My Poets

Here are some highlights of all different flavors from the poetry (some haiku) that my students wrote this week:

Can love be paid in installments?
I mean, if possible, I'd like to live with you
in 2000-year installment plan.

****

His mind: "I like her.
She is so hot to me.
She approached like a wind."

Her mind: "I hate him.
He is so oily to me.
I felt him like a butter."

****

Man love Jane.
She loves another man.
The sad one sided love.

****

My mother told me
"You're my valuable son
but ... you look like anchovy"

****

I envy that girl
I want to meet mate quickly
But I must study

****

Under the blue sky
We have best time in my car
So, where are my shoes?

****

On the blue ocean
My great villa is sailing.
Mine's bigger than yours!

****

I stand on the road
I want to leave my footprints
In the fresh green world

****

People love money
So they cut wood for money
A forest destroy

****

It smells wonderful.
I'm falling in love with it.
I love you, coffee.

****
And a group poem put together for a class activity:

When I met you,
You came to me, coolly.

When I saw you,
You looked like shiny jewelry.

When I kissed you,
I felt you smelled so sweetly.

When I dropped you,
Opps! Oh my Baskin Robbins!

****

And some reactions when I asked them to write about writing poetry:

"This work is really gratifying and worthwhile. I have not labored in vain."

"I don't like poetry so I hate writing poetry absolutely. Poetry is too difficult to me. I learned America and Britain poetry last semester. At that time, I was so hard. I learned Haiku. I think that Haiku is very interesting. I was so good because I studied with American native teacher. Although poetry is too hard, I love this class! :) Thank you for your teaching! :)"

"I don't like writing poetry. Because I never experience write poetry. I haven't a taste for literature. But I like rhyme of music. Thank you for Kelly."

"Professor Kelly: I like this time. I can think a lot of idea. When I presented my poetry, I'm so brave. I look like I'll become a poet. I read only Korean poetries but now I'm going to see American poetries. It's fresh."

"I like about writing poetry because my mind become peaceful."

"I love music. Music sameness poetry. I love poetry. I'm troublesome choose words and grammar is difficult, the rules of spelling, but I love poetry. Thank you my poetry teacher."
