Welcome to the Kenwood poetry blog!

This blog showcases the original poetry of some of Kenwood Academy High School's Senior Class.

The diversity of the student body is mirrored in the diversity of the poetry; some poems are lighthearted and others are quite personal and serious. While the poems incorporate a variety of styles and themes, they are all inspired by the poetry that we've studied in class.

James Butler

Whether or not you thought James Butler was down
He would always act as if he held the crown
When you saw him he always had a smile 
You would swear he was a happy child

James was blessed with better than the rest
People said he was God blessed 
But even though he had the finest
James always seemed to be the whiniest

One day James found a friend
That treated him better when it was in a syringe 
He choose it over the rest
It even made him put his mother's love to the test
James loved it so much, he kept it in his arm
That one day his best friend killed him by its charm.

I love this poem it is so relatable, it has a nice since of irony in it as well as personification, i can't choose what part of the poem i liked most it was just all around good
