"Hold fast to dreams"
From my students’ “Renaissance” writings at IS 392K in response to “Dreams” by Langston Hughes:
“Hold fast to dreams
because when you make your wish
life is a lay up
so listen to my swish” - T.M.
“Hold fast to dreams
when it comes true
You’ll be like a kid
at a McDonald’s drive thru” - R.C.
“Life is an evergreen that will forever grow
Life is a stream that will always flow
Dreams are a hideaway from reality
Dreams are a cave of light and privacy.” - O.T.
From my students’ “Renaissance” writings at IS 392K in response to “Dreams” by Langston Hughes.
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

"A Poem as Big as NYC" (So *that's* how NYC was made!)
Untitled
by Christian, 5th grade
A spelling bee was walking down a country
road when he came across a cannon. The
bee was feeling very creative, so he started
thinking of a poem. But when he had thought
of one, he couldn’t write it anywhere, so instead,
he wrote it in the cannon. Then, by accident,
he lit the fuse and shot the cannon. And it
shot the poem into the sky. Now this was a
HUGE poem. But when it rained, part of the words
soaked into the ground, and from that
New York City rose out of the Earth.
But still the words were in the sky.
