I Dream / I Wish

Using the brush of imagination and various poems, students discussed the themes of wishes and dreams today. Using different means, the 8th, 4th and 1st Graders used free verse, repetition and their own original thoughts to script poems. 8th Graders focused on love, life, graduations, and their futures. 4th graders had whimsical poems about colors of things inside their wishes and poems, 1st graders wrote about 'riches' and wanting money to buy things.

I wish that poor people would have a better life.
I wish my uncle came back alive.
I wish that I was smarter.

Terrell H.

# 2

I wish to be rich and to get me a new house
and to buy me some new shoes.
and I am really cool.
I am cooler than you.
You are not better.

My dream is the world in peace and quiet.
No people talking.
No birds tweeting.
Just peace and quiet.
And that's all.

My Wishes
by Terry H.

I wish my uncles was still here.
I wish that person didn't shoot him.
I wish my cousin didn't have to leave.
I wish I had the strength and the power to bring
them back.
I wish I could go back in time.
I wish my family wouldn't have to suffer the sorrow.
My wishes are simple, at least to me.
I wish we could live together.
Man, uncles, I miss you so much.
I wish I knew why....
I wish I didn't have to wonder why?
As time goes by, maybe I'll understand
but now I'll just wish.
I love you uncle..
R.I.P.
You were loved by many.

Many People Dream
by Nathaniel S.

Many people dream of being boss.
They dream of things that may not happen in their life.
They dream of people and life.
They dream of being the Mayor and to make it rain.
They dream of the struggle, they are going through.

I Dream
Brianna H.

Dream!
Dreams are what your heart desire.
Either dream of gold or money, it's what you dream.

I dream of a better place
where I can be myself
and enjoy the fresh air.

A place where not only the world is black
but in all different colors.

I dream of large sunsets that over reach my face
as I sit on the sand and enjoy a fresh breeze of
water splash on my feet.

Not only do I dream of that but to have my life
of a star...
and to see a world different than what I see.

I Dream
by Jacari G.

I dream purple soup swooshing
in the clouds.
I dream an orange dog eating
gray tacos.
My dreams are crazy.
Wild.
I dream brown bats in my house.
I dream white monkeys eating black watermelons.
I dream, I dream, I dream.

Love is My Wish
by Darian S.

I wish for peace and love to come
across this world.
Love.
Is it peace?Is it hatred?
Or is it just me?
Everybody should have something to love,
a friends, your mom, or your pet.
Love is my wish
and command to my love in this world.
Love is my heart
and most people in the world.

My Wish
Jaasiel R.

Once upon a time I said
this ...
I wish I cold have a pink pony
that carries an orange radio
I would feel so happy.
My pony can and it will play music forever.
and it will run over anyone who tries to
turn it off.
My pony can fly,
swim,
and even sing on April Fool's Day.
It can even play pranks on anybody.
It wants...and then I can play pranks
and even scare him...
But when I woke up, it was all a dream.
Then it happened again.

The Dream of my Life
Gabrielle P.

I dream of a rainbow pony.
I would love it,
care for it like no other animal.
It would be my friend, my best friend.
I'll spoil it.
Some people say if I spoil something's
it wants to make it in the world.
Its strong in the inside.
