This was a great poem! Everyone can relate to it and it forces the reader to really think. It has a great meaning and i'll prolly be up all night thinking about it, lol
I enjoyed reading your poem, Kevin. One comment from your former ELA teacher: Capitalize your "I". Unless you are going for an e.e. cummings thing; in which case all of your "I"s should be uniformly lowercased!!!! ;o) Great work! I love reading th...
can’t breath,
fight back,
losing battle,
need help.
looks around,
nobody there,
taken over,
given in,
Surrounded but whispers still get through,
“Head Towards the light, the dark has no place here.”
Deep Breathe,
Closed Eyes,
Fights Back,

You need to get up,
but you don't know the way,
You look for help,
but you are blind to it.

nobody gets it,
they don't understand,
but you don't let them in,
so should you expect them to?

This is good! I like the message, about turning away from the things that don't work and finding a better way to go, regardless of whether or not that's going against the flow. Well done! The lightness of the lines is good and the metaphors made w...
When the pillars of my life began to fall,
I did not stay to watch them,
I merely turned,
and walked away.
I don't know where
This path will lead me,
But,
This is the path I've chosen.
Everyone around me
Is swept up in a mighty current,
I simply...
Thanks for sharing your writing here, Kevin. It's neat to see people from different parts of the globe beginning to connect with one another. Is Mr. Currin a teacher of yours?
Hi Kevin, Welcome to our corner of the Web. I read your poem 'Life'. Very thought provoking. Amber, who left a comment, is one of my students. She's an excellent writer. You should try and encourage her to start sharing some of her poetry here too.

Hi Kevin, welcome to WT2MAD. It's wonderful that you have joined Rob's Global Poetry Group and started contributing right away. Let me know if I can support your efforts in any way.
Fill up your flask, and fill it up fast.
You think you can drink it all away.
I know you feel it's not a big deal,
but i will take this to my grave,
the distance grew further, as your heart froze cold,
dont act love you love me, cause you barely k...
Hi Daniel, I think you've learned a thing or two by doing the 25 days to make a difference program. It's a great lesson to learn at your age. Thank you for sharing your reflections with us.
This is a post that was submitted by Daniel, one of my grade 5 students. The students have been challenged to write about their efforts to do at least one good deed per day, but Daniel took it a step farther and reflected on why we're doing this i...

As the students are preparing their reflections and writing responses to Three Cups of Tea, I have found it to be very interesting the connections they have made. The text to world, text to self and text to text connections are unique and personal...
Congratulations Erik!
The things you chose to do made a huge difference for the people in your life and probably put a smile on their faces and in their hearts!
What would happen if everybody (in the whole world) decided to do something thoughtful...

Take me in the month of May to the meadow
Where the grass is cool and green,
The prettiest picture I've ever seen
And that cold concrete can't scratch my feet
and I can lay and pray
and maybe find some sweet relief
You know I'v...
