Where Poetry Hides...

By: English 7 (3rd hour-09)

in the woods

outside in the sky

in my dog hiding his bone

in my anger

in books

in photographs

under bear paws

down by the river

deep in the sea

in the cow barn

in the clouds and the sun

in the people around me

in all wild animals

in sports

in the wilderness

in the classroom

in the back of my brain

in the barn with the animals

on my walls

in anything unexpected

wherever life takes you!

Where Poetry Hides...

By: English 7 (4th hour-09)

under my bike tires

as I race along the road

in my favorite songs

on tv and in video games

outdoors where I play

with my animals

in the funny things my pets do

on the flying purple people eater's toe

behind my eyes

in the rattle of my toolbox

in the blue smoke of my lawnmower

in my fort in the woods

in the back of my head

with the animals in the woods

in church every Sunday

outside on the pond

on other people's papers

on the Internet

in the darkness

and everywhere in between!

Where Poetry Hides...

By: English 7 (3rd hour-08)

in a shoe

in the grass

in the library

on the football field

on vacation

in a golf ball

within my family

on a blank sheet of paper

at Walmart

in books

in sports

in being by myself

in the barn

in a dog's cage

in a book

on the softball diamond

in wood from ancient times

in rivers forever raging

atop the Smokey Mountains

in my closet

in my room

in my house

in a desert

in a swimming pool

on the basketball court

on a dirtbike

in a boat

in the reel of my pole

in your eyes

in fields and pastures

in my head!

Where Poetry Hides...

By: English 7 (4th hour-08)

in the mud

on my Yamaha Raptor 700

in my truck

in the pasture

in the clouds with the rain

while 4-wheeling

in a book

in my Gamecube controller

in sports

in the barn

in shopping

underneath my bed

in my room

on the phone

in my locker

on my horse's back

in a bar of soap

in the grass of a football field

in the sun

on the Earth

in my backyard

up a tree

in my dog

in my new golf clubs

outside on a nice day

in writings on your hands

on signs

everywhere!
