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.

One Day...

Maybe I was dumb to think
that forgetting you would be so easy.
It's clear now that I was...

I tried brushing it off
because I knew I would see you again one day.
Until I realized how far away that day would be.

I miss your laugh and smile,
the way that you could always make me feel better
And how I always felt comfortable around you.

I know you are in a better place now
So ill try to be happy again, just for you.
... I know one day we'll meet again
