We Cheer

we celebrate. we
stay up late. we

watch some shows. we
write some prose. we

play some games. we
rack our brains. we

yell and cheer. we
say happy new year.


This poem is written in similar fashion to Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem We Real Cool. This poem is one of her most famous poems.

We Real Cool 

BY GWENDOLYN BROOKS

               The Pool Players.
        Seven at the Golden Shovel.

            We real cool. We  

            Left school. We

            Lurk late. We

            Strike straight. We

            Sing sin. We   

            Thin gin. We

            Jazz June. We   

            Die soon.

Thank you for reading.
