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.

Wusaa...

Watch the worm
Slide and
curl,
As the pheromones of blossomed
flowers emerge–(breathe)
from
the
sight
of
rain, Pop!
The worm head to be snatched by a bird.

Inspired by "Poem" By William Carlos Williams
