Right before the young poets at Hale Elementary went off to Thanksgiving Break, they were able to choose-their-own-adventure (i.e. write a poem about either the season, Thanksgiving, or whatever else they wanted!) Here are a few selections:
Things Are Boring
by Lily
5th grade
I’d rather be watching TV
School is as boring as a book
Food is yummy like a cake
Winter is as cold as ice
When I have my sweater all day long
I am as warm like hot cocoa
I want to sleep as long as a bear sleeps through winter
Watermelons are as nasty as bugs
and wood is as hard as a tree
but my bed is as comfy as a couch
Winter Frost
by Ava N.
4th grade
Winter, winter
how much I adore you
once a snowflake melted on my tongue
I loved you ever since
when it snows
it looks like diamonds
in the sky
and the snow is whiter than paper.
Happy Thanksgiving
by Alexcia
4th grade
You are happy and proud
you are not bad
you are just having fun with your mom
You have pink ham
it smells like heaven
knocking on your door
as you walk through
the heaven gate
ready to see who baked it all
You are going to go have fun
but remember when the clock strikes 1
it’s time to go home
Happy Thanksgiving to all
and to all a good night
Thanksgiving
by Melanie
4th grade
Yay it’s Thanksgiving
let’s get ready
I am going to tell you all about my day,
My favorite part about it is
spending time with my family.
Lots of family are going to come.
And Mac and Cheese will be my favorite smell.
I am grateful for all my
family’s time and cooking
