Group Poems @ Moos Elementary Winter 2020

During the 9th session of the Chicago Poetry, Residence students were given the challenge of writing a group poem. Students were encouraged to use all the elements of poetry we have been learning to select a theme and have each group member write a stanza for the poem. This was an exercise in theme, group work, and performance.

Seasons are summer, fall, winter, spring
summer is the hottest season
fall has colorful leaves
winter is cold
and spring is warm and cold.
My favorite season is Fall
because the leaves are colorful.
Winter is cold like a freezer.
Summer is my favorite season
summer is sunny and also very hot
windy
because I like to get wet.

Fly little butterfly
fly
fly
fly
Fly up high in the sky
just fly away
see ya another day.
Fly little butterfly
fly up high in the sky
If you don’t I might cry
we can spend time forever
just fly fly fly
Fly away butterfly
go
go
go
we love butterflies
me you and my friends
we are willing to catch one.
Take me away to a paradise.
I like your pretty wings
you are just like my drawings of you
I feel your feelings just like me!
I count you
I feed you,
but it’s time to let you go
I’m so sad I cried
Fly little butterfly
fast
fast
fast
in a flash
like a little butterfly
