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.

Secrets

LIFE has dark secrets; and the hearts are few

That treasure not some sorrow from the world--

A sorrow silent, gloomy, and unknown,

Yet colouring the future from the past.

We see the eye subdued, the practised smile,

The word well weighed before it pass the lip,

And know not of the misery within:

Yet there it works incessantly, and fears

The time to come; for time is terrible,

Avenging, and betraying.

Inspired by All the people with Secrets


Christian S.-1st period

This poem seems realistic. It could've been more sensible with similes and metaphors.
