Poem: Teardrops
Teardrops coming.
Very sadly, but fast,
as you start to cry.
You turn your head the other way,
while people try to help.
As they realize nothing can help.

About 209
- Room 209
Hi we are room 209. We are students in the Chicago Public Schools and we maintain this blog. This blog is a way of asking questions, writing about the things we are learning, discussing ideas from many sources, (books, blogs, letters, interviews) and reflecting on those ideas. Our teacher is Ms. H. You can e-mail her at the link on this page. You can comment on our questions or about our writing by clicking on the word comments at the bottom of each post. We are 2nd graders in the public schools so of course Ms. H moderates this blog for us. If this blog has inspired you and you want to leave us a comment please do so. If you want to talk with other adults about what we are talking about or if a comment you left here earlier has been moderated there is another blog about~209, which is this blog unmoderated. - about~209
This is a great poem. It is clean and true, and it tells stories beyond its few words. I hope you keep writing poems all your life. Thank you for sharing this one.

This is a poem with wonderful insight by someone so very young. Thank you for opening my eyes to see through yours. Thanks Mrs.H for your young poets. Let them fly!
