This week, the Bell writers were faced with a challenge: transform a strange vegetable into nine new things. The students read and analyzed Wallace Stevens' poem Someone Puts a Pineapple Together, and then looked and marveled at a large red cabbage. The results are simply amazing!

The Cabbage Put Together
by Samara F.
A moon that just fell from the sky.
A cannonball flying up high.
A bulb of a flower waiting to grow,
and a drop of sweat coming from the a wet brow.
A bowl filled with black soup.
A heart in the shape of a loop.
Nerves running to the brain,
and a little tiny drop of Cain.
A flower stuck in a blizzard.
The skin peeling off a brand new lizard.
A giant brain cut in half,
and the eyeball of a new born calf.
What is it?
by Eliot K.
A leaf-like rock waiting for the war to end.
A curled up armadillo resting in the sun.
A moldy cabbage that smells like chocolate.
A cabbage leaf all floppy.
A performance mask, moldy and wet.
A little bowl like a leaf..
A new painting not in a gallery yet.
Layers of salami and dried butter.
A rare stone that looks like an onion.
Wacky Ideas
by Emma S.
A spikey, purple bowling ball that gets bigger on the top.
A dark blooming flower in the tropic.
A scraped up big purple tear drop.
A big circular leaf.
A giant dying rose petal.
A flimsy bowl.
A camp fire blazing up at midnight’s purple sky.
Crystals forming in a secret, underground lair.
A maze that very tiny ants go through to get to the gold.
Mrs. Fukawa's Class
The Light of Darkness
by Destiny F.
The ball with blackness of death.
The shadow of a graveyard zombie.
A burned piece of a house hiding in the trees.
A dark rubbery mask on Halloween.
The dark side of life.
The dark color black with purple vines.
The clearness of the moon.
A shadow of purple and black goo.
The scorpion oozing blood.
A Crazy Day
by Aidan C.
The brain with vessels are pumping then
it starts flying like an eagle.
Leaves all bunched together. If it runs
away, it’s a black cat.
A skull broken together. Rubber duckies
swimming in a pond. Dark woods all
smashed together with black. Dark crows
with two gold crows.
2 million nuts smashed with a
shiny tree that would swift away
like a piece of paper in the
dark scary woods which falls
in a shiny pond.
Seeing Differently
by Laura G.
A butterfly taking its morning nap on a very hot rock.
A very dark rock that someone will trip over.
A very dark cloudy night that looks like it will rain.
A leaf that just got poured on from a storm.
A blanket that is as dark as night.
A leaf as big as an elephant covering the sky.
A thousand layers of dark purple leaves getting ready to burst.
A big dark cloud that never stops raining.
A delicious vegetable getting ready for picking.
Untitled
by Brennan Q.
A balloon flying high, high into the sky.
The earth in 300 thousand years.
A stone in the cold winter in the attic.
An unknown canyon in the desert.
A dead leaf in the winter.
A black sky at night.
A bird in the sky at night.
A plant growing in the spring, stretching its arms.
The billionth star in the solar system.
Ms. Furgason's Class
The Living Thing
by LeeAnn L.
A purple blob of paint on a canvas.
The ocean waving gracefully.
The rhythm of a soft guitar.
The shell of a snail.
The frosting of a cupcake.
A boat in a terrible storm.
The core of an apple, full of seeds.
The frosty Autumn air.
A stanza in a poem.
What I’m Gonna Transform
by Hannah F.
A bowling pin turns into a beautiful
lovely crystal diamond and then
transforms into a yummy, tasty,
tin can of cream soda.
A delicious tasty cookie jar with
sugar cookies that transforms
into a delicious homemade coconut
drink with a bendi straw on
the hole.
A __________
by Genna G.
A part of a plum in the center.
A black hole in outer space.
A basketball making its way to the basket.
Your brain frozen with frostbite!
A swim cap belonging to a famous swimmer.
A boat in a rainforest.
A blanket for a hog on a farm
A scorpion’s bones in the desert.
A flower’s roots getting rain and food.
A moon on Halloween with a monster in it.
Ms. Manuel's Class
Mystery Transformation: The Cabbage
by Caleb A.
A balloon carrying two love birds on their honeymoon.
A big, juicy blackberry waiting to be picked.
A light shining down upon us.
A boat sailing in the sea.
A hat covering someone’s bald spot.
A Kepa waiting to pray.
A tree shining in the sun.
A few roots waiting for a flower to sprout.
A slice of black bread, waiting to be eaten.
Transformations
by Sami F.
A leaf that has fallen to the ground
on a dark fall night.
A purple elephant in the jungle.
A purple and blue patch of lettuce.
A flower petal broken off of its stem.
A wrapper from a cupcake eaten last night.
A plum left overnight.
A purple tree in the moonlight.
A palm tree in the dark moonlight.
A flower that bloomed last night.
A piece of lettuce from the night before.
The Cabbage
by Brandon N.
A bowling ball waiting for somebody to use it.
A coconut that fell on someone’s head.
A broken microphone with no handle.
A black egg that is rotten.
A leaf that is a boat for bugs.
An umbrella with no handle.
The roof of a small shelter for bugs.
A broken heart that only has black inside with no blood.
A giant raisin that is cut in half.
Two boxing gloves that are ready for a tournament.
