Poetry, Please

A list poem inspired by a girl's love of shoes, all kinds!

What to do if You're a Pair of Shoes

by Ava

Step in mud

Sit in the closet all day

Get washed

Step in the crunchy leaves

Wait to go outside

Kick a soccer ball

Run a race

Give good luck

get tossed on the floor

Get chewed up by a dog

Get polished

Travel the country

Get donated

Get thrown out

Splash in a puddle

Be fashionable

Get thrown BACK in the closet

Be on every girl's shopping list!

Poetry,please!

The poem of the week is a group effort by the students in room 23.  These are haiku poems with a Halloween theme!

Devils in the night

Costumes, costumes everywhere

Werewolves full of blood!

Blood sucking vampires

Chainsaw maniacs

Watch the skeletons!

Poetry, Please

We have been writing list poems and here is Vagmi's.  It made Mrs. Merten cry :)

Inside my Toy Box

by Vagmi

Inside my toy box there is a Barbie Doll

a stuffed bunny

my old nursery books

an entire doll house a purple bouncy ball

an entire kit of 48 colorful crayons

Some blue beads and clear string

a rainbow bag full of chalk

and some old sugar cookie crumbs.

Some Harry Potter movies 

and some yellow sticky notes.

Some flexible blue rubber bunnies

and colorful pencils

a bunch of white paper

some picture books 

and a lot of memories!

Poem of the Week-3/26

There once was a monkey named Lou,
who forgot how to tie her own shoe.
She waited and thought
and came up with a knot
But that did not work for Lou's shoe.

There once was a boy named Jake,
who ate a lot of cake.
He had to go on a diet,
he became very quiet,
then he was called Jake the snake.

who was a big fan
of the baseball team the Red Sox.
For they found out he was a fox,
so then he ran, and ran, and ran!

who's dream was to juggle.
When it got to the top,
it abruptly went, pop!

and then he made a very big wish.
