Welcome to the Kenwood English IV Poetry Blog!

Students from Kenwood's Honors English IV classes have written poems inspired by the poems, poets and poetic forms that they've studied during this term's poetry unit. Some students wrote Ballads and Sonnets while others responded to the work of poets like e.e. cummings, Sylvia Plath and Rainer Marie Rilke. Many poems are profound, heartfelt and deeply insightful. Others are fun and lighthearted. But, all of the poems illustrate the students understanding and appreciation of the genre of poetry. We invite you to read this work and offer your comments. Thank you.

Baby Bottom

Crying, ga ga, crying
so curious to the foreign process
baby attempts to stand again unsure of what is to come again
but fails like he never tried at all
baby bottom hits the floor
Boom.

    Made me laugh, sometimes that's rare to find in poetry these days.
