Loneliness is grey.

It smells like an ashes.

It tastes like a typical spanish fruit.

It sounds like a trapping grey bird.

It feels like a kid who lost a direction and

It lives in an unhappiness world.

Nur Shahirah (14)  2Serve7

HATE

Hate is punching a bean bag

It smells like disaster

It taste like a bitter gourd

It sounds like bombing of planes

It feels like a war about to start

It lives within everyone of us

Hi Pioneers,

We would like to pose a challenge for you. Inspiration comes in different shapes and sizes.

Since most of you have your fancy camera handphones, I want you to take a photo of something that catches your attention. Then, feel free to pen down a 4-line poem about the subject of your photo.

You can either submit your entry by posting directly to e-Lit or sending the entry through Pioneer Place E-Message. Entitle your post/entry as “2008 Poetry Challenge.”

This challenge is open till the EIGHTH week of Term 4 (Friday). The winner will be determined by Miss Wynnie Kwok and Miss Diana. The prize of this challenge will be a voucher of $20 from a bookstore of your choice – Kinokuniya, Borders, Times or Popular. Game on!

Hands

As the saying goes, “You will never walk alone”

A truth that I hold so dear

I find my love I could call my own

No longer do I need to live in fear

During the 2008 June Holidays, 2V6 and 2V7 embarked on an ambitious project to encourage students to read deeper and share wider. Briefly, each group of about 4 students were to look in 9 different books to match 9 different aspects of a narrative; Start, Character, Atmosphere, Venue, Emotion, Nasty/Nice, Gasp/Grin, Ending, Riveting. Collectively, each class of about 10 groups would have approximately a show case of 90 books! See the instruction sheet and an example of a completed project for more details.

Embedded is the collective work done by 2V6 sorted out according to the 9 respective categories.

Enjoy!
