Class Poetry Slam #1

My block class teacher recently started doing poetry slams with his class. The first one we had was on last Monday... Here's my poem:

*

Just A Dream
*
Ivy cascading down hillsides
Birds chirp in the trees
Talking of the blazing fire
That legend says will come from the sea
*
Waves whisper words to one another
As the sun beats down
Shining light on the sparkling water
While the trees on the shore sway in the breeze
*
Bees and bugs buzz
Their abstract colors hard to see
As the night falls on the ocean
Cool waves of water
Turn to raging flames of heat
*
But as the fire wreaks havoc here
There along the beach
The flames sputter out
And a crying bird says,
"That fright was just a dream."
*

We had twelve words... The ones in italics are the ones that I used in my poem.

The next post is going to be the poem from our second class poetry slam...

Bye!
