This week, we talked about mythical creatures and symbolism. After reading “My People” by Pam Thompson, we discussed what myths and mythical creatures mean in poetry and stories. Check out some of the poetry the 5th graders wrote about whichever mythical creature they chose!

A Pretty Mermaid
by Ella
There is a pretty
mermaid somewhere
in the sea. I think they’re
cool and that’s just me.
Her hair has a silky feeling
the orange tail and yellow top.
She swims and swims
and is never gonna stop.
Her eyes sparkle as the
sun shines on them. Her
confidence glows like a
beautiful crystal gem. Her
heart is as big as the ocean.
Her personality sparks like
a curing potion. She is a pretty
mermaid. Sooo pretty.
As her heart is filled with joy.

Unicorns
by Noelle
They are magic and mystical
big and small
They smell like cotton candy
and sprinkles and fun.
They love to party
but also have to take care of their young
They need to take care of business
but still have time for fun later.

The Headless Horseman
by Pierre
The headless horseman he is sad
he has no friends no hands
he can’t even dance he had no friends
the headless horseman is all alone
he has always been he is getting
used to it now he gets left out.
He can’t even talk after all
there is nothing to talk about
He was an accident, all alone.

Unicorn
by Rashel
One day a girl named Lily was
doing a school project on unicorns
She was doing that project
for a couple of days now
Next thing you know
she had to show it to others
While she was showing them
the unicorn jumped out of the computer
Lily and other people were scared
but the unicorn was friendly, fluffy,
adorable and not scary
So then people were in love
with the unicorn.

Chupacabra
by Jonalex
Chupacabra is a demon
that was created and it lived
in a farm
it looks like a dog
but when it turns around
it will start chasing you
it will go for goats at dark.
