A good reason on being Grateful.

Grateful for Life
By: Phoenix Roberts

I am grateful for Liberia and Africa.
For my furry, fat dog, Ember,
and my sweet brown dog, Everest.

I am grateful for the Kelp Forest whose kelp protects endangered sea creatures.

For Mom, Dad, Kirin, Gramma, Pop Pop and Lala
who always love, encourage, and support me.

I am grateful for football, basketball, and marine biology,
and the inspiring song “Hard Times” by Tom Morello.

For my Grandma’s delicious Jollof Rice and my Mom’s rich pumpkin pie.
Most of all, I am grateful as can be when our families gather to celebrate with each other.

spring

Delicate petals and soft flowers
Are cozy seats for bugs
Bees eat the delicious nectar
off the flowers.

Nora touched all my senses with the sun, the flowers with the delightful smells, the cozy soft petals, the thunder! Very well written and takes the reader to the beautiful setting created by the poem.

Wonders of Nature

I can imagine the scene with the animals playing by the creek.
Amazing how she talks about saying goodbye to childhood being a child herself! Time does go by fast.

I love this poem because by the end, I realize that she’s making a subtle but powerful connection between the animals she writes about and childhood. I first visualize animals playing but by the end I visualize children instead. It brings nostalgia to the reader and is very powerful!

What a powerful and perfect simile to compare friendship to a seed! Both are powerful and life affirming, and I love how the author uses the word “deep” both literally for a seed, and metaphorically for friendship. Very honest and powerful!

spring

A beautiful poem, because it transports the reader to that essence of spring, that we all know and love. I can see and smell all the sites. My favorite part is how she compares the petals of flowers to being cozy seats for bugs. Wonderful imagery and use of metaphors.
