A Hat Made of Lemons!

2nd Graders at Swift Elementary had a fun time using their imaginative powers to join things together in inventive ways. These poems are called “Swan of Bees” poems, and they allow us to see unusual pictures in our mind’s eye….while also enjoying some great laughs!

I wish I had Deztinee T.

I wish I had clouds made of marshmallows
I wish I had a pool made of chocolate
I wish I had a couch made of gummy bears
I wish my bed was made of cheese pizza
I wish my pillows were cotton candy
I wish my closet was a secret door to candy land
I wish my remote freezed my sisters
I wish my slippers were real puppies
I wish I had long hair made of twizzlers
I wish my bathtub turned into a waterpark

A tree made out of chocolate
A tree that drops candy
A balloon full of chocolate
A balloon made of nachos
A planet made of candy
…..
A pencil made out of gummy
A notebook full of magic
A robot that gives….
a wall of candy
