8th Grade-Food Poems Pt. 1

Food Glorious Food! We started by thinking of a hypothetical situation: If aliens were coming to earth to take you away to their planet, what is the one dish you would absolutely have to eat before leaving? That got a whole conversation about favorite foods started with our 8th grade class. Students then got to writing about a food and using all of their senses to describe it. Just like a good meal though, good things take time, so stay tuned, because next week, we’ll have a few more food pieces up to share. Enjoy this week’s poets!

8th Grade

Mac n Cheese Theresa J.

Baked mac & cheese
looks like the the sun on
a platter
tastes like cheese
dancing on my tongue
smells like Thanksgiving
feels like my mother baking me my own
pan because I’m the only
one who wanted some.
Baked mac & cheese,
the sun on a platter

Wing Stop Samaria K.

Wing Stop looks good
It tastes like sweet and spicy with
good seasoning.
The smell of hot honey rub
wings, make me want to sing.
Season the chicken, put flour on it
fry it then put the sauce on it.
When I first went inside
of Wing Stop I was lost,
makes me want to run
20 miles
