Multicultural Poem

 We have been learning a lot about poem. We each wrote a poem.

Here is the poem 

Poem - Body Love/Shame

Your are body image bully,

A corrupt cop without a bandage

Who enjoys policing curvy women's bodies.

Your are quick to falsely accuse

Curvy women of being obese

Because they match your description of unhealthy

Who gave you the right

To shame others for their image

Not knowing what they're going through

I´ve witness the way you´ve tease

Full-figured women

With your words,

And attempt to hand-cuffed their self-esteem

You should be convicted

Of body image abuse

Curves are not a crime,

Being full-figured is not a felony,

And self love is not against the law.

Love yourself and be who you are.

Don´t be too quick to judge.

My Poem

Boys fighting behind the workshops,

Bosses shouting "Chop, chop!"

Kids roaming around the streets,

Teenage boys getting the beats.

Police sirens wailing all around,

Everyone's feet, thumping against the ground.

People walking in & out,

"Son, son!" I can hear a women shout.

The End

Write a short poem about the Coronavirus. We can share this with Megan.

I’m a small thing,

I love to make trouble.

Seeing people suffer,

Is what I adore most.

Everyone wants me gone,

And everyone dislikes me.

I can kill the innocent,

But they’ll never survive me.

Older people die from me,

Younger people can survive from me.

My name is Coronavirus,

But I’m known as COVID-19.

Poetry = No. 2

Rising up from my sleep,

I can hear my phone go beep.

Floorboards creaking,

Running through the corridor.

Footsteps louder than mine,

Birds chirping from outside.

I feel the sun’s warmth,

Coming from the East and not the North.

Tree leaves resting against the wind,

Sea waves crashing against each other.

Today and tomorrow will be perfect,

In the trees I can find insects.

The End:)

Poetry No. 1

Racism

Black People being blamed, 

White people throwing them flames.

Donald Trump sitting in his chair, 

white people giving them stares.

White or black, 

I really don’t care, 

God says we all should be fair.

Accepting people should be our goal,

George Floyd had a good soul.

Murdering someone is a sin,

Our bullies shall not win.

“I can’t breathe” is what he said,

Poor George laying in his deathbed.

As he took his last breath,

Who now will be put to death?

Black Lives Matter,

Black people’s hearts shatter.

It is that time of the year.

where people stand and cheer.

Dreams of Olympic gold.

Stories will soon be told.

Athletes give it their all.

As the world watches in awe!

Let’s support the home team.

As they live out their childhood dreams.

So let the games begin!

The world, as one, will win!

ANZAC Poem

They answered our call, with mighty hearts they

took a stand, in the pursuit of liberty, they died on foreign land.

Those that made it home, carry a burden

within their soul, more years behind them now, yet stories remain untold.

We may never understand it, few hearts can

comprehend, the courage one must possess, to rise and take a stand.

So I ask of you this, dear friends and family,

how will you remember this most carrest legacy?

Will you bow your head in silence, offer a

silent prayer let’s honour all they’ve sacrificed, for the freedoms we hold dear.
