Family Celebrity Poems

This week at Dulles we wrote poems inspired by Ashley Bryan’s poem “My Dad”. We started off by sharing some favorite memories of a family member we admire, and what it is that makes them amazing. Students then wrote a poem dedicated to that person and celebrated what they love most about them. Some students couldn’t pick just one person, and wrote about as many people as they could fit on their paper. Enjoy this weeks poems!

I Love My Mom Lily

I love my mom
She is kind
I love her so much
I want to hug her
I love her so much

My Mom is a little kitten
she smells like flowers
she is short like a little
flower that is growing
she is like the sun
in the sky
she is a diamond

My family can make the favorite foods ever!
My mom can sing!
My favorite memory is going with my dad
to a restaurant
and we laugh with joy.
Helpful, nice, pretty, thoughtful, bold.
I will always love you,
you are beautiful
just the way you are.
