One Last Time

One last time Room 12 has composed a pretty special poem. We read The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. We are continuing to do learning of the highest quality, I am so proud of this class.

Changed
Room 12

Clouds raining drops of courage
Upon the heads of the brave
Two paths diverged 
And we took a different one
Seeking challenges and treasures.

This path was full of snaking tree roots
They made us fall and stumble
But we rose stronger
Vines pulled us back
Our strength of character prevailed
We changed.

 

Changed

Molly

I stare

Two long roads

Leading to adventure.

I take a step

Where no one dared to step.

Then another

Pulling me

I can't resist.

I dive

Into a lake of rose petals

Flying.

The wind blows my hair

Clouds loom

But no,

I keep walking.

 

  

Diverged

Rosie

Grey clouds loom

As drops of courage

Fall.

Two roads diverged

One a field of daisies,

The other

A dark,

Tangled

Forest

Of gloom.

I step forward

A feeling of oblivion overwhelms me.

My instincts overflow

As I step to the right

I look around,

Nervous

I breathe in

And enter the darkness that awaits me.

Not a sound to be heard

Except wolves howling

I flinch

As a rustle is heard

A pair of yellow eyes follow me.

This path with lots of bends

Seeking challenge and risk

But I rise stronger,

Still

My mind daring,

Personality glowing.

I step into a dark,

Dark clearing

And see a ball of light

Float towards me,

Slowly,

Slowly,

Slowly... 

Changed

Sam D

Courage surges throughout my veins

A shiver runs up my spine

I want to turn back

But my legs refuse

I move one

Down the track that bandits roam.

The path turns dark, blackness strikes

But I don't stop

My bravery pulls me on.

I've changed, haven't I?

 

 

Courage

Ella

Two roads diverged

One with daisies

The other without 

I take my pick.

Clouds loom

The wind pulls me

No love

No sun.

I slowly move forward

The wind haunts me

Closer and closer

Until it takes me. 

Courage

Oliver

Two roads diverged in a shining forest

One had footprints on it, the other didn't

An overgrown ground on one

A clear path on the other.

I step closer to the unknown path

An odd moaning comes from the distance

Beckoning me, I shuffle closer

A gust of wind blows me back

But I struggle on.

Snaking tree roots wrap across the path

I stumble but get up ever time

I continue on into the dangerous path

Struggling through darkness.

 

 

Success

Madoka

Two paths diverged

One path filled with happiness and flowers

The other filled with darkness and threats.

My feet take me to the path of flowers

But my heart stops me

With shaking knees I take a step forward

Where no one has ever stepped.

I start walking

My thoughts tangled

Pulled back by vines

But I rise back each time.

My character offended

A tear trickles down my cheek

I take a deep breath

Clutching hold of each precious day.

A streak of success

That no one has ever seen

I smile

A long, true smile. 

Paths

Alisha

As I follow the crowd

I find a different path

Clouds cover it

I take a step, two steps forward

Into darkness.

A little light shines in the distance

I step forward

Little sounds shiver up my spine

Music to my ears.

I see a whole lot of fireflys

Coming my way

I run.

 

The Paths

Leighton  

The paths we walk

Clouded by the mist

In my head.

Mixed emotions confuse my thoughts.

The path we walk

Stones on the long narrow road

Tripping me up.

As I ponder

A clearing in my mind appears.

The path we walk

Opens the light

Of bravery. 

 

Difference

Tanaya

Two roads diverge

In the hands of courage

Filling up the clouds with the soul

As I walk down, oblivious to the fact that someone is watching me

A pair of purple eyes follow me as I walk

A double door opens into silence

The paper flies into my hands

And as I walk

Slowly and slowly

The walls turn.
