PD6: Kylar Kelly

I remember first seeing that gigantic 150 foot wide tree
The way the smell of freshly cut grass tickled my nose
And how the flowers smelled overly sweet
I remember the ice-cold water sliding down my  throat
Like a snake sliding down my throat, killing the stinging feeling in the back of my throat
The leave's touch floating across my face
A cat seemed to be rubbing against my cheek
I remember the neon green of the  leaves and the deep,brown of the bark
How the leaves looked like fireworks and the bark like chocolate
Each time I recall this memory I feel a deep sense of  joy
Fluttering throughout my brain
I always feel so at peace whenever I think back to that, warm July day

Prd1 Frankie Aguilar found poem

Warm summer days

Become hot summer days

cool nights remind 

   

 me of being far

from home that each 

passing day seemed to drift 

away I pushed aside the

fear that I might never 

see my parents again 

PD 2:Krystelle M

It’s Okay

White flakes

Powdery sand

Floating in the air

Fell to the ground

A sharp pain

sliced through my heart

staring at the intricate shapes

I never knew

A sweater

boots

coat

and scarf

and yet

I was still freezing

At home

a light sweater

was all I needed

A half-hearted smile

but I couldn’t shake

my dreariness

But

The aroma of cinnamon

The evergreens

draped with icicles

The soft kisses

sent from heaven

reminded me

everything would be alright

Inspired by Christina Diaz Gonzalez’s the Red Umbrella

When moving to America, Lucia had to her new life and let go of her family, friends and home. I chose this section of the book, The Red Umbrella because it demonstrates the moment where Lucia and Frankie accept their new home and let go of their old life in Cuba. This scene where it starts to snow was full of melancholy and description when Lucia started to remember her parents and home in Cuba. She describes how she felt a sharp pain in her heart when she realized that she would be making new memories without her mom or dad. Although it was her birthday, Lucia had a hard time accepting her new life. Even so, she remembered that everything would be okay and accepted her new home.

Max Reed

Forgiveness

We slowly walked toward the house

Like dogs about to get a beating.

When we were about ten feet away

She wiped out a greed hose.

She took aim at Frankie who ran around

Then I ran along with Frankie.

We all laughed some more

Forgiveness covered me like a warm blanket. 

1. The reason I choose this is it shows the exeptents of Mrs Baxter not punishing Frankie and Lucia. 

Maddie B I Remember Poem

I Remember

 I remember the first time I saw the sparkling lights of Disney World

The way the air smelled like oranges

And how everyone of my taste buds watered as I thought of other foods and fruits

I remember mint chocolate chip ice cream melting in my mouth

like tiny snowflakes landing on my tongue

Confetti touched my shoulders gently raining down from the sky

I remember a large assortment of neon lights covering floats as they paraded down the street

 How the people waved at me

Each time I recall this memory I feel so calm and thankful

eating icecream might be great but spending time with family is priceless!

then Donald Trump came

so  uh this is just me talking about life

I had a great one then

Donald Trump came

He goes like I can build a website  for $3 oh ho ho I'm so great, yeah, lets play my board game that's extremely similar to monopoly ohhhhh i'm so great.

you're no great man trump

A Found Poem

Merry Christmas

both with a hug

opening our gifts

Santa brought

anything

all full of dust

the red stocking

hung on the fireplace

slipped his stocking off

down into it.

This scene was chosen from the book because it shows how Lucia and Frankie experience their first Christmas. This shows empathy and tolerance because Mr and Mrs. Baxter are giving Frankie and Lucia the experience of Christmas. This is showing how they felt and what the scene looked like. It also shows some touch because it says “slipped his stocking off.” These are the reason of why I did this and how it shows empathy and tolerance.

I remember playing basketball with my grandpa.

The way the bonfire’s ash hung in the air.

And how the aroma of sunscreen lingered in my nostrils.

I remember the watermelon we ate.

Like we picked it from our backyard.

The basketball’s touch as it rolled off my fingers was a rocket taking off.

I remember the sunlight reflected off the backboard

How the glare made it hard to shoot.

Each time I recall this memory I am happy.

remembering this makes me glad he visits us.

Playing basketball with my grandpa was one of my favorite childhood memories.

Finn Robertson "I Remember" Peom

I Remember Poem

I remember when I made dinner with my parents

The way the grilled chicken smelled great

And how the cooked peppers and onions smelled sweet

I remember the sound of the lettuce wrap crunching in between my teeth 

like packing down a snow ball

the pan's touch had hot and sizzling 

water becoming vapor.

I remember the toppings all layed out ready to be grabbed

how the food was so colorful.

Each time I recall this memory, my mouth starts to water,

mind glancing I look deeply onto this memory

making me love cooking food

Zachary J English PD1 Found poem

Cuban feeling
Warm summer days,
becoming hot summer weeks,
and cool nights were a reminder that I was far from home.

A home,
that each passing day,
seemed to drift farther away.

Pushing aside the fear that I might never see me parents again,
but the hope that we’d be going back,
was quickly fading.

They are feeling empathetic towards their parents because they are still in Cuba. They are wishing their parents were with them, because they are feeling free from Castro. They are learning a new language, getting a better education, and they do not have to follow harsh rules. Lucia and Frankie are living with a foster family that is very nice and caring to them. The Baxters helped them learn their way around in Nebraska they learned how to farm and do other fun activities. They are hoping to see their parents. but, they are also getting calls from their parents about coming to America one day. Lucia and Frankie found a great deal of empathy for their parents, and wondered if they would ever get the chance to experience the freedom that they feel.

PD. 1 Hoey, Patrick Intro to Climbing Trees

I smell the pine needles of the tree
and the feel of the sap
like sticky ice cream

melting on a hot summer day

I sense the branch snapping
and jump to the next one

I make sure the branch is stable,
before I get too comfortable
because if not, it won't be fun.

I Remember Poem

I remember riding my bike with my friends

The way the wind was in my face 

and how nie the day was

I remember the sounds of tires of the ground

Like exploding fire crackers

The handle bars touch in my hands

like a rocket preparing for take off

I remember the trees and cars passing by

how the green leaves caught my eye

Each time I recall this memory it brings me back to my old neighorhood

peddling fast with my best friends

I cant beleive its been three years

PD:2 Amna F.

Red is a revolutionary color.

A symbol of strength, is all it represents.

Soldiers everywhere. Every street, corner and park.

How nervous they make me feel.

Flyers concerning youth movement.

Head lines read how the

CTC supports the nationalization of private schools.

(Inspiration from the "Red Umbrella.")

This poem that was created is explaining how Lucia's parents are against the revolution. It's explaining how the revolution is changing everyone's way of thought. Even Lucia's mom is thinking about how it's conquering everything, even something as small as a color. How it's dragging young people into making decisions that they don't even understand. This poem is showing empathy and tolerance by teaching people not to just go with what's happening only because other people are doing it. The example it gives is hat Lucia wants to join the revolution only because her friends are doing it. The message from this text might be to follow your own oath and not to be influenced by what other people say. In conclusion, empathy and tolerance can be expressed in may ways. This is just one.

I Remember Poem

 

 

I remember the snow days

The way the Yankee candles smelled like winter

And how the tree smelled like peace

I remember the yearning of a Christmas dinner I almost tasted

Like trying to reach a star but never getting closer

Pine needles' touch with a sappy feel

was like petting a porcupine.

I remember the white fluffy snow drifting down

How the snow clung onto the lights everywhere.

Each time I recall this memory, my face reveals a smile,

snowing we would sled and drink hot cocoa all day long

I will always remember my white snow days

I Remember Poem

I remember sledding in the willows

The way the camps I made were

And how fast I went.

I remember the very steep part of the hill

Like the steep side of a cliff

sled's touch and holding the grips of the sled

flying down a hill like a meteor coming down.

I remember flying off my sled and falling into the snow

How the sting was on my face.

Each time I recall this memory, I'm happy,

thinking about those times are good

I will always remember the willows

PD3 Alex M I Remember Poem

I remember My house

The way the flowers smelled

and how it was peaceful

as normal as normal

door's touch was hard

and wooden

How the stairs were boring

Each time I feel Thoughtful

Housing was nice 

I'm done with this

Pd 3: Martin, K- I remember poem

I remember going to Wilson Park in the dead of winter.

The way the air smelled of the previous snow

and how I could smell the distant scent of pizza.

I remember empty taste the cold left in my mouth

almost like ice water.

The swing's touch, freezing cold, 

but familiar as always.

I remember looking at the small lake ahead,

how the front half was covered in ice.

Each time I recall this memory, I remember the loneliness,

absorbing the calming yet almost bleak space.

It was almost as if I had seen an old friend,

but forgotten who they were.

Pd2: Paul D.

I remember being in the Adirondack Mountains

The way the stuffed pine pillows smelled

And how the campfire smoke filled the air

I remember the sweet corn-on-the-cob

Like a mountain of yellow kernels

The water's touch swimming around me

An oasis in a desert

I remember the island in the water

How the birds flew around it, landing on the rocks

Each time I recall this memory, I feel happy that I'll see it again soon,

Fire crackling as I'll sit by the campfire again.

This memory makes me happy and calm whenever I think about it.

Pd2; Izzy TP Remember Poem

I remember flying down a hill 
the way the wind stung my nostrils
and how the warmth of the sun shrunk my lungs.
I remember the way the honeysuckle tasted during breaks,
like a ghost of honey on silk. 
the scooter's touch was of all the force of a viper, as it came crashing down on young ankles. 
It was met only by a soft gasp and poorly concealed grunt of pure agony. 
I remember the way all the diffirent shades of gray of the hot, cracked pavement blended to one
how the backdrop seemed to warp and stretch as the wind tried to catch me in its arms. 
Each time I recall this memory, I think about my past homes, nostalgia and warmth creeping through my being, as I recall the icy bite of the wind and the andrenaline rushing through my pounding heart. 
Whenever I'll look back, I'll remember my many homes, and how the pinnacle of my day was to forget for just a second that I was unhappy. 

Pd:6 Alex J I remember poem

I remember I got to help work in my grandparents candy store.
the way the fudge smelled so good,
and how the caramel corn was freshly made.
I remember the way the boardwalk crunch taste
like chips in your mouth.
the fudge's touch was melting away.
it was lava in your hand.
I remember the stack of all the jelly bean flavors you can image,
how the customers wanted every single flavor there.
Each time I recall this memory, I think about my grandparents
walking into the back to do more work,
getting ready to start another day of making everything.

I Remember Poem

I remember falling through a trampoline

the way the hot dogs smelled in the background

And how the gasps splinted the air

I remember the grilled cheese at the schappell's

Like Grandmas toast on Sunday

The spring's touch ripping my skin apart

It was a knife like sensation

I remember the blood drenched white t-shirt

How the stitches pierced my leg

Each time I recall this memory, I feel shocked that it happened

Head spinning, I still don't understand it

Through my life, I still remember this clearly
