Pandemic Ecosystems by Gwenyth R. Society is an ecosystem. We all play a role in contributing to it, Although some people’s roles are more vital than others. We depend on people to do their part in keeping our ecosystem functioning, Especially during these times that can be extremely challenging. the same way animals play important roles in keeping their ecosystem happy and healthy.

Gwenyth is a grade 8 PLP learner that pushes herself to achieve her life goals and academic goals. Her poems are inspired by her worldview, as well as past experiences &amp; memories. When she’s not in school or doing homework, she’s probably doing a sport ( hockey, tennis, swimming, skiing), on a dog walk, or hanging out with friends. In her spare time she enjoys baking, journaling, art and suspenseful books. She lives in Vancouver with her family and Hugo, her 9 month old pandemic puppy. For more information about Gwenyth, visit <a href="http://www.blog44.ca/GwenythR/">her blog</a> and her <a href="https://youtu.be/4_5MDE-fH_s">about me video</a>.

She quite enjoyed creating her own poetry, although the poems took time to brainstorm, create and revise. She enjoys reading poems that she can make connections with, and that require us to think about the deeper meaning or life lesson this poem is trying to communicate. She hopes that you enjoyed reading her collection of poems and learned or discovered something that you didn’t know before about her or about yourself.

Worldview strolls in by Gwenyth R. My worldview strolls in with ideas, thoughts and opinions For better or for worse It doesn’t take his shoes off as it walks in the doorway, It doesn’t care what others think My worldview blabbers on and on It interrupts other peoples conversations It is a unique species It smiles at me, remembers the important experiences and backs me up

But no! By Gwenyth R. It was a surprise Didn&apos;t have a clue where we were going Somehow I felt it was going to be a good surprise A fun way to end the eventful day At first we thought, We were heading To an art exhibition, downtown But no! Then we thought, The amazing experience Of Fly Over Canada That reminds me of my family in New-Brunswick But no! Walking and walking, with hurry Mom, a little bit stressed because we couldn&apos;t find our destination We went down four flights of stairs Down to the marina I have an idea! We were going to take a seaplane! That’d be so cool But random I wasn’t expecting this But no! The long drive All the fast walking Was to pick up some “special cargo” That travelled here in a seaplane To be welcomed into a loving family In the crate, lies one of my joys of life, My sweet dog

The way I see the world by Gwenyth R. My knowledge is like a plant, that keeps on growing To find the sunlight, to reach for the sky Strengthening my roots, deepening my connections The experiences that have shaped me I value diversity I try to be As fair as the breeze, that passes through the trees Everyone should be treated with respect No matter their culture or identity No matter their wealth class Life is like a song, short and sweet Time is like a snowball, Rolling really fast down a hill As fast as a cheetah, hunting down it’s prey. Seems to be picking up speed with every fading year And just like that, it slips out of your grasp You’ll miss the magic of the past
