Birthdays

I love, love, love birthdays, so I wrote a poem about it. Ta-da! 

Birthdays

Birthdays are exciting

They're a very special time

A specific day to celebrate

Be you sixty-two or nine

I like to make a big deal

Of other people's days

Because when people make a big deal

Of mine, my day is made

We set this day aside 

To help them know they're loved

It's only once a year

So why not make a fuss? 

Next time it's someone's birthday

Do all you can

To make them feel way special

Go all out with your plans! 

It's obviously not my best poem, but I liked it enough to share. :) Love you all! 

Life of the Theatre

In one of my classes this year we had to write a free verse poem about something we love. I picked acting and this poem is one I wrote for the class. I know this is the first poem I have posted that doesn't rhyme, but, oh, well. :)

Life of the Theatre

The actors walk on stage

The audience stares

Quiet fills the room

Those acting inhale

The audience waits

The house is held in suspense

Actors bring the script to life

The audience laughs and cries

The room is filled with emotions

At the end, joy overcomes the actors

The audience walks forward to shake hands

And the theatre is quiet again 

Peter Pan

I love to act and a few years ago, I got cast as Peter Pan in our co-op's play. In one of my classes this year we had to write a sonnet about something we love. I picked acting and this poem is one I wrote for the class.

Peter Pan

I enter on the stage

I act as Peter Pan

Speak the script, page by page

Get it right, for all the fans

I crow out loud

Kid’s eyes shine

Pan is proud

His face is mine

I do my best

To play the part

Kids do the rest

Their imaginations start

     Then it’s done

     This ends the fun
