13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
We read Wallace Stevens's very challenging "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" - after a long discussion about the poem, these are some of the student responces
7th Period
Walter W.
Twelve Ways of Looking at the Patriots
I
Among 55 sweating players
lies the heart of the team
the eye of Bill Belichick,
II
He is like 3 minds
Like a gun, he explodes
In which there are three linebackers
Tedy Bruschi is one
III
The speedy guy swirled between the linemen.
He is a small part of the offense
Laurence Maroney
IV
A coach and a quarterback
are one.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick
are one.
V
I do no know which to prefer
The powerful kick of Steve Gostkowski
or the swift boot of Chris Hentrich
The return man just waiting
to gain a loss of yards.
VI
Snow filled the field
with barbaric ice.
The shadow of the line
like the 'fro of Randy Moss
swept a mood across Gillette Stadium
Chanting … 16 and 0
VII
O thin men of Indianapolis, Indiana
Like Peyton Manning
Don't you see you are going to get sacked?
He walks on his feet,
but not for long.
VIII
I know noble accents
and Wes Walker too
The Patriots are involved
In winning the Super Bowl
IX
When the cornerback disappeared,
Ellis Hobbs marked the edge
of one of many interceptions.
X
At the sight of Mike Vrabel
Flying in between the line
Even the bawds of euphony
would cry out sharply.
XI
They rode over Massachusetts
In a gold bus.
Never a fear in their mind
the shadow cast over them but
They were confident.
XII
The Patriots are going
The Superbowl is near!
8th period
Elena Orr
Six ways of looking at water
I.
Ripples among long fields
the only thing
moving is the water
II.
Drying out.
Needing that one thing
that makes it come
back to life again
III.
The touch
Hot of Cold
wither way it is the same
IV.
Either in a cup
or in the ocean
it still has the
same essence
V.
We are water
Water is us.
VI
Running down faces
or running down throats
it still has the same name,
Water.
Eva S.
Five ways of looking at a cat.
I.
IN a deep dark forest
A cat moves
But all I can see
Is a shaking bush
II
Jewels in the black
when you sit up and stare
they disappear
III
Warmth around your feet
when looking at the covers
you see it moving steady
up and down
IV
through bars
you see only segments
of a trapped being
V
No movement
the, a rush
It appears
where was it before?
Gregory U.
Ten ways of looking at a pencil
I.
Among the quiet classrooms
the only thing moving is
the pencil
II.
I was of three minds
in which I only needed
One pencil
III
The pencil twists around
wildly just like the body
that holds it
IV
Lead and a pencil
are one
Lead, pencil and human
are on
V
It's hard to choose
Life, wisdom, or print
Everything essential.
VI
Pencils fill the shelf
wit no dust
The print of documents
and life of people
VII
O lord,
why is the world
greatly for pencils
They are lost con-
stantly, yet always
needed
VII
Pencils
taken for granted
If only the people
would understand
IX
When the pencil became,
we evolved
X
When poems are written
hearts are excited with hope.

Capturing a memory
We read Srinkath Reddy's "Waiting for the Eclipse in the Black Garden" and students wrote their own poems capturing an important memory.
2nd Period
Amanda Harb
Missing My Christmas
I woke up.
We usually go to family's house.
My mom says "no".
We're staying home.
I want to go.
Have some fun.
Be with my family.
But no.
We stay home.
All in the quiet.
No noise.
No laughing.
All alone in the quiet.
On Christmas day.
Ruth Thompson
Waiting by the Waters
The waves crash against the rocks.
The glimmer in her eye.
I can smell the whispers.
The sand twirls below
and I'm still for one second.
I climb near
closer and closer.
I can feel the sun's greetings.
And I rise higher that the clouds in the sky.
And I say goodbye.
Daisy Ogede
My first important phone call
Before the sun rises
When I come back to life
One ring
shifts my attention
"Hello, may I know who is speaking?"
"Your father."
Five seconds blank.
First in eight years
Smooth, bold voice was familiar
I was five again
"Where was he for all these years?"
"Does he still remember me?"
"Why did he leave?"
Questions silenced forever.
Jonathan Herrera
The Metal Flying Horse
Hundreds of people waiting to get in.
Some go to mine, some to other ones.
The animal roars at us as we pass.
I sit down on the beast and wait…wait
I feel the butterflies shaking right out of my stomach
As this creature started to run I had no choice.
I had to hold on.
56 people on, only one that panics.
Wind across its face and starts to fly.
It turned dark for a while
Then I looked outside, it suddenly brightened
I can finally see.
Finally.
Jenny Shultz
- The Rush -
Clear crop field.
Gas fumes spinning all over
Woods surrounding me
Wheels running.
Jump on, and hold your breath
Push the gas and go
Fast. Faster
Feel the wind
Hear the wing
Hear the rush of wind,
Feel the rush.

Metaphors
We read "Metaphors" by Sylvia Plath, which is a riddle poem using lots of descriptive, visual metaphors. Students then wrote their own metaphor poems describing aspects of their appearance.
2nd Period
Metaphors
Patrice P.
Chocolate brown drapes, perfect and soft and gentle.
Light brown stars on a cream sheet with light brown dots.
Gentle white figures with five points.
Gentle all year round.
Metaphors
Ishmael G.
White marble
But a red cherry
A bumpy road
With ocean's ripples
In the depression
There is a lion's stride
With a base of curved platforms
And a canopy of onyx leaves
Brendan L.
My head is a giant thumb print
My ears are upside down eggs
My teeth are pearls
My fingernails may be the heads of white haired people
My feet are those of a puppy
My legs are tree trunks
My scar is a happy face
My hair is a thick brush
Metaphors
Ruth T.
I'm a spark in the night
Branches on a tree
Legs on a tiger
pale pink, bright red
sky blue, grass green sunflower yellow
half of a heart, half of a strawberry
Curly citrus of an orange peel
Creamy white
Metaphors
Jenny S.
I am a body on earth
with toes like long baby carrots
with bitten nails of jagged knives
with fingers of lengthy twigs
my eyes are brown leaves
My brain is a ball of ideas
with ears of small swirly lollipops
I was born in this world
with my body this way
I can't change it anyway
5th Period
Kristen H.
Inside an apple
Outside a melon
Bread sticks
Mop on a stick
Long strand of dead
Point of a cone
Stuffy as can be
Leafs turning brown
Muddy green water
Joanna K.
They are two full circles glowing in the dark
They are deep pools of dark chocolate
It is a never ending pit in the dark muddy ground
They are ponds shimmering in the morning sunlight
They are dark gems in the rocks
Metaphors
Natalia C.
The color is so vibrant.
A dirty river,
A forest color.
I show you the mountains
And the rivers.
I am the ocean in which you travel.
I own the color in the sky when terrible tornado is approaching.
Look into my eyes and believe what I am saying.
Julia C.
I am ruler with ten inches
A twig chipped off at the end
A house with out two floors
Just one, but only one
I am just below the average line
A speck in a giant throng
I am not bothered by the
calls there's nothing wrong at all
Because I always say to you
I'm not short, you're just too tall
7th Period
Aura E.
A wisp of ash against a bright sky
the bottom of a murky pool
Hot lava seeps through cracked dirt
A cavern of stalagmites and stalactites that crush
Beatrice E.
The roots of a large tree
Stretching to the farthest corners
A mixture of dark chocolate chips
In a long brownie
A long rod
8th Period
Eva S.
Metaphors
My hair is bright yellow hay
Leaves on the tree in fall
and the sun at its height in the sky
My eyes are bright green gems
Grass in the wide open field
And leaves in the spring breeze
My hands are long pale forks
Sausages attached to a plate
A large giant duck bill
I am a tall straight tree
I am me
Jes M.
Not very witty but pretty sharp.
Pain with metal around every month.
Supposedly cleaned twice a day.
All of them one of a kind.
Tiny spaces in between them all.
They are white with red all around.
Adam W.
Full of scars from past bouts.
Aches from years of fighting.
Filled with signs of strength and weakness
Pain comes with all the losses.
Yet joy with each victory.
Has been through so much yet still well alive.
Protects all it covers.
Mostly there for shape and warmth.
Maybe not protect but keeps it all in.
For it is the main thing on my body it is my skin.
Chris B.
I'm a ruler four feet five inches
I have a cold death stare
Giraffe necks for arms
Big Elephant ears
Metal chains in my mouth
I have Einstein's brain
I walk with a peacock strut
Luis G.
A rowing water spout
A long canoe
A string holding a boulder
Half a coconut on a round grape
A cheetah running
A geometric figure

Zaya G.
This is my charm of power and defeat
It may taste bitter; it may taste sweet
Throw in glitter & a few beets
Get some children, candy & sweets
Don't forget those ghosts & ghouls
To make them scream, roll & burn
Throw it in the pot, watch it all smell & rot!
It may taste bitter; it may taste sweet
But I'm sure you'll love my charm of power & defeat
Patrick G.
Bubble, bubble soil and light
Banish evil and make courage take flight
Bravery of the sacred beast,
and part of a dog that scampers during the great feast.
Leaves of the trees that grow in the forest
A fire that burns while the great Goron nourish.
Jonathan H.
Charm of Powerful Funny Pain
Funny, funny, full of fun
Jonny, Jonny has to run
If he runs he just might fall
Into the side of a concrete wall
This charm will cure the pain
Made from ground-up candy canes
5th Period
Nitasha M.
Double double toil and trouble
Santa's sleigh and hot chocolate bubbles
Christmas trees and presents too
Certainly there will not be a boo
The north pole's cold, and the reindeers nose
A warm fireplace to sit by with your hot toes
Double, double toil and trouble
Santa's sleigh and hot chocolate bubbles
Christmas caroling, people jolly
One thing's for sure the grudge won't be happy
Natalia C
Charm of Powerful Lies
Double, triple the lies
Come, come my flies
Swirl, Twirl and spin
In my good magnificent bin
Close you up and kill you now
Don't show me a frown
Down goes jealousy
And my favorite a little wild mousy
Oops forgot te snake
A poisonous cake for people who make these mistakes
Nicole W.
Double, Double bubbles in trouble
pop, pop goes that bubble
put the cauldron
boil and steam
toes of frog
and snake tongue too
Poison darts and flowers too
Boil and steam
'till the thing is made
Stir, stir like it's the end of the world
And it's made
just for you (and the bubbles of course)
7th Period
Jacob S.
Deformed full of warts and smelly
We have a big belly
From eating kids, humans and animals
Such as mammals
Late nights are nice
Even if they are full of ice
Never we open gates to lemurs
for the have no femurs
We like to scare and
we are always there.

When this spell is done
There wil be no nickels and dimes
Money will come in time
No more bills to pay
Each man will shout and cry
In the pot there shall lay
A crocodiles eye
Two ounces of toad mucus
Clarice B
This is a spell of love
I won't add in a dove
I'll add something nice
And a powerful spice
This is starting to bubble
For I am in no trouble
Lets add some sugar
Definitely not a burger
Maybe just a bun
For now this spell is done.
Rocio M.
Capricorn of starry night
Right above the sky of fright
Summon those of high and low
Let the magic burst and glow
Marvels, goblins, snakes and toad
Behold the light upon the road
Follow the footsteps that appear
Leave the Earth and disappear
8th Period
Adam W.
Double Double Chicago's sports are in trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
the muscle of a quarter back
make the cauldron turn deep black
add the speed of the best receiver
makes the opponents quiver
get the strength of a batter
that will make the people chatter
Make Chicago all time champs
to make all the others look like chumps
Jes M.
Thanksgiving
Double, double mashed potatoes with gobbles;
Pumpkin pie and stomach grumbles.
When we add some stuff that's good;
We won't want any other food.
When they smell this all together;
People will begin to gather.
But when they all get here;
They will get a great scare.
Because they will realize;
Their food is cover in flies.
Elena H.
Bubble, Bubble Chaos and trouble
Give me some newts and male it double
A poison to make you hazy
don't think that this is crazy
dog fur and rabbit's foot
on the shelf you will put
eye of newt and fang of vampire
through the air you will float higher
as I make the sky turn gray
scare the whole town away
make fools out of them all
from the sky souls will fall
Bubble bubble chaos and trouble
Show me terror I'll give you double
2nd Period

This is my charm of power and defeat
It may taste bitter; it may taste sweet
Throw in glitter & a few beets
Get some children, candy & sweets
Don't forget those ghosts & ghouls
To make them scream, roll & burn
Throw it in the pot, watch it all smell & rot!
It may taste bitter; it may taste sweet
But I'm sure you'll love my charm of power & defeat
Patrick G.
Bubble, bubble soil and light
Banish evil and make courage take flight
Bravery of the sacred beast,
and part of a dog that scampers during the great feast.
Leaves of the trees that grow in the forest
A fire that burns while the great Goron nourish.
Jonathan H.
Charm of Powerful Funny Pain
Funny, funny, full of fun
Jonny, Jonny has to run
If he runs he just might fall
Into the side of a concrete wall
This charm will cure the pain
Made from ground-up candy canes
5th Period
Nitasha M.
Double double toil and trouble
Santa's sleigh and hot chocolate bubbles
Christmas trees and presents too
Certainly there will not be a boo
The north pole's cold, and the reindeers nose
A warm fireplace to sit by with your hot toes
Double, double toil and trouble
Santa's sleigh and hot chocolate bubbles
Christmas caroling, people jolly
One thing's for sure the grudge won't be happy
Natalia C
Charm of Powerful Lies
Double, triple the lies
Come, come my flies
Swirl, Twirl and spin
In my good magnificent bin
Close you up and kill you now
Don't show me a frown
Down goes jealousy
And my favorite a little wild mousy
Oops forgot te snake
A poisonous cake for people who make these mistakes
Nicole W.
Double, Double bubbles in trouble
pop, pop goes that bubble
put the cauldron
boil and steam
toes of frog
and snake tongue too
Poison darts and flowers too
Boil and steam
'till the thing is made
Stir, stir like it's the end of the world
And it's made
just for you (and the bubbles of course)
7th Period
Jacob S.
Deformed full of warts and smelly
We have a big belly
From eating kids, humans and animals
Such as mammals
Late nights are nice
Even if they are full of ice
Never we open gates to lemurs
for the have no femurs
We like to scare and
we are always there.
