A/N: This chapter will be poems writing by the students in the English class. There's a short introduction, but other than that, all poetry written by me. No newOCs (but a few old ones) in this chapter. Yes, I made a few poems bad on purpose, to fit the character that I had write them.
"Okay, class. Today I will be reading and grading your poems that you wrote for the assignment on poetic literature. I hope you followed my instructions and wrote about either an important or traumatic time in your life, or a concept that matters to you. Class dismissed." The bell rang, just as I finished my lesson.
"Heatherstar?" One of my students come up to me.
"Yes?"
"Here's my poem. I just finished it."
"Why, thank you, Brightheart! Just turn your next assignment in on time!" I laugh. "Goodbye!"
As Brightheart exits the classroom, I begin to file the poems, reading them one by one, but I think I'll save the grades for later...
Impossibility
By Ivypool
Is the impossible truly impossible,
Or is it just what we are taught to believe?
Anything should possible,
For I think we've been deceived.
If something is impossible,
Then why do we even try?
Everything must be possible
Or there would be no stars in the sky.
In A Single Moment
By Cloudtail
Have you ever wondered
What a moment can hold?
You could accomplish your dream, fall in love,
But the future will remain untold.
StarClan can't tell you everything,
And there are choices all must make.
But in that single moment,
There is only one chance for you to take.
Change
By Daisy
The seasons will change.
So does the weather and time.
Can we change ourselves?
What Music Can Do
By Songflare
Music can change lives.
I know that it has changed mine.
It will change yours, too.
Love
By Flametail
Is it best to love or not?
That is the question I ask.
I swore off she-cats forever,
But I now face a difficult task.
Should I follow my heart or my promise?
Why is it so hard to choose...
What could happen, if I make the wrong choice?
Well, there is so much that I could lose.
If I follow my heart,
I may be turned down.
Follow my promise,
and my love will never be found.
Perhaps I could do neither,
Or maybe choose both,
But that is not possible
Unless I stray from my oath.
School
By Tigerclaw
Stupid
Coming everyday
Homework
On and on and on
Often
Literature
Haiku
By Brokenstar
I wrote this haiku
To tell about this haiku.
This haiku is done.
What I Lost
By Spottedleaf
Sometimes when you lose something,
It's just a pencil, or book.
Other times, it's more important.
Like a friend that your enemy took.
I lost the one I love
To a very special she.
But I am not disappointed,
For they were meant to be.
One Mistake
By Yellowfang
Just a small mistake
Can change your life forever.
I made that mistake.
Swift like the Wind
By Brightheart
Swift like the wind,
That was my best friend.
But not swift enough,
to outrun the very end.
I lost her in the fight,
Blinded by the blood.
Now I really am blind,
But my friend is buried in the mud.
I wasn't strong enough
To save her from the dog.
I'm alive, but lost my eye,
Which just seems like it's smothered in fog.
If I could have her back,
I would pay any price.
Even if it cost my life,
I would do it and roll the dice.
I put the poems back in my binder, happy with what I have. Of course, some of the poems didn't follow instructions. Note to self: Have a "talk" with Tigerclaw and Brokenstar about their poems. I also hope that Brightheart and Flametail are happy with their "A+"s.
