In Ms. Pascarelli’s 7th grade ELA class, students explored the theme of silence by writing original poems reflecting on its meaning and impact.
Void,
Endless and tranquil,
The wish of someone to fulfill it,
Or the appreciation of the empty
--Sadie Parker
As the youth bows his head
he feels like he is in a desert.
breath by breath,
silence just keeps getting more silent
he feels like he is in an underworld
--Joseph Woodward
Silence is a place with peace
a silent room with a window opened
a window wide opened
curtains swinging left and right
feeling the cool breeze of a summer night
--Thessalya Oliveira
Silence is what you hear
when your thoughts go quiet,
silence is the sound of an empty field,
silence is space where only stars shine
--Sophia Snell
