This poem is inspired by the song I'm interpreting! I haven't figured out the title yet but here it is! I will deliver this at the Poetry Party
ReplyDeleteLet it go, Let it go.
Just let them go.
Don’t think about what happened before.
Don’t think about the consequences.
Let your fears go!
No matter what the situation is,
No matter what it could do to you,
Just think,
“Why live life if I’m scared!”
Enjoy life!
Don’t be scared of it
Seize the day!
No matter what’s in your way
Let it go, Let it go.
Just let them go.
Don’t think about what happened before.
Don’t think about the consequences.
Let your fears go!
Can you please share your opinions?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone here??

ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton- i just realized something. the calender we use today was not invented until sometime in the 1700s! What will we do? Should we just leave it as it is?
ReplyDeleteIt's fine! It's not like facebook was made in the 1600s
ReplyDeleteHow do you think of my poem!
ReplyDeletei got 8/10 on the word study quiz. by the way mr. buxton: There is a word study test on Friday, but Sabine needs more experience on some of the topics. (i'm basically asking you to give us some exercises so i don't fail the test). also, that was a b, a.k.a it was a COMPLETE SENTENCE.

ReplyDeleteGreetings Intermediate school
ReplyDeletewe’re Camille and Anisha
and we’re gonna make some pronouncements
for the morning announcements
The core values you know
and everyday you must show
respect, responsibility
fairness and compassion
and most importantly
honesty
While you’re still in intermediate school
there are some basic rules
to walk when tiles are under your feet
but not to eat there, too!
Hey, Camille!
know what’s today?
It’s the GATE math fair!
Please do not delay.
it’s from one to two
with puzzles galore
please attend
you’ve promised to be on the floor
Additionally
There’s the Variety Show
And they’ve got the beat
with the singers and the dancers and all the skits to see
to grab your tickets
and take a seat
Furthermore

Hey, Anisha!
You know what happened
on this day
in 1971?
An earthquake hit

in San Fernando
The answer to the riddle from yesterday
was..............
____________________________
and now it’s time
for the riddle of to day
so grab your computer
and get ready, to play!
No legs have I to dance
No lungs have I to breathe
No life have I to live or die
And yet, I do all three
What am I?
No legs have I to dance
No lungs have I to breathe
No life have I to live or die
And yet, I do all three
What am I?
Please send your answers

Well, it’s the end of the announcements
And we can’t say much more
So all that’s left to think about
is a quote of the day:
Act as if what you do makes a difference.
It does.
Ah thank you very much!
