Poetry – Shoshana Weaver

Will (a poem)

Surfer underwater surrounded by bubbles and sand stirred up from ocean floor

I wrote this poem for my ninth-grade Creative Writing class, mostly on a whim. I had a feeling stuck in my head of the movement of a gust of wind, or a tornado even, of a cyclical movement that feels suffocating and never-ending. I felt that this portrayed what I was imagining fairly well.

Responsibilities (A Chain Poem)

I wrote this as a Chain Poem for 10th grade Language Arts class.

The Wolf (An Atmosphere Poem)

I wrote this as a genre poem for my 10th-grade English class, back in 2012. I’m still quite proud of it.

Eyes Tell All Poem

I wrote this poem in 11th grade but I was so proud of it that I have always wanted to do something fun with it. After a few years, I went back to it and added some crazy fonts and colors to make it more concrete poetry.
