Poetry is a great way to get out your feelings.
Think about a time when you experienced some emotion.
How did you feel?
How does it feel when you're anticipating a party or vacation?
How does it feel when you accomplish a goal?
How does it feel when someone insults you?
Insult by Mr. Byrd
An insult is a swift slap
burning my cheeks as my head hangs low
shoulders hunched
doubting myself
Why can't I let it go?
an insult is a sharpened arrow
straight to my heart,
straight to my thoughts
and it's nagging me again
An insult pounces
and I am thrown down
waiting for the strength to stand
I hear a call -
a dependable friend of mine
I bet that insult will soon
drift off like a blue balloon escaping from a child's hand
Share your feelings and good times, bad times, etc.!

Demons
demons are destructive being
they break everything insight
they come in all shapes and sizes
phlegmatic,,colored,ugly,horrible beings
demons are monsterous evil despising creatures who destroy and break everything
Ooh - strong words! What inspired you?
nothing really i was just angry at andrea in class and she was acting like a demon toward me so maybe that is what inspired me
:)
oh mr.byrd you should really try to design your profile page it seems pretty boring
Paul - good comment. Sometimes even friends can make you angry. It is great inspiration for a poem.
I know my profile is boring. I will think about changing it.
Christine Sewnarine-
BULLYING
Bullying is problems
that builds up inside you
It comes and goes
Its like demons chasing you
Or teasing you
Until you explode...
p.s. I am not talking about what happened. I know you are confused but that person knows who I am talking about.
Christine Sewnarine-
Mr.Bryd not to be mean or rude but I agree with Paul. I think you should add more color to your profile that way students or even other adults will be interested to write you =), no offence.
P.S- YOU ROCK!=}
Ok - thanks for the advice. Good poem, Christine. You don't have to reveal - I bet a lot of people can identify with you, though.
Great job!
here is another poem i wrote:
FALLEN ANGEL
I am the fallen angel
I have fallen from the sky
Fallen to the ground
I am the angel of lost hopes
Lost dreams
Please don't fear me
I'm here for a reason
I'm here for a second chance to live
THEY clipped my wings
And made me human
I won't make the same mistakes twice
I am the FALLEN ANGEL!
YOU LIKE IT?
IT TOOK ME LIKE 2 DAYS OF THINKING TO WRITE IT....I FINISHED IT TODAY?
Wow! You really wrote that? Wait until the others see it. I'm sure they will have nothing but praise. I hope you are saving these and making a collection. Perhaps we should great poem books in groups, or something like that.
Keep it up!
thank you mr.byrd...it means a lot coming from a teacher cause then i know that when i try i try hard...Also i do think we should make a book or collection of all the poems..
You are putting together some great writing! Do you see how you can continue to make a good poem even better? That's writing. When you find an idea that you really can embrace, spend the time to make it the best it can be.
As time goes by, you might find a poem from the past that you want to rebuild.
I'm sure you will be very impressed with yourself when you look back at your writing!
I'm out of here for now - believe it or not, I have homework!
Heres one of mine
The stars in the sky they call out your name
They ask you to open your heart to all love
They know that everything is just a game
For love allows you to join them high above
They know we are all one and love they do pour
Connecting them to us and everything there is
They cry for us as they see all of our wars
They hope that one day we will all see bliss.
Hi, everyone. Cool stuff!
love is a word of many connotations....
i love poetry. my favorite type is prose because you can write anything and then put it in a nice form.
once qgain,
Loveis a word of many connotations,
So diverse that from one moment to the
Next
You may not actually know of its existence.
If you have trouble with this poem,use the the t chart to decipher it. have fun!

Love
love is a sea of dreams,

but sometimes love can just be an illusion

Memory Lane
let's take a walk on memory
just the two of us
lt's take a walk on memory lane
watching as all the time we spent together
flashes by.
let's take a walk on memory
we don't have to talk,
it can be silent,
i promise.
let's take a walk on memory lane,
one last time before you have to go.
DOESN'T THIS POEM ROCH OUT LOUD????!!!!!
christine.s-
hey mr.bryd do you ike poetry?
by the way do you know what we are having for lunch?
The Window
Letting a small breeze in.
I peek out,hoping I'll see somthing
Or someone
But No
Nothing.
I feel trapped
I'm inside,
wishing I was outside.
I call for help.
No Answer.
Nothing.
Not a sound.

Destructive
destructive means being a demon
destructive means picking a fight
destructive means pushing everyone away
that is in sight
destructive means having no fun
destructive means not getting your way
destructive means being in a mood
so try to keep destructiveness away
There it took three of us a while but we did it!

mr. byrd this is so great you are a wounderful teacher!!!!!
Please pass the purple plate.
well I created a poem about anger
The anger inside me
Anger is deep within me
Anger is what I want to hear
Anger drives me crazy
Anger is what turns me on
Anger wants to kill me
Anger is what makes me mad
Anger inside me
Needs to stop
Broken
Set a flame
ripped apart
memory stains
a broken heart
what we see
are
the
remnants of the
broken
A mother's hug
A mother's hug is like kissing the moon,
A mother's hug is like touching a star shinig in the dark and dull night sky,
A mother's hug is like seeing a rose bloom,
A mother's hug is like something making you feel releif,
A mother's hug is the best thing you can ever ask for!
- Natasha*-*
Sadness
Sadness is driven to bad things
life tries to make you mad
then you become very sad
you can express sadness in many ways
sometime sadness could be a problem
but it comes from inside of you
sadness could brake out of you when ever it wants to
you try so hard to keep it in
but you can't help it when you start to cry
then you ask yourself why why why why
time is flying by
but you still need to cry
By: Tareeq
He was hungry as a bear,
He did'nt want to share
but his moma did,nt care
that he was hungry as a bear,
So he got mad and blew off to space,
And he was still hungry as a bear

My Teachers
My teacher are the best.

Their friendly and nice.

Here is another poem i wrote:
SADNESS
Sadness is a big pool of tears
Sinking into your eyes
It makes you wonder....
Was that person really my friend?
Or were they a fake?
Sadness is a humiliating person
Jumping into your mind and soul,
Filling you up with anger and frustration
It makes you think that this wasn't really
Worth putting your HEART into
When at the end
You get HURT
Sadness is a flickering ball of water
Waiting to burst in your face
It just waits there and bounces around...
Until you touch it
Then BOOM!!! It explodes
Filling yu with a HEARTACHE....
scFEELINGS
Peace is the bright moon smiling at you in the sky
Envy is a jealous person inside of you trying to reach out
Happiness is the orange sunset having a staring contest with you
Fear is a horrible nightmare reaching out to grab your hand
Anger is a burning ball of fire waiting to get in to your body
By:Rama123
I love your poem Tareeq
where did you get your ideas.
Point of air
The silence is deafening
it kills the air surrounding the pivet
of my
existence
in the mist a cry
fore help echos in my soul and
settles steady on my heart
by:tina thomas
Christine Sewnarine-
Wow! Ms.Shulman I love your poem. The words are really strong and have actuall meaning!
I have a poem of my own:
LOVE
LOVE is a passion of desire
that makes you go haywire
it's bigger than the roman empire
for some it's a summer breeze
but for others its no ease
love is special and sometimes flashes before your eyes
so enjoy it while you have it
(ps- I wrote this poem for poem in a pocket day so, if you think it needs some touches to be better you are more than welcomed to comment and by the way I am NOT in love=})
how rude you peoplez
well my poem is
friendship
friendship is being a good friend
they help you in struggles
plus they are the best
plus im sorry paul
that is a very funny poem dayshawn i like it especially the part when it says "he was hungry as a bear and didn't want to share"
what made you write that poem?
dear mr.byrd-

ANA BANANA THAT IS LOL
hey guys are you still on
For every song a voice will call.
For every hurt, there is laughter.
For every ending, there is ever after.
For every friend, there is a foe.
For every joke, there is a woe.
For every beginning, there is an end.
For everyone there is a friend.
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over I'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

life is nothing but heartbreak.
you live,
but for what?
you give love,

life is nothing but a tunnel.
a tunnel that never has a light filled tunnel .

Bad Days
Bad days are the worst days ever
Bad days are getting embarressed
Bad days are yelling, crying, hitting, and bothering
Bad days are getting blamed on
Bad days are getting into trouble
Bad days are having some trouble
Bad days are the worst days ever

Garcia
christine sewnarine-
Wow! Sandip you really touched me with that poem( not the one with your applejuice, but don't think I didn't like that one it was really good. it made me think you were very depressed over something really important, maybe should stop), i mean it was really touching. my favorite line was the last one "FOR EVERYONE THERE IS A FREIND" i'll remember that forever!
=)
oh hey jessica!
Hey Christine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice poems everyone but listen to mine...
We each have feelings, me and you,
Sometimes we're happy and sometimes we're blue.
When something scares us, we feel afraid,
We all feel proud of something we've made.
When we want to know more, we feel curious.
When we slip on the floor, we feel furious.
We sometimes feel lonely when there's nothing to do.
We sometimes feel hunger when there's nothing to chew.
We all feel excited when we make a new friend,
I'm feeling sorry 'cause my poem must end.
hey christene nice poem
Mad
smells like a fire burning a house down
tastes like sour cream
sounds like a bad temper
feels like bing inside a wall
feels like you are out of control
feels like a volcanoe erupting
Mad
hey everyone it is ANA BANANA LOL
nice poem haresh
that is true Mr.Bryd i do alot of things that may bother people and once again i'm sorry paul and i'm not a demon i'm a person
thanks nice poem yourself.
Here is a poem i wrote just now:
BULLYING
Bullying is a powerful fist coming towards you
It makes you sad and angry
You feel like your all alone in the world
And there is no one to help you
That is when life becomes useless and you lose all your friends
But, the only true wisdom is in knowing that they don't know how you feel...
They would be terrified and be filled with fear
They would try to run from their problems but can't
~ BECAUSE ~
Anywhere they go the problem is following them...
They just don't know that anger is a gigantic ball of fire stirring up inside of you..
CRITISIZE, BUT CRITISIZE GOOD....ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!1
thanks haresh read the one i wrote just know.......
Yeah!
who meee?
Yes. duhhhh
not meeeee!!!!!!!! it is ANDREA not ANASTASIA!!!! SEE THE DIFFERENCE AND IF YOU CAN'T READ IT AGAIN OK?
Beware the blustering bully
He'll push you where you stand
Hold tightly to the items you're holding
He'll knock them right from your hand
Pushing the door to leave
He'll push back and he'll demand
You let all you're carrying drop to the ground
On the beach, watch out! He throws sand.
He waits around every corner.
He's there when least expected.
If you spent a fortune to look your best
He'll mess you up if you aren't protected.
He whistles while he shoves you around.
Completely invisible, though you are pinned.
The cops can't help you, it's just his 'nature'
He means no real harm. He's the Wind.
My bad.
hey haresh wats up
Any one there?
Oh hi
Here's another one of my poem:
TEAMWORK
Teamwork is meant for all of us to work together
It is supposed to be five people working as one
Because there is no I in teamwork
i just wrote this :)
Teamwork means never having to take all the blame for yourself...
Nice poem
anyone there
WISDOM
Wisdom is a flickering brain waiting to be flicked into your head
Wisdon teaches you smartness and how to be wise and cool
It listens while knowledge speaks
It tells us our mind is like a parachute and doesn't work unless it is open
it teaches us that the best things in life are not things
And it whispers to us that a wise person doesn't need advice and a fool won’t take it....
if i am not speaking i am writing poems duh!!!!!!
anyone there?
kk me too bii bii
good poem Haresh but who did you write this poem for? hehehehe lol
Nice poem
thx u 2
Here is one of my poem:
THE 3RD OR 4TH POEM I MADE TODAY OUT OF THIN AIR...LOL
FEAR
Fear is a big infected rat slowly waiting to eat away your heart
Fear is a a pain being squeezed like play dough
I live in fear of dieing
I livine in fear whn walking the streets
I live in fear of water
Of drowning
I stay away from you
In fear of losing you
I live in fear of bleeding
I live in fear of my heart being stolen
I live in fear of hating myself
I live in fear because of fear...
POEMS
Poems are unique
WE let out our anger, sadness, and feelings
They let us say what we feel
But in a much shorter way
Poems are a short writing assignment waiting to hear what we have to say
They have different kinds
SO we can each express
Our feelings differently
Poems pour out onto us while showering
They pour out from parts unknown
Poems are free
And let us think more deeper thoughts
Poems are a pencil waiting to write down our amazing ideas
Great poetry and thoughts, but REMEMBER: If you post a poem you found on the Internet or somewhere else, please put the author or songwriter. Try to post your OWN feelings and WORDS.
They are wonderful and unique!
Christine S. – I like poetry – sometimes just a line cuts right to the heart. “Ain’t that the truth, “ I say.
I believe people tease each other because they are unsettled about themselves or something in their lives.
It is very common, even among adults. As you get older, it bothers you less because you become more aware of yourself and more secure. I know it stinks.
Tina – “Broken” - Is that yours?
Krystal – Great poem – If you want to improve it, take your time. Come back to it with new eyes.
Good Natasha! Though I haven’t seen any metaphors from you yet!
Tareeq – Good sadness poem!
Dayshawn – That’s cute! Now give us something deeper!
Anastasia – Good sadness poem. You were definitely thinking of something or someone I’m sure. I think it is good that you are letting those
Rama – Your happiness metaphor is perfect!
Andrea – Cute one and nice comment!
Jessica – “Bad Days” – good poem. You might want to take out all of the bad days except for in the title. Then take out the small words like “are.”
Sadness
sadness is a deep pool druning your heart
it takes you apart
minute by minute
it is like living in a world of no hope
Sarita - Great one. Love those two lines that rhyme! Great rhythm on it, too!
Dear Mr. Byrd,
Thankyou for replying and whenever I get teased on i'll remember what you said. i'll never forget you!=)
FROM- CHRISTINE SEWNARINE
You're welcome, Christine S. Keep up the good work and posting!
The rose is a symbol of love, love is filled with happiness and joyness, love can also be filled with pain like thorns on a rose

I might be weird,but I'm still my self
I might be loud,but I'm still myself
I might be athletic,bit I'm still my self
I might be not you,but I'm still myself
I might be smart,but I'm still myself
I might be Miss.Sunshine,but I'm still myself
I might be nit the one,but I'm still myself
I might be artistic,but I'm still myself
So,why do you want me to change?
You shouldn't change someone or somebody,by the way they are. So I know who I want to change,.........
ME,MYSELF,AND I and ALWAYS!
RESPECT
Respect is when you respect your peers
Respect is when we respect eachother
Because if we don't respect eachother
How can we respect ourselves?
Respect is wehn we respect our beliefs
Respet is when we respect our paRents, grandparents, friends, and teachers
RESPECT IS WHEN WE RESPECT US...

MEMORIES
Memeories are meant to be savored and carefully cared for
They should be written in a ournal waiting to to remind you of all the good times you have had
Memories are a time when something went good or bad
Memories are your birthay, your FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL OR MORE
SO LET'S TAKE A WALK DOWN MEMORY AISLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE
Love is the most beautiful thing in the human body
Sometimes if you’re not careful it could burst out and ruin your life
But that is how life goes
But if you be careful love could fall into place just how you want it to
Then you’re your life is the wonderful thing that you want it to be
OK MONICA I WILL TRY I MADE LIKE 13POEMS ALREADY AND I DONT KNOW HOW LOL

Sadness
Sadness is a painful cry forming in your heart.
Sadness is a painful stab going through your heart.
Sadness is a lonesome pool of tears forming in your mind.
Sadness is a lonesome pool of tears fading on you.
Sadness is really painful.
- Japneet Kaur
Anger
Anger is a hot bowl of fire flaming in your heart.
Anger is a hot ring of flames swirling around in your head.
Anger is a ring of hot burning flames coming towards you.
Anger is Anger!!!
-Japneet Kaur
Japneet I love your poems. If i was writing about anger and sadness I would totally describe it the way you did!
Nice poem Japneet, I really liked how you wrote it out. And I think for my opinion, I think you showed a lot of emotions, and I also think that you put yourself into the poem that you wrote!
Good job in this poem!
Come up with more! -_-
Your's Truly,

Some are kind,

Annoyed
I get annoyed when I have alot of homework,
I spend the night multiplying.
I get annoyed when my friends and I fight,
I spend the night crying.
I get annoyed when someone yells at me.
I spend the night wimpering.
I get annoyed when I have to babysit.
I spend the night changing diapers.

DEATH
So painful, so alone
It feels like a piece of my heart flew away
All I can say is god took her away
My mind is full of darkness
And my heart is left alone
I don’t know what to do
Just cry all day
~by Pardeep Kaur
My favorite person
She was my favorite
We always stayed together
like sisters
We were always sharing secrets
And wore the same clothes
We used to be perfect
But suddenly she disappeared
And left me my heart alone
She left me in darkness
With a bowl full of sadness
mr.byrd....know i know how to comment on this....i think blogging was a gooood idea....
