Giving help to others before herself although she may need support the most. Fearing the judgment of others, amidst following her heart.

Dreams of being the best she can be, but nearly falling short. Realizing she tried her best while others tell her she did not.

Having hope in her heart to see places unknown. First in her family to achieve the ultimate goal of attending college.

Wordplay serves as a delightful method of varying word choice to increase reader interest. On Grandparents Day, seventh grade students engaged in a lipogramatic exercise in which they could write in any genre as long as they did not use the letter “A.” What a surprise to read this lovely poem, created on the spot and yet following all the rules!

Winter by the Fire Chloe Glanger, Seventh Grade

When the wind howls through the trees, ice forms on the ground, and then I know it’s winter. It’s time to sit by the fire drinking hot coffee. My tongue cheers in my mouth. Then I know it’s winter.

Sitting by the fire, I drift into sleep, sinking in my cozy covers. Then I know it’s winter.
