  1. The poem Mother to Son has had a really big affect on me. I can almost hear her velvety voice whispering in my own ears.it has inspired me to make a poem called Hole:You can go deep down into it but eventually something or someone will fill it back up…There’s a deep hole in the ground which you can make it stay there when you want to.Courage is always in you as all you need to do is show it.

  2. The poem Mother To Son has made me really think because it was a mother talking to her own son about life. This made me feel really intrested. Once I had read the poem I thought that it was great because the mother was tring to show her son that life is not easy. I also liked it because they used an American accent. I also found the poem remided me of some famous people like

  3. Slam,dunk and hook was my favourite poem!

    1. Hi Esin,

      Yes, I like that bit too especially the “mercury insignia” Nike trainers ad “hot swish”. It makes the kids sound cool.

  4. I really liked that poem because is really sad but fun at the same time. It is really motivational because sunny’s mother died and he kept on doing wants to do and he never got let down.

    1. I liked slam dunk hoop because it’s about basketball .I think the messege was not to give up and don’t stop trying.

  5. Hi!
    I was very inspired by “Slam, Dunk and Hook” and decided to make my own about tennis.

    Hit It!

    Preparation is harder than the real thing
    Trying to get the footwork right
    When I fall I get back up
    As I only get better

    The next day, the match comes
    Slithering like a snake in the court
    Side to side, not stopping
    Feeling as if I cannot

    I serve on to the court
    Feeling relaxed, but stiff
    As I win the last point
    I feel overjoyed but surprised

    Next stop, next match
    The preparation starts again
    Training, training, training
    I know I will win

      Fantastic poem. You really convey the energy and movement of tennis with your choice of line breaks and punctuation. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  6. I liked this poem because it was about basketball, a sport I like. I think the poem is about not giving up and to keep on trying to achieve your goals.
