Poems from 4th & 5th grade students - 2007.

Leaf

The wind blew me from
my mother, my sisters & my brothers.
It blew me left & right.
Then, I stop on a lawn.
Where someone picks me up and throws me out.

Moon

The moon is like a white round ball
as it floats in the night time sky.
But when it is day it fades away
and then comes back another dark lonely night.

---

Buzz

There lives an odd bee named Buzz
Nobody knows what he does
He just walks around
On the grass and ground
What a sad odd bee that Buzz.

Seaweed

The seaweed twirls and spins
It dances in the waves
It leans to its neighbor to start a conga line
With fish and seahorses dancing around them
They dance and spin together

---

Snowflake

A snowflake glides through the air
twisting, twirling
jumping here, there and everywhere
like a white orchid petal
unhooked from its flower
floating gently to the earth.

Hummingbird

Hummingbird
Fast
Small
No sound
Hovers
Like
A
Helicopter

My Secret Place

The place I go
Has not a flake of snow
Not too hot
Not too cold
After some slight hesitation
I go there to use my imagination
From there I can see the birds’ migration
From there I can feel the grounds vibration.
Can you get to this place?
I think not so
For only I know where to go.
