much tv and your eyes will turn square”
and you say back “ Do you really think I care?”


What would life be without this device?

Help with 6A assignment

Hi Gang,

I want you to think back to David Greenberg's presentation and reflect on the parts that were important to you. What did he say that applies to your writing? What did you find interesting about his presentation? What can you use in your own poems? What surprised/interested you?

Looking forward to a good discussion on Monday.

PS I'm really enjoying reading your poems. Adam's poem on soccer and Mikaela's poem are very different, yet capture emotions wonderfully. Make sure you check them out, and tell them what you thought.

-Mr. G.

Mikaela's poem

Mikaela,

Your poem is a beautiful tribute. You've chosen such powerful words to express very strong emotions, and maintained such a nice sense of cadence and rhyme. This really is a moving piece.

The Game Is On My Line

the spinning blur of black and white
come to me
just a foot away
I know what to do
I take a step in the freezing rain
and soar into the air
I'm like a bird gracefully flying
I'm getting closer
i can almost touch the blur
i fall hard to the ground but
the blur breaks the the fall
i get up and kick the blur which is now a ball
and then soaring in the air it turns into
a spinning blur of black and white

Mikaela,

I only remember 1 and I think its this one,
to care for your writing

sorry I don't remember either

love and death

Loved

to be in love

to care for someone

like they were a white dove.

To not be judged

by what he or she does

to care for someone just because.

But when someone dies

your love doesn't go away

it stays with you

for every next day.

It stays in your heart

until you die

passing that love

to the people nearby.

So the next generation

of love and death goes on

with still love in their hearts

for the people that are gone.

-Mikaela

Hey Janine,

Sweet poem!!!!!! Looking forward to hear more from Janine N. the Poet!


Marc L.

Nini's poem

Hi Nini,

You've chosen a topic that poets have been writing about for generations: inspiration!
You are beginning to develop your voice in your poems, which is a big step for writers. My challenge for you is to use every line and stanza break to your advantage. Some of your chosen words are so powerful that they deserve a line of their own. I'll leave you to choose which ones those are.

As always, thanks for sharing your work!

-Mr. G.
