A Poetry Party

(more technical glitches with these poetry posts -- the cyber gremlins must have a thing against poetry! Please check in tomorrow for the last of the student poems.)

We had way too much fun with Vida Zuljevic this past week, didn't we? She had a hard time selecting just a few student poems to include in the interview so I thought today's post should be completely devoted to more student work. 

Enjoy!

I Love Music

By Leilani, 5^th

Music is loud

and sometimes it’s soft

But I still love it

And the way it sounds.

I use my voice,

I sing, and sing, and sing…

I love the melody

That every song makes

and I play my rhythm

I start to shake,

and move, and dance...

Oh, I love music….

Poetry

By Felichiya

5^th

Poetry is a hobby

For everybody

It expresses your feelings

When you are lonely, happy, excited.

It tells what you like or you don’t.

Or your poem can be a gift!

So you see,

Everybody can take pleasure in it.

 

Fall

By Marisol, 3^rd

windy, dark

falling, raking, helping

Jackets, sweaters, swimsuits, sandals

playing, swimming, laughing

Hot, sunny

Summer

When Life Is Bad

Raheem, 5th

Why do bad things happen to good people?

We should know how to be equal, so

We all could do stuff together.

Take my hand!

Together we can take a stand

Why get mad when you can be glad for what you have

Everybody should know that nobody is perfect

Doing bad things is not worth it

You shouldn’t even be mad when life is bad

Keep what you have and be glad for what you have.

They’re finally showing me respect

But I had to earn every bit

Everything I did that got me in trouble

Wasn’t really worth it.

I'm Not Moving

By Alexia, 5^th

I’m not moving!

I have my friends

I have my family

I'm not moving

Why? I don’t want

to leave them.

That’s why!

Mother

By Liza, 5^th

Mother is a wonderful person

She gives you a hug

She gives you a kiss

She sings you a lovely song at night

and tells you

“I love you. Good night!”

                                School

                                By  Alondra, 5th

Smart kids

Caring teachers

Hot lunches, yum!

Outstanding principal

Open books to enjoy

Lovable teachers listening to your problems

Thanksgiving

By Amanda, 4th

Together with my

Happy and        

Adorable family, we admire

November because it is a

Kind of month to celebrate.

Since I have God and my family, I’m happy. I

Go shopping for food for dinner

I like turkey and

Vegetables

I like to share the
Night with my family around the table

God, thank you for everything you give me in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Clown

By Sean, 5^th

You said, you’d always be around

Now, you are nowhere to be found

I know, you are just a clown

Jack

By Ramon, 2^nd

Poor, curious

Climbing, planting, running

Working hard every day

Gardener

Lady  Bug Spots

Raquel, 5^th (a poem for two voices)

Lady                                                              

Bug

Red                                                              

Black

Even pretty while flying                          

Lovely                          

Please, don’t say you don’t like them`                 

Amazing

Could even be prettier than a butterfly

                                                                       
 Kind of small

      Spots

So pretty

                                           Probably the prettiest insects ever

Oh so wonderful

                                           Tiny and

Special
