Peace
Poems - Grahamwood Elementary CLUE students invite classes from around
the world to contribute to an ongoing poem about peace: Peace Talk. This
collaborative poem commemorates all those touched by the tragedy of 11
September 2001 and extends our sincere hopes for world peace. Our
poem begins:
Peace is a puzzle waiting to be solved,
Peace is a story waiting to be told.
Will you help us create a living poem
about peace?
