We have just completed the novel Tuck Everlasting. It was wonderful to read this story with you. We talked about so many things and ideas. We thought on immortality and living life with significance. I thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent.
I have collected poems on the last day of the novel experience and they are wonderful. Class of 2012 it is now your turn.
Write a poem that in some way connects to the story or to one of the themes we discussed. Once you are done cut and paste your work into the blog. I look forward to reading your expressions related to the story Tuck Everlasting.

The Cycle
Our lives must end someday
So let’s enjoy them before we go away
The cycle cannot be broken
It’s how it goes
And everyone knows
The cycle cannot be broken
I’ve been thinking and thinking
It’s hard to conceive but I have realized
Someday we all must leave
The cycle cannot be broken
We waste our time
On dumb little crimes
I have seen it before and life just goes out the door
The cycle cannot be broken
But today I know
I will create rings of joy
Because everyone knows
THE CYCLE CANNOT BE BROKEN
Lifes Story
life can be endless
life can be short
life can be sweet
life can be sour
life can be filled with sorrow
life can be filled with regret
life is life
we have it for a reason
Lifes Story
Life can be endless
Life can be short
Life can be sweet
Life can be sour
Life can be filled with sorrow
Life can be filled with regret
Life is life
We have it for a reason
The earth it could defend you
Or barratry you
But not go against you
Always be nice to the earth
It will never be your enemy
Like turn against you
Never ever betray the earth
The earth it could defend you
Or barratry you
But not go against you
Always be nice to the earth
It will never be your enemy
Like turn against you
Never ever betray the earth
Natural Life
Life is precious
And immortal life
You can never die
You will watch all
Your loved ones go and
Live in complete misery and
Silence every minute of every single day

Tic tok tic tok
Time is slipping and doesn’t stop
Some complain about their life
While others stay hidden
In their shell not taking any risks
The race is on and doesn’t stop until
You stop
The finish line is where you finish
Take your time but don’t abuse your time
Cause it never comes back and never stops
broken cycles
my boat has broken
broken the cycle of life
broken the cycle of the current
the water no longer moves it
the current left it years ago
i am a hopeless boat now with nowhere else to go
no longer in the current
i used to be in the flow of the river i used to know
but now i am stuck you see
stuks in the muck
same as angus tuck
never again to be in the flow
of the river i used to know
Forever I live with eternal life
Forever I thrive even after drinking that water
Forever I’m young with twelve years of age
Forever I feel as if I’m trapped in a cage
Forever I sit bored and tired
Four thousand years and I still have not expired
Living forever
I can’t imagine
How long forever may be
It breaks the cycle of life
Like a Ferris Wheel
Without an end

Eternal life
No beginning. No end.
live forever Winnie
so take a sip you’ll see
you will be immortal.
that’s what I would be
go ahead. Take a sip
take away your fears.
You don’t have to die.
Just one sip, you will see
You will see them come,
You will see them go.
it’s your choice, so do it
GO!
-Ben Zehnder
Timeless
Life went by going and going
But for the Tucks it was nowhere to go
Like the cycle of Life for the Tucks it was just a lie
Stuck on the top of the wheel
Erased by time, spirit and all
Just dreaming about the heavens
The world of my dreams
Of all I wanted to be
Life went by going and going
But for the Tucks it was nowhere to go
The gift of life
When I was born I was given the gift of life
I lasted for about 17 years
Then one day as I was passing through a town
And took a sip of water
And my life had no expiration date
I could have my gift of life forever
living forever what a chance to see your family come and pass, but its not for me. living forever is not for me so go ahead you will see,bored and nothing to do. so go ahead.

I may not know much
I may not do much
But I will not live forever
I shall not be young forever
Every day I will be different than the others
I will be stronger than the others
I will be bolder than the others
I will be taller than the others
There for I shall not live forever
Never Ends
immortality can be a pain
your cycle will go on and on
and it will never end
its like the earth
it spins and whirls
and it will never end
as sad it can be
bored and tired
and it will never end
the cycle is either stuck
or broken with immortality
and it will never end
Stuck in Time
Life isn't a curse
Nor is death
But life ends in death
And death completes your circle
So a never ending life
Equals a brocken circle
And a broken circle is a curse
The pure thought of a never ending Life is so hard to even comprehend,
Living that life,
Being stuck in time,
Makes me dream of heaven

"Depressed" i think as i look at my shoes. Pressing my head into my knees thinking about what to do. Nothing i think as a soak in hate. Growing angered for my stupid mistake. All by myself im trapped in this world until the Billionth century. What will happen as i hear the "Drip drop" of my tears or was it the vile i just drank?
Forever Young
To live forever
I would be fortunate
but if I stretch my brain farther
I wouldn't think that for long
It is a terrible thing
dying
but in the end it is a wonderful
cycle
you will see all of your
friends and kin
then you will smile and grin

I can never see the finish line
It’s going farther and farther when I run at it
It’s a never ending cycle so now it’s broken
Why did I take a drink?
Now my life regret
-zack swies
Forever
Forever is too long a word.
It is neverending,
Young forever
or old forever.
Forever is a choice,
forever is a curse.
Forever is too long a word.
If you had a chance
To live forever
Would you take it
Or let it be
For me you see
My answer for it to be
Would be to live forever
With my hopes and dreams
Live free like a bird in the sky
Or even a frog in its pond
morality is be a rollercoster
with its ups and downs but edventually it comes to a stop
you exit to what you feel is another world
you want to stay on it
but if you could you would get sick of the same old thing
Life Water
If you would live forever
If you would take the risk
If you would be stuck in your body
If you had the chance
Would you ever take it?

Winnie drink the water you will see it will never end,take a sip you will be with me there is so much to see so come with me

Living In Sorrow
Most People Don't Want To Die And Want To Live Forever,
Those People Are Young Like Winnie
Tuck Is Old And Deppressed And Just Wants To End His Cycle

My Life
My Life, My Life
Everything i loved my wife and kid
Now i'm just lid, stuck in a jar
Her marking left on me
Not the only thing
She also left my heart in pieces
Wanting to escape wanting to run
Just want to see her beautiful face
Her dress milky white
Oh my life my life
All i had to lose
I’m stuck in a box
Nowhere two go I must find my way to death
Do I go left?
Do I go right?
Should keep going straight
Where can I find death

Eternal Life Debate
At first it would be fun,
But after years and years to come,
Would you wish for life to be done?
Although there are any sits to see,
And many things to achieve,
What would you do after?
Would everything become a bore?
Would you feel like there was nothing more?
You may even welcome death.

Toad the mighty toad,
Te evil toad,
If drank the water from the spring,
Life would ether die or live,
I hate those toad they could kill,
Or be nice and we all move on
