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.

Third Period

Every day running to class from the 3rd floor to the first
The teacher not proud she’s yelling to loud her lungs are about to burst.

The late bell rings, you know the routine
Don’t make a scene just go and get your tardy.

The teacher say’s, you get what you earn
So next time come prepared to learn.

So were now reading stranger.
A boy named Meursault is in Danger.

Were then assigned chapters to read.
No one does and the teacher is not pleased.

She then stresses the importance of the class.
Students ignore it an still play and laugh.

She say’s if you all keep this up your not going to win.
Remember Im the teacher, I have the final say so in the end.

The end of the year, is now approaching
And the teachers is now deciding who should get promoted.
