Poetry Friday: Twas’ the Day Before Vacation
December 21, 2007: Still at school. Students and staff are maintaining and trying not to look at the clock.
Here are some poems from my students this week. The holidays are on their minds.
lights, sparkly lights
crystal cars sparkle
in the light
–Melissa, 5th grade
crystals all around
the Christmas of my life
flying in the skies.
–Ashlyn, 2nd grade
The brevity speaks volumes of where our minds are these days.
My contribution is based on my experience in downtown Portland this past weekend.
brisk holiday air
carols weave around buildings
man asks-”spare change?”
–MsMac
Please visit here for more Friday Poetry offerings.
Read, read, read this upcoming break
Happy Reading.

I’m about to hop on a plane, so I need to follow John’s example! My contribution is here:

“The Greater Cats”, a poem by V. Sackville-West, dedicated to the memory of Tatiana, the Siberian tiger killed at the San Francisco Zoo on Christmas.
Thanks for hosting!
