Hi I'm Gavin. A poem, called "Dear Sky" by Naomi Shihab Nye, really inspired me to think about the earth. I could not have revised this poem without Mrs. Juran, special guest Georgia Heard, and my classmates. Thank you! Now it is time to share my poem, Ground: The Surface We Stomp on All Day.
Dear Ground, Thank you for letting us stomp and ride on you all day. You: the only way for us to get somewhere unless we sail over you. You: the only way I can get to my friend's house. We could not go to places we love without you. We could not see distance family without you. Love, The person who stomps on you all day
To all poets, I encourage you to find a mentor text and speak from your heart!
Thank you to everybody who helped me write this poem!
