Poetry and art go hand in hand; in fact, a poem is just art in the written form.
The Death of My Senses
My reflection? Something I’ve always had an affinity for, before I head out the door I’m sure to check my face, hair and teeth, fresh and clean the way I wish to be perceived on the outside at least but could honestly care less about what I have put inside it. For someone who focuses so much on himself, I find it a little ironic he only looks in the mirror but not too much to his health.

Star Gazing
And she laid upon the grass to gaze at the stars. Little reflections of her very self. But were they mesmerizing or horrifying? Each star shining a little brighter than the next, mirroring a different part of who she was, what she's done, what she was becoming, who she wanted to be. Each star telling her story whether she wanted it told or not. Each star painting the sky of color like a mood ring refleting every emotion she's ever felt. She laid upon the grass and gazed at the stars. But were they mesmerizing or horrifying?

If you ever get a moment with her; if you ever get an instance to see her smile, feel lucky. She is something that comes around every so often. And when you miss her, she’s gone. She is The Valley’s shooting star, something glowing millions of miles away, but still has the power to be seen somehow.

Michaela Anderson
She who shall not be named. She who could never be underestimated, no matter how short or how tall. She who could move mountains if she chose to. She who has the world on its toes. She who shifts the universe and defies the odds of our generation. She who is strong and dedicated. She who is lively and radiant. She who has put even the most beautiful of things to shame. She who completes my life, she that is my best friend.

Journey of Love
Poetry is a form of writing that can prove to be difficult for many people. About five years ago, I found myself wanting to challenge my high school students with poetry, but I did not want to just read a poem and have them analyze it. I was sitting at my dining room table with my computer sitting in front of me when I began my google search for poetry lessons. After weeding through lesson after boring lesson, I came across a YouTube video of an artist that created blackout poetry out of old books and paint. When I watched his video it inspired me to create a lesson of Blackout Poetry for my students. This was a way for me to integrate cross-curricular subject matters into my classroom as well.
