This one is a cinquain (5 lines, syllables 2-4-6-8-2).
Auggie,
With heart of gold,
Face-to-face with bullies –
Being himself for his own sake
And theirs.

Day 11 – Poetry Month (Limerick)
Med Head: My Knock-down, Drag-out, Drugged-up Battle with My Brain by James Patterson
There once was a young man named Cory,
Who had a triumphant story –
Tourette’s, OCD,
Mixed with anxiety-
Tough love (not the meds) brought him glory.
Poetry Month – Day 8
This is a Kyrielle poem in response to Sharon Draper’s most recent book Panic (which I began and completed today).
DIAMOND
Though people tell of the danger,
Say “Never talk to a stranger”,
It was in public – light of day,
So She went with him anyway.
He was professionally dressed,
His intentions kept full at bay,
He portrayed a family-man (blessed)
So She went with him anyway.
She didn’t have nary a clue
Of the nasty things he would do,
Or the way the acts he’d display,
So She went with him anyway.
He claimed a daughter and a wife,
His evil plan not on display.
She wasn’t concerned for her life,
So She went with him anyway.
Hello world!
This blog will cover books that I have completed reading, and my rating of such. My intention is to enable students to find books they may enjoy. My other purpose is to remember some details about the books after I have read them, given that I am reading so many, so rapidly. When I list ages or grade ranges for the books, these are not reading levels. Reading levels do not account for interests and appropriateness for a given reader. For example, a ten-year-old who can read at a 12th grade reading level, should not be reading about affairs and politics just because he/she can. Likewise, and adult with a lower reading level is probably not interested in reading about a child’s kindergarten class.
