Best Found Poem: Martin Luther King: I Have a Dream Speech

I have a dream today
that one day Americans
will live on a lonely island
of poverty

I have a dream
that one day Negroes will
give Americans a bad check
marked as
"Insufficient Funds"

I have a dream that one day
Americans will be guilty of
wrongful deeds.

Let us negroes satisfy
our thirst for freedom by
drinking from the cup of
hatred and bitterness

I have a dream
that one day we will come
to realize that their destiny
is not tied up with our destiny
We can walk alone.

WE SHALL OVERCOME

I have a dream
that one day we will be
satisfied when Americans
come from narrow jail cells.

I have a dream that
Americans will come from the
slums and ghettos of our modern
cities, Let us wallow in the valley
of despair.

I have a dream
that Americans will have
no quest for freedom.

Free at last
Free at last
Thank God Almighty
We are free at least

Rhymin Poem

 Hi, I'm a girl named Holly
She always seemed to be jolly

But one day I was sad
Because I heard somethin bad

The morining I was walking to school
These girls called me un-cool

It's because I'm black
which made me wack

I cried  all day
And couldn't make the pain go away

I want to be cool
But I don't want to look like a fool

I went to those girls that same day
But they gave me a look to go away

I went home sad
On my way I saw my dad

WHICH MADE ME GLAD

Poem on an Incident

Babies and Fish

How was she supposed to know
that
     fish
         can't
                eat
                    normal
                              food.
The baby girl dumped all
diffrent types of food in
the tank.
Like
     Chicken
                Rice
                     Cheerios
                                 Bread
                                          Orange Juice
10 minutes later there were no more
FISH

Famous Painting Poem



Mona Lisa

She smiles or she Smirks
with a beautiful stare
I wonder beneath her eyes
is their happiness or sorrow
madness or gladness
She seems to be a
very important person
in the small town behind
her
I wonder if she knows
there is wonder behind her

Reading Response to " Photographs of the Girl "

     What I thought about this poem is that its rough that this girl is going through puberty while being starved and being thirsty. It stinks because while going through puberty you get hungry and thirsty all the time. And it sucks. I don't know how it feels to feel hungry and thirsty. And thats what is difficult about connecting in the poem

Making Observations and Interpretations of Art Entry Andy Warhol



Observation
The can looks broken up.
Red, Black, White, and Gold at the bottom
You can see the real can under the scraped off paper

Infrences
Maybe when Andy tasted the soup he probably got sick
he's showing what he feels about it. There is definetly something special
about the can cause there are many diffrent companies for soup.
Something happened to him because of the soup can

Interpretation

Maybe Andy Warhol doesnt like Campbells Soup
He though he would share what he feels about it by ripping off the paper thing
