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.

YOU, ME, EACHOTHER

I FIT INTO YOU
LIKE A FINGER IN A RING
LIKE A HOPE IN A DREAM
LIKE A SONG THAT WE SING

I FIT INTO YOU
AS A SOUL TO HAVE LIFE
AS STRENGTH TO TAKE LIFE

YOU FIT INTO ME
LIKE A BALL IN A BASKET
LIKE A BODY IN A CASKET

YOU FIT INTO ME
LIKE A STEM IN A ROSE
LIKE SKIN IN SOME CLOTHES
LIKE A HAIR IN A NOSE

WE FIT IN EACHOTHER
LIKE A SON OUT OF A MOTHER
LIKE A SISTER TO A BROTHER
LIKE WE WERE MEANT FOR EACHOTHER

WHY DO I FIT?
WHY DO YOU FIT?
WHY DO WE FIT?
FITTING IS A EASY THING
IT’S IN THE MIND LIKE A DREAM
A THOUGHT DIRTY OR CLEAN

FITTING IS A MUST
THAT’S WHY WE SHOW LOVE INSTEAD OF DISGUST
FIGHTING FOR EACHOTHER’S HEART, NOT JUST LUST
SO HEARTS WILL NEVER BE STONY AND RUST

US FITTING WILL ALWAYS BE
IF WE HAVE EYES OPEN TO SEE
WHAT JOY, PAIN HATE, AND LOVE THAT ARE TO BE
AND IF YOU ACCEPT ME
AND THE WORLD ACCEPT WE
BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE
BECAUSE YOU FIT INTO ME?
I FIT INTO YOU?
WE FIT INTO EACHOTHER?
