Poems
Some pupils in my 10th grade EFL class (Begin High School, Rosh Ha'ayin) wrote poems in free-verse in response to how they have been feeling lately (this past week...) Some pupils feel sad and confused, especially after the bombing of the bus in Haifa last Wednesday, yet some continue to ignore the situation...still feel hopeful....

I chose to share just a few poems here- they were all wonderful efforts.

I FEEL by Ido Sharabi

I feel that everyone is going to be killed
I feel sadness about this case
I feel angry when people see grey
and I will do everything
that will be the opposite
also....pray

We need to go on
Be tough and strong
It happened

and That is the reality
All we need is lots of support

and all this will go on
quietly


I AM SO SORRY by Lital Sa'ar

I am so sorry
but not for me
I am sorry for my world
for my country
Each one of us
lives in a bubble
Small bubble, misleading bubble
and we each think of the world
from another point.
All points are similar
All points are misleading

Noone wants to stop this stupid phenomenon
Noone wants to tell the truth
The real truth
But I don't know what's best
If we know the truth
What will we feel
Will we be more terrified?
Maybe happier?
We don't know

And so because of that
because we fear discovery of the truth
We will never do it
Because we are stupid people
In a stupid bubble...


FEEL BAD by Nofar Nachum

I feel sad every time I watch T.V.
I see all the blood
and think to myself
How terrible
babies, kids, teenagers who go to school
and don't come back
Parents who take their kids for walks
in parks
meals, other fun places
and don't come back
small kids
who go to play outside
and don't come back
and
I feel terrified
I feel sad
I feel bad

Scared that one day it will happen to me
or someone else in my family
I want to go outside
have fun
I'm so scared
I wanted to go to clubs with my friends
and have fun
I'm so scared
I want to stop the war
and I can't
I feel bad


CONFUSED by Nadav Rosenzweig

When you think that everything
is going to be O.K.
When you think that
you are going to a better place
When you think that everything
is going the right way, for you

Suddenly, it's not so good
We open our eyes
and we see the whole picture
that we are living in a war!
