Pizza Poetry Day at Green

Students at Green Charter were proud to participate in this year's Pizza Poetry Day sponsored by Big Class in celebration of National Poetry Month. The day featured writing, poetry reading, and pizza. Last Friday, April 17th, student's poems were printed onto pizza boxes, which were delivered throughout the city. We are delighted to share a selection of those poems with you here:

School is fun

school is cool

my mom thinks

school rules

When school

is over

it makes

me cry

then

my mother

sings

me

a

lullaby.

– My’kael

I live in New Orleans

flying high, singing

songs you might

see me flying

by, sometimes

it will be in

the fall,

nothing

will ever

make me

fall.

– Hiyanta

I love pizza

it’s so cheesy

and crispy I love meat love

pepperoni and others too

so I love all types

and that’s me.

– Damiri

Sadness is the soul of the moon

Stars that walk like people

and keep on going

And people never see

the beauty of me

That a thing can keep sealed

I used to have a dream,

only one about the real me.

– Nala

Humpty Dumpty fell on the

hill he couldn’t get

up and never got

his wish of

pizza so

you might

want to

get pizza

he wanted

it.

– Tyriell
