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.
We are high school juniors attending Kenwood Academy High School in Chicago, Illinois. We are completing a unit on satire and have created original satires based on issues that we want to shed light on.

ReplyDeleteThis poem is short but to the point. It reminds me of how two things that are opposites somehow can work together.
