I am like...


As part of our Earth Day retreat in Kitchener, Ontario the teens wrote some inspired poetry. They each chose a word related to the earth and then wrote a poem about how they are similar to that word starting, "I am like...". Here are a couple of them.

I am like the sun
I am bright
I am warm-full
I am big
I rise in the morning
I set in the evening
I am like the sun

I am like a flood
I show up unexpected
I am always exciting
I normally cause disruption
I always try to give back to the earth
I can be good or bad
I am like a flood

I am like the clouds
simply drifting
simply moving
simply existing
simply there
I am like the clouds
