This week the 4th Graders took a look at Someone Puts a Pineapple Together, by Wallace Stevens. We inspected an actual pineapple to try and figure out how Stevens got such wild images out of a fruit. Have you ever looked at cloud and seen something else in it? It’s just like that! And then I asked the students to get ready to write their own images, to tell us what they envisioned within a mystery object. I pulled it out of my bag and it was… a purple cabbage! Cut in half for optimal viewing, of course.

Purple

A rock is on the warm sand
A little tree grows from the ground
A crab is in the water
A half ball is flat on the floor
A half of the Earth
A big cupcake bun

Its thunder inside the purple cabbage
Its a maze inside the cabbage
Its a root inside its own cabbage
It’s a ghost stuck on a cabbage

A brain in your mind
thinking thoughts
A tree in a galaxy
growing
A turtle moving slowly
The Amazing Cabbage

The cabbage looks like a rotten brain
The cabbage looks like a tree in fall
The cabbage helped Payton Manning
The cabbage stopped world hunger
The cabbage inspired kindness
The cabbage is awesome
The Purple Mohawk

Purple brains floating in the air
out of the soul with people
I see purple crayons in the purple
brain looking like purple hair
I see a purple mow hawk
filled with purple leaves

Brains, bones, spines
and it looks like a
pet hamster and a tree
it looks like fire
Purple Cabbage

A brain that is really purple from a zombie
A purple shell that is yucky
A purple turtle that is dead
An alien that has come to earth to eat us
A purple spider that is dead
A purple head that is dead

Its a house full of

a leaf
Its a crab, a turtle.
