Okay - the rules are:
Use an abcb rhyme scheme. This means that the poem will be set up in 4 line stanzas (paragraphs) and lines 2 and 4 will rhyme and lines 1 and 3 can not rhyme. I'll start the first stanza (so we can see what abcb rhyme scheme looks like) and then you can each add one line. Let's see what we can do!
"Honors 9"
by the Class of 2011
Middle school is over,
we have moved to South Lenoir.
Our bookbags are packed full,
what do our teachers have in store?
As you can see, lines 2 and 4 rhyme with "Lenoir" and "store". Lines 1 and 3 do not rhyme, with "over" and "full". Who wants to start a new stanza? Go for it. Be creative, quirky, smart; this is just for fun! Let's see what we can do!

This school is so big
Its like a maze
Is this what a fish feels like,
as if he's in a haze
(thats the best i can come up with Mrs M, Matt)
i hope i don't get lost,
and survive school lunch.
OH NO! my bookbag just fell on me,
and i heard my back go crunch.

Nice job Matt and Regan! So far, we've got an interesting ballad going on. Who wants to add to it? Remember, you don't need to add an entire stanza, one line will do just fine!
Thanks

At first, I was afraid,
Now everything's a blast,
I am beginning to have fun,
Now that the first day has past.
I was surfing the internet,
when to my surprise,
I saw a Corvette,
appear before my eyes.

And now a week has gone,
just like that,
and the rush, rush ,rush,
keeps going on and on,
(Will that work Mrs Mci?)

Your English teacher is new,
here at South Lenoir.
Study grammar and your Lit books,
if you want a perfect score.
Reports are soon to be passed out
I don't want to see mine cause i'm worried
Cause I started on a hard route
Now things are getting blurry
South Lenoir's all right
If you like school
School's shorter now
I guess thats cool
South Lenoir is fun
It really is a blast
I'm seeing all my friends
This year should go by fast

At first I was scared,
Later on I was not,
Because I knew,
I had teachers who cared.
South Lenoir is alright
People walk around stare
like Im lost
Is it my hair
I dislike South Lenoir
It is not cool
Why do you have to give us homework
Someone even called me a fool
It's my first year at SL
At first I was scared
That maybe I would get picked on
But you know I never really cared
my life has changed
and now is so crazy
the schoolworks hard
so no time to be lazy
South Lenoir is fun,
I like this class
But the problem is
I'm I going to pass
-Lizzie Moody
Yo, my first year,
who knew it would be so sweet.
The only thing wrong
is the cafeteria's meat.
messed up the first comment.
sorry.
bad rhyming skills.
forgive me.
This transition was hard,
from WMS to South Lenior.
Luckily it got better,
Thank GOD I haven't hit the floor.
