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.

Dedication

Before you was annoying
And needed to put on some weight
Now your booty's a little bigger
And got a thicker waist
Your appeal has grown
And I think that is great
I know you couldn't reach me before
Because I needed space
Now you looking better
Can I take you on a date
Its only been a summer
And the changes were dramatic
Let me give my new number
So we can work this magic

Inspired by "My Mistress Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun" by William Shakespeare

    This reminds me of how guys wont talk to or talk about you at first. Then they see you in a new light and they act interested.
