Lit Poems🔥✨
This year in Lit Class, the college-level class taught by Ms. Sambdman, she assigned a poem in which the student was to include lyrics or titles from an artist they liked. See if you can figure out the inspiration for each poem!
My Mrs. and her Mississippi Kisses -- Bella Warm
Beyond the Texas Sun
She Shine’s
My Brown Skin Girl.
Sweeter than a Summer Rain.
Her voice takes me Smooth Sailin’
I am Coming Home.
I know her like the River
Runnin’ beneath the Bridges.
Holdin’ her Here in My Arms
We’ll be Twistin’ & Groovin’
Beyond the horizon til Midnight.
My Mrs. and her Mississippi Kisses.
Me Inside My Mind -- Adrianna Blackwell
my midnights are spent lying awake, not quite alone
but with the battles inside my mind
when my friends ask and when my family suspects
i’m fine, but the truth is i’m tied together with a smile
i’m fine
i’m fine
i’m fine
words i repeat to myself, waiting and hoping for better days
this is me trying to thrive
in a world full of hurt and hate
soon all of the cold will be gone and
the darkness will be shorter
i wish sunshine would reveal its self to the world
because when the weather is happy
i will find happiness too
the hope in my heart reminds me that i won’t feel this way for evermore
Next Up Forever -- Ava Hagedorn
Sometimes
the 3’ O'clock things
Are the ones that shape me the most.
The Trick of it all
Is that sometimes those 3’ O Clock Things
Are the ones that Burn The House Down.
Sometimes
I need that wake-up call.
When all the information in my hand is screaming
at me that The Entertainments Here!
You don’t have to think,
Always looking for the next Netflix Trip
Just watch!
Sometimes
I think that the Ordinaryish People
Like me
Could help, even from here.
I tell myself
Adventure is out there
But then
I’m Next Up Forever
Always just Turning out
Forever
Never getting to The Good Part
Nothing Else Mattered -- Anonymous
Shattered Glass
Picture frames on the floors
Screams and slams
Tightly locked doors.
But away from all that
The little moments
We spent together
Stolen and hidden in the night
We danced
In the glow of your car’s headlights
That time
Beautiful and delicate
as flowers
But nothing else mattered.
Then,
and only
then,
Nothing else mattered.
No Happiness for the Mad Woman - Anonymous
There was happiness when we lived on Cornelia Street,
When we felt like we would Never Grow Up
New Romantics living in the Lavender Haze
We would live in Exile alone, Dancing With Our Hands Tied
In the Midnight Rain
I know it All Too Well, though
I get called a Mad Woman because I wouldn’t do as I was told
Don’t Blame Me because Everything Has Changed
Tell Me Why I can’t find peace
After You Left Me with no closure
I will never waste my time on another person
As Cold As You
