Poetry Explosion.
The boys at Alverta Bolick had a wonderful Saturday with a visit from a local poetry teacher. They made their own poetry books and learned about different types of poetry and the five senses that can be displayed through their words. The following are some of the poems that were created by each resident. Get ready… they are incredible! What a talented group of men we have at this home.
Bumblebee’s- Russel C.
I don’t like hornets nests
because they sting
i don’t like bumblebees
because i got stung once
i was outside one time and the bee was coming
straight into my hand, I hit the bumblebee
and walked into the house
to tell my mom
there are bees outside.

“My Mother”- Rob P.
My mother is really special to me
she smiles at me and my heart melts with joy.
She use to teach at Weaverville Primary
i love her with all of my heart.
She helps me when i feel scared.
My mother comforts me.
She always gives me hugs.

“On this hot day”- Alex P.
On this hot day, a pool would be refreshing.
I like jumping off the diving board
the water feels good.
When I jump off the diving board, I feel good
knowing I will land in a pool.
I tried to do a dive off a diving board
but it turned into a belly flop by mistake.
