Since this is the 18th week of class, I thought I would use the poem to start a conversation about time, how we use time, what is special about time, and other questions that are organically birthed from the conversation and discussion of the time poems.
Ms. Lopata Class (7/8th Grades)
I Had....
by Ryan G.
I had...
a time to run
a time to think
a time to have my mind made up
a time to jolt
a time to scream
a time to plan
a time to scram
a time to waddle away
There Was a Time
by Attallah
There was a time
in my life...when I had a good time.
And played
Talked
and acted silly
But it was the best time
was the only time
I had a GOOD time
There was an other time
when I had these bad times
but I didn't say nothing
the whole day
There is a Day to
by Tyrone H.
There is a Day to...
to go to school
to graduate
to go on with life
to be happy
to marry and..
to die
Back in Time
by David B.
I wish I can go back in time to
change the mistakes I did before.
If I had a time machine I can
stop the awkward moments.
To go back in time to tell my past
self what's going to happen next.
To warn people about their future event
and rent active to their future.
If I can go back in time, I would
save people lives.
Time
by Joseph M.
Infinite...
Time is an infinite thing
that never stops going.
It is a very strange intangeable thing.
Time is a nuetral event that is
not good or bad
Even though it has its ups and downs
and regular normal everydays.
I think time is a thing that goes in
a continual motion
and is what you make it to be.
And my favorite 5/6 Grade Class (Mrs. Johnson's ) -- Room 205 wrote a plethora of poems from the funny, whimsical and strange. Although I felt we might have lost some "time" because of the energy, we didn't and well written poems were birthed in the classes. My favorites were by Mark W. , Harold T. and Tyanna H. The longest poem was written by Monishae M. (8 stanzas/26 lines!)
Time Passes Because
by Mark W.
Time passes because you're having fun.
Time passes because the party has begun.
Time passes because you're playing outside.
Time passes because you're making rhymes.
Time passes because you're making jokes.
Time passes because you're about to choke.
Time passes because you're talking on the phone.
Time passes because you're singing cyclone.
Time passes because you're singing a song.
Time passes because you're not all alone.
Time passes because you're reading a book.
Time passes because you're in school learning.
Time passes...
With My Time
Tyanna H.
With my time, I talk.
With my time, I walk.
With my time, I play.
With my time, I lay.
With my time, I clean.
With my time, I dream.
With my time, I love.
With my time, I care.
With my time, I learn.
With my time, I be concerned.
With my time, I sing.
With my time, I dance.
With my time, I do a lot.
With my time, I shop.
With my time, My time...
My time.
A Fleet of Time
by Malik K.
Time is priceless, it is life.
But some takes it away with a death or a knife.
It goes fast and sometimes you'll think it forever lasts.
Believe it or not, we have a small period of time.
Our bodies will pass over both yours and mine.
So don't put this precious time to waste.
I hold your time and your fate.
A fleet of time!
Rich imagery, fun sayings...and always have something important to say, Mrs. Tomlinson's class all wrote amazing poems that made me smile. I am hoping you will also find something really fun and imaginative to these...
Clock Work
by Kendell B.
Mom, I have to watch Family Guy!!
I have 5 minutes to watch.
It was the Episode 100
Stewie was in George Bush's home.
They were shooting.
I was eating a twinkie.
We ordered some pizza.
It cost $20.
I went to get my hair cut..
I went to get a donut.
This poet wrote 3 different poems! TIARA's pen was on fire and I really appreciated her effort. Here one of her poems.
A Time
By Tiara B.
A time to sing.
A time to dance.
A time to shout.
A time to run.
I remember writing.
I remember learning.
I remember teaching.
I remember myself.
I stop to play.
I stop to work.
I stop to jump rope.
I stop to read books.
I wonder what's the day.
I wonder how was your time.
I wonder tick tock.
I wonder what time it is.
50 Seconds
by Jauron M.
In 50 seconds, I will go get a piece of cake.
In 50 seconds, I will go get a brownie at the Brownie shop.
In 50 seconds it will rain really hard.
In 50 seconds, I will go get a twinkie from the Twinkie Shop.
I hope these were as fun for you to read as it was for me to teach. Take some time to write your own "Time"poem. You might be surprised what comes out of your poetic mind.
