Oakland Pic/Poem

We had to pick a word that represented Oakland Cemetery.  My word was family.  We had to go around the cemetery and take pictures of the letters in our word. Then I wrote a poem about family. My poem described that many people in the Oakland cemetery have relatives or a family that is buried together.

Here is my poem and picture:

Oakland Word Poem

Graves near each other are like books in a library

Name on gravestones

Gravestones say when their birthday is and when they died

Some gravestones tell how the person died

Most gravestones don’t say how they died

Makes you sad

You would bring flowers

You would ask why they had to die

Lonely as a quiet place

Lots of statues

Symbols

Religions

Went to heaven

Stone with last name

They are a family
