Poem in Your Pocket Day is on Thursday, April 30. Let’s celebrate by writing a poem and posting it for others to read.
We are all experiencing a different way of life. Writing about our new reality is a neat way to document this time with how we feel and what we are doing. Feel free to express yourself in any different poetry form or even a language more familiar to you!
A repetition poem is one way that you can express yourself. This style repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea clearer and more memorable.
Read Shel Silverstein repetition poem. Can you figure out what’s missing?
SOMETHING MISSING
I remember I put on my socks,
I remember I put on my shoes.
I remember I put on my tie
That was painted
In beautiful purples and blues.
I remember I put on my coat,
To look perfectly grand at the dance,
Yet I feel there is something
I may have forgot—-
What is it? What is it?. . .

Once you have written your new reality in a poem, let others read it by: Typing the poem into “Set Status Message” in Teams. (Click on your icon id at the top right hand corner). Make sure that you set the message for a week. Other people can read your poem by hovering over your icon. Note: There is a 280 character limit. OR Post it into the comments of the blog. |
Later, read 5 other poems and leave a 
message to the writer.
I’m sad because I can’t see my friends,
I’m sad because I can’t go to the park
I’m sad because I can’t go to school
but I’m happy that I can talk to my friends on line.

Well said Lennon. I’m sure lots of people feel the same way. 🙂
