Meghan’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Across the Atlantic, During Winter Break, Beside the Arctic Circle, Near a puffin colony, Considering the troll tales of locals, After a long day of whale-watching, Amid a gelid wilderness, From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., In remote locations, Outside civilization and the warm rental car, Beneath a dazzling winter night sky, Following the emerald-green, … Continue reading Meghan’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Trevor’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Aboard a Delta airplane completely filled to the brim with passengers Above many Southern and Northern states In a rental car, driving through a Georgian Interstate Beside looming trees on either side Towards a log cabin on a clear lake Within the house, welcomed by family Underneath the clean, sparkling water Inside the small and … Continue reading Trevor’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Beach day

Day at the Beach
Onto the sand our toes burned with each step
Under umbrellas people dozed off from the heat
Beside us people ate
Along the shore people ran
Behind me were three giggling friends
Around the corner we waved away seagulls
Above us was the bright sun
Across were the crashing waves
Past us were little kids digging
Near were friends laughing
About to faint from the heat we headed to the shore
We swam.

Claire’s Poem

Across the atlantic ocean by ferry

Near the island of Nantucket

With amazing beaches and fun

From being with family to friends

As the waves crash onto the shore

Into the ocean we go

Despite the fact it was freezing

Following along with bike rides

Into nantucket town at night

For the famous Juice Bar ice cream

But you can’t forget the night time fun and yachts

As the month comes to an end of fun

Aboard the ferry back to Connecticut

Goodbye Nantucket

New York, New York Aboard a crowded metro Towards the city of lights Beyond the town of Easton, CT Upon the lavish stores Down the several sidewalks Near many business men and women. Minus the several farms Plus the honking horns Among the multiple apartments Underneath the towering buildings Beside a bunch of rude and … Continue reading Ellie’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Cooper’s Prepositional Phrase Poem

Maryland Trip In a black Honda filled with snacks and games Along all the way down to Maryland Along the streets were the grandest most wonderful-looking hotels To have fun by the ocean In a hotel with a pool, sleeping in a fold-up bed leaning down Between a beach to relax and a whole lot … Continue reading Cooper’s Prepositional Phrase Poem
