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.

Hole in the Darkness

Dark rain falls from my eyes.
Your shadow moves away.
Three years of long living lies,
now an alley cat, astray.

Smack! Right in the face.
Rapid thudding of my heart.
Your love left without a trace,
doubt it was there from the start.

I’m now empty and pale,
my eyes only see the dark bright.
No appetite, looking frail,
I wonder if I’ll ever see the light.

A huge hole in the darkness,
and you will matter less.


Inspired by the Sonnet form
