Peace Day Poem

I was inspired by the book What is Peace by Etan Boritzer (which I do not own, but would love to own)
I wanted the students to give me their ideas of peace.

Peace is loving. Cherish. Peace is empathy and kindness. Peace is important and gold. (Sarah)
I think peace is relaxing. I also think peace is on Christmas Eve. Fighting is not peace. Doing homework is not peace at all. When you go to school it is not peace. (Raghav)
There is peace. It could be relaxing in a beach. That's right. Relaxing in a beach. That's correct. (Nehan)
Peace is caring, loving, singing. Shows that we love you with all our hearts. (Olivia)
Peace is doves flying. Peace is a peace sign. Peace is people holding hands. And lying in a quiet place. Peace is sleep. People getting together is peace! And the celebration of Christmas. (Emilee)
Peace is loving people and caring and not throwing bombs. (Ella)
Peace is yoga and sign language. Peace is quiet. Peace is meditating. (Caelyn)
Peace on the beach. Quiet peaceful waves and relaxed with peaceful music and a sweet bit of candy. Peace is sweet like Ms. Dower (Lucy)
Peace is nice. Peace is sweet like cotton candy. Peace can be lots of things. It can be a dog on Christmas. Woof. It can be doves in love. It can be yoga balls doing a jig. It can be kids having fun. Yippy. Yippy. Yip. It can be horses riding like the wind. (Rachael)
