Poem #142
Here's one from Eva...
Mountains
So Much Depends
Upon mountains
High up in the sky
Mountains float high up
In the sky. Mountain
Lions come out at night and
Owls to crick crack
Through the night.
Thanks, Eva!
Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #140
Here are two from Grace...
Friendship Makes A Friend
Friendship makes
An awesome friend.
Because you ask
Do you want to be
My friend
They will probably say
yes.
Horses
Horses flashing
Through the wind like
Fire. Horses run like
The wind going faster
And faster. Under the bright
Moon and one stares up.
And the grass rising up
To their heels.
Thanks, Grace!
Have a good night, everyone!

Here's one from Alessandro...
Snow Lion
So much depends
Upon a snow lion
Camouflaging
In the snow. Their
Glittering green
Eyes shining in the sun.
The snow lion
Tackling the snow with his claws.
So much depends
Upon a snow lion.
Thanks, Alessandro!
Enjoy the nice weather, everyone!
Hope to see you tomorrow morning!

Poem #131 and #132
Here's one poem each from Reina and Carter...
Cat
A cat slinks around the neighborhood
Black and frightening. It climbs
A tree and it sleeps with it's place.
It walks and chases a bird and eats
It.
Thanks, Reina!
Boomerang
Flying
All around
In the air
And close to the
Ground
Going from me
Far far away
Coming to me
From far far aw-
ay
Thanks, Carter!
Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #130
Ms. Whalen introduced several first graders to a poem by William Carlos Williams. Eva and Lylith used that poem as a model for their own...
So Much Depends...
So much depends
Upon flowers
Glazed with
Water beside the
Red bucket
Under the sun
Thanks, Eva!
So Much Depends...
So much depends
Upon horses
Upon wind
Chasing it
Upon the prairie soil
Thanks, Lylith!
