Grade 9's: as promised here are your Slam Poetry examples that you performed! You did an excellent job writing about progress and perceptions, in light of International Womens Day March 8th.
She was a flame
warm and welcoming
Bringing light to those around her
But she burned anyone who came too close
to the point where she would keep her distance
in fear of causing others pain
so she burned alone
bright and ambitious
Fury, a seething red, too full of determination
she never let anything get in her way
and overcame every obstacle
But just like any fire
her flame went out
leaving no trace behind
apart from the charred remains
left in her wake - Hana Ballum
Imagine living in the sky away from problems as high as possible
This is how my friend lives, up in the sky away from his worst fear, acceptance
This is where he can get away from the world he fears won't accept him for who he is
When he visits the ground he is overwhelmed with feelings
He digs his head into his pillow hoping he's dreaming; he hates himself, feels selfish bothering someone with his problems
One day while he's visiting the ground, he gathers courage from the sky and talks to his mom
He tells her about his boyfriend that strictly lives on the ground. His mom supports him and now he can be living happily on the ground
He still visits the sky but no longer lives there. He misses the quiet of the clouds but no whe knows the loveliness of the ground. - Brendan Batista
How many pills can I take to be considered cool?
How many friends do I need to be popular?
How many wins do I need to be a man?
How far do I have to scroll?
How many people do I need to serve?
How many logos do I need to wear
How many shoes do I need to own
How many likes do I need to get
How many years are left? - Andrew Mrak
