Bullying is mean
It makes other people sad
Stop it instantly
Together we get power
We have to be kind to each other
Be more nicer
It might come back to you
This was very inspiring and nice, I loved it, this also made me think more about reality and all the black/american people.
This inspired our class to do our own poems called united way but about school problems and how we can stop them.
It kind of makes me sad because I did actually feel what Amanda Gorman and the African Americans are going through .
i was very inspiring we were talking about the black lives matter moment in america and once we heard it it inspired us to do one about our school problems.
it made me think about african americans in the usa and about the people how grou up alone with no mum or dad because of slavery and bearly seviving and how to suvive whith out any family or frend
our class also descust about blm (black lives mater) and about how hard it is to be a african americans in the usa
It seems you had a very interesting discussion in class Harry.
its hard to learn, hard to teach,
whilst we all have goals to reach.
its hard to make friends, to satisfy your brain,
all the while your in pain.
but dont forget, were all in this together
we dont bend, dont break
we dont give up, we wont ache
we are strong we are brave
we never give up
our strength is in numbers
we never give up
we fight till the end
we never give up
for this is the united way
Your use of repetition makes your poem forceful and works well. Thank you.
i like the poem ,nice
It’s hard to cope hard to focus
we’ve never been more together, while we might be all alone
for only we drama this unknown together
somewhere, people lonely thinking what friends to make
somewhere, people worrying who to play with
so we get to work
making are school brighter, higher, greater and stronger
to be hope sighted never divided for when we live to give we always live united.
united way
its hard to hope hard to cope
while we might be alone we will never be more fellow
because this will always be in my life forever
so we got to cope
we are together we don’t break even when we bend
somewhere,together
somewhere,another forever
we are the strongest
making our friendship bigger and stronger
fighting for hope we cant cope
the beginning of hope
so there here to help me cope
to be hope ,sighted never forever
for when we live to give , always forgive
Thank you for sharing your poem Kalae Marie.
I really like the poem it’s really inspiring to watch
In school we learnt about the Black Lives Matter Protest and I think the United Way is a good poem that repesents this protest.
That’s interesting you can see links Armani-jaye.
Its hard to hope,
Don’t be rude , don’t be a bully
so there be nice ,
so get to work ,
making new friends everyday,
so make our school brighter ,stronger and greater
this poem is very inspiring as it tells you to never give up your hope, it also tells us how
america has faced a very had time but it tells us how to have hope for there country and theirs a place for there future.
It was a moving poem and I really liked it
I like poem because it is about being united and how people should stand together not separate.
communities created by people with principles of faith and an attitude of dedication towards the will
your poem enchants me
Amanda gorgan
i like the poem
The harder to think
The harder to focus
The harder to work
The quicker to talk
Maths in the past was easy
Literacy back then simple
In the future,
Comes new paths
We are united
Not divided
That’s an interesting poem Arami-jaye. I like the way you’ve used Gorman’s structure but made the poem your own.
when we write we think when we think when we play we have fun and when we focuse we lison. but know matter what we fight for our lives know matter what happens in the fucher. and evry time we join toghether we forgive thoughs who take responsibillity for the issus they have but also no bulling is iniseptible and we all needto be kindto evryone.
Its hard to work wile people are around people are loud and wiled but we have fun there lots of hope we work together as a group but we are the mighty year 6 we are geting beter while the years go we spend hours and hours for are hopes well we work for are futer but it is good because we are all together.
It’s hard to hope hard to cope
With a crisis on hand
What will we do?
We bend and twist but we don’t fall apart
Somewhere another, a teacher works
Whilst, the other learns
It’s hard to hope with covid in the way
It’s hard to make friends if you are new today
we stay stuck together for protection
Don’t let your insecurity’s get to you you are perfect the way you are
Thank you Afreen.
I think its really good because shes an inspiration in other peoples life and she stands strong and also stands tall
Embrace your race
Sometimes it’s hard to cope with racism
Isn’t it okay to speak up?
We might be all alone but we’ve always been the same.
We’ve always been so powerful, so why stop now?
Somewhere somebody faces racism
Somewhere it happens too often
We must put our heads together and think alike
Together we must stand forever
Fighting this evil curse together crying doesn’t help, no it doesn’t!
We must always be hope-sighed
So lets all come together, never back down forever
I like your use of a question to involve the reader Ilwad.
I love her message
I love her dedication
I’m glad you liked it Jamaldeen.
i really like the language
Women will rise
When a woman feels down,
Abandoned and alone,
She will be united,
She will stand and make a change,
And not let a person, get in her way,
She started as dirt in the ground,
But she’ll rise and be proud,
To be a girl,
She’ll be,
And we’ll always be,
United.
What a powerful poem Alessi. I like your structure and final lines.
Its hard to hope hard to progress working together Together this is are united world turn the page over forever and live coming united to be untied is a great thing that we can achieve united is the way for it.

Anxiety
Its hard to hope hard to cope
say nope to anxiety
its a ping in your heart
its a horrible thing
anxiety is emotional
tearful not wonderful
I love the expression “a ping in your heart”.
It was a STUNNING poem.
its hard to hope its hard to cope but its not hard to help,
lets all come together so it wont be like this forever,
once again another tree is cut down and an other loses there home it is an amazing wold but we destroyed it,
god created this but we let it slip and to call this progress.
sorry that this was once something but now nothing i do not now what yore thinking but i hope yore helping.

I am from a beautiful place
I am from Football,
From my siblings and beyblades,
I am from Venom and Shu Kurenai,
I am from a Swan that I saved,
I am from Ethiopia,
Shiro and Chips,
I am from a Football Match,
I’m from arguing,
And Bissmillah,
Alone,
I am from Darkness,
Shu Kurenai,
And Bissmillah.
I am from football,
From teddy bear and siblings family,
I am from smart and funny,
I am from dragon ball my favourite show,
I am from Ghana,
Fried chicken and pizza,
I am from Sleeping with my bear,
I’m from be my friend,
And sunflower,
Alone,
I am from happiness,
Dragon,
Never give up.
