Ruth and Jim Bebko from the WMSC Creative writing class teamed up with several Telstar Middle School students in writing a collaborative poem. They chose "A Good Day" as their topic. Here is their poem, which they read on May 2 at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration "Bridging the Generations."
On a Good Day
Ruth Bebko
We met four young ladies from Telstar
Who hoped to be poets exemplar.
They played with Haiku
As we seniors did too.
So hear our new products so far.

Bailey Daniels
I get up so slow
The dew drops feel like heaven
Morning sun peaks out
School still feels boring
But my friends are still the best
With them I can laugh
Walk into the dark
Listen to the warm breeze
This was a good day
************************
Ana Rossow
Waking to the bright sun,
Shining gently through my window,
Covering the world in glow.
Jumping into the
Cool, blue water of the lake,
Swimming all day long
************************
Jim Bebko
Sunrise over the ridge
Awake, alive, feeling good
A day ahead - plans
Sun at zenith
Chores over, hobby time spent
Brighten another's day
Learning something new
Good book and music enjoyed
Some exercise too
Sunset over mountains
Pleasant meal, friend's conversation
A good day, good night
************************
Marta Opie
I run downstairs to
and find an awesome surprise
Bacon sizzling OMNOM
friends are laughing
at the lake we swim
in the bright sun
************************
Anna Montagna
A good day is great
Good days are so relaxing
A good day is nice
Good days are very amazing
A good day is calm
************************
Mrs. Prescott
sun in the morning
windmills on the horizon
in love with Friday
neon yellow wheels
leather and laces tied up
rollerskate day dream
sneakers on pavement
moving, strong, beautiful
April ice can't last
************************
Ruth Bebko
So, using Haiku as our way
With our poems we have tried to convey
That regardless of age
Be it, youthful or grayed
We just wish you a very good day.
