English 10 Poetry Project

Upcoming Summer

I am really looking forward to this summer, 
I have waited for it so long so long. 
I don’t want to wait any longer,
I will finally be free.
Summer summer sunny everyday, 
Clouds are gone, the sky is clear. 
T-shirts, shorts, sandals are worn for play, 
This is the best time of the year. 
Vacationing on the beaches,
Playing snooker with the pros. 
Volunteering in the communities,
Enjoying soccer games with my bros.


 My poem is about this upcoming summer. I wanted to share this to the public by sticking my poem on different places in Vancouver. I also gave my poem to people on the streets and asked them what they thought of my poem. I went on this journey with my two friends Joseph and Steven. We helped each other film our projects and we had fun travelling and eating together. An old man in North Vancouver told me this is what he used to do when he was a kid in summer, playing soccer with all his bros. I was ignored by a lot of people. They just looked at me and walked away, some were polite some were aggressive. One man looked me in the eye and told me he has no interest in poems and walked away. I was not scared as I was with Steven Yang who is a giant. I talked to a little girl on the playground and she laughed at me when she read my poem and then ran off to go play without giving me her opinion. Maybe my poem gave her energy to go play. This English project was a memorable experience as I ran into challenges and also small victories when people read my project. This project also brought be closer to my friends as we spent 9 hours together travelling together and eating together.

The Poem of Miss Hancock

The Poem of Miss Hancock

Jason Sun

Blcok D

I saw her,

her blood,

and her wounded body.

Why didn't I talk to her,

why didn't I smile at her,

why did I pretend to be unfamiliar with her,

I still don't know.

I should stand on her side

to talk to her

to support her

and even protect her.

All of  this was too quick,

I till cant accept her death.

Maybe it is a life turning point,

maybe it's a huge lesson for me.

I will be cheerful to all my friends,

no matter what.

So, let this accident be a lesson to all of you.

  

My dear Miss Hancock.
