Student poet

I am happy to post a poem written by one of our Grade 4 students shared by Ms. Terje their homeroom teacher.
It is amazing how well this young author describes reading using metaphors and sophisticated vocabulary. I will be looking forward hearing, reading and posting this young man's work in the future.

Enjoy!

Reading is

endless joy.

Fun waits

between covers.

Enjoyment time.

In my opinion

it is a cage

trapping you

into the story.

An amusement for life,

a friend with many gifts,

a charm

keeping boredom away.

Different world

grasps you and

sucks you

into a land of adventures.

  2. I love the word choice in this poem! In particular the metaphor of a book as "a charm / keeping boredom away." Fantastic.
