After reading nature poems by Denise Levertov and Wendell Berry, the students wrote their own nature poems. Ten wanted me to post their poems on my blog, As as consequence, I will post two student poems each day. Here is the first set.
In late fall evening
There are leaves falling
and they are crunching
under your feet
as the birds fight
for the tree with the
most leaves My family
watches football in
the warm cozy house
of ours.

Nature is beautiful
and helps you see,
the wild is suitable
for you and me.
Nature helps you grow
in strength and mindset,
and helps you realize
your true assets.
Look around and see
the beautiful world God made for me.

What a great way to showcase the budding talent of your students! Especially (Juliana ) because you are such a gifted well traveled, poet and may say feminist yourself! So far all is good, I especially like Bailee ‘s — do they have titles? Keep them coming!!!
Some had titles but many not.
