Collaborative Poems @ Edwards Elementary

This week at Edwards, we learned about collaboration. We read a poem that had images and text and talked about how poets and artists collaborate all the time. Then, we played a game in which we drew with a partner and then wrote poems from our drawings!

My Cool Stuff Cesar S.

It is the best of all time.
The jersey smells like Jordan 1’s.
Jordan is like Jesus.

It is horrible like rollercoasters.
It looks like an imaginary monster.
It looks like a fish.

It green like leaves.
It is big like New York.
It is fun like me.

My Weekend S0lceleste A.

The ocean smells like garbage.
The boat looks like a ball.
I feel wide planks.

My pencil looks like a graph.
My paper looks like a poster.

Hearts are red.
V.S.
I dream that the hearts are dancing.

Random Stuff Joshua M.

The superhero is like a marshmallow.
The house looks like a green apple.
The car is big and wide.

“Go Cubs” is like “Go Yankees.”
The big C is like a coffee mug.
“Go Cubs” smells like hot dogs.

The Jordans look like Nikes.
The Jordans smell like a new car.
The shoe looks like a backward person.

Foul Creatures Edward C.

I wish animals could talk.
There was awesome flying ice cream.

A friendly devil in my imagination walked by.

This boy smells bad.

Emojis Alexander A.

It smiles at me.
It is funny.
It has a big smile.

It has states.
It has no water.
It is a round circle.

It is bad.
It is good.
It is haunting the farm.

Untitled Hugo H.

The air feels like cold ice on your body.
The air smells like a paper.
The air looks blank like clouds.

The S’s are like a snake slithering.
The S’s are like a balloon string.
The S’s are like an alligator swimming.

The man is very hot next to the sun.
The man lives in an upside-down world.

The Very Tall Forest Alexander Q.

BB-8 is in Star Wars.

Lasers came out of my T.V.

It is like my house.
My money in the beach.
The tree seeds hallow.

The sunset looks like
melting ice cream.
A fresh creme donut.

A Lady Across the Rainbow Elise R.

The car is made of metal.
It rolls on wheels.

It is a tired lady.
This is also very sad.

It is a rainbow with
a pot of gold for the
leprechaun.

The Sharpie and the Animals Giovanni M.

The dog barked at me.
The dog told me “hi.”

The cat said meow.
The cat said “wassup, Doc.”

The Sharpie stood still.
The Sharpie moved without
anybody touching it.
