This week we got started with a second session of afterschool workshops at Clissold and our group has grown to include a few kindergarteners and 1st graders. I was really excited to introduce our participants to Leslie Reese’s I Am Poem, which is always an enjoyable writing exercise. This week’s featured poet is 1st grader Bennet. Enjoy his poem!

I Am Cool Bennet

I am cool
I wonder if I am great
I hear my dog bark
I see trees
I want toys.
I am cool
I pretend that I am big
I feel happy
I touch trees
I worry about trees dying
I cry when I am sad.
I am cool
I understand that people are sad
I am I am good
I dream I can fly
I hope that I can fly
I am cool
