Poem #109

Here's one from Patrick...

     Rockets


   Fly   through   the
   Sky   like   lightning.


   Rockets   they   tumble
   Like   gymnasts.


   Rockets   are   all   different   colors
   Like   a   rainbow.


   Rocket   tips   feel   like
   A   spear.

Thanks, Patrick!

Have a nice vacation week everyone!

First Cole's...

    In   My   Closet


  Monsters   in   my

  Monsters   on   the
  Stairs   Monsters
  Under   my   bed
  Monsters   on   the
  Ceiling

Poem #105 and #106

Here are two poems, one from Olivia (it's her birthday today! Happy Birthday Olivia!) and one from Sophie...

     Poem   About   Her


   My   rose   was   growing
   It   was   turning
   Red   I   was   happy   because
   It   was   for   my   mom
   For   Mother's   Day
   Then   it   was   Mother's   Day
   It   was   finished   growing
   My   red   rose   was
   Beautiful
   I   needed   to   water   it   again
   And   then   I   showed   my   mom.

Thanks, Olivia!


     Dogs


   Dogs   dogs   all   around.
   Some   have   thick   fur.   And
   Some   have   thin.


   Some   have   fluffy   fur.
   And   some   not   at   all.


   Dogs   are   cute.   And
   Most   dogs   wear   tiny
   Coats   in   the   cold   cold   winter.


   Dogs   dogs   my   favorite
   Dogs!

Thanks, Sophie!

Have a nice night, everyone!

Poem #104

Here's one from Patrick...

     Soccer


  Run  with  the  ball
  Jumping  over  feet
  Speeding   down   the   field
  Weaving   through   opponents
  Sliding   and   jumping
  Passing   and   passing
  Aiming   and   shooting
  GOAL!

Thanks, Patrick!

Enjoy the spring-like evening, everyone!

It's Sophie's birthday this Saturday!  And here's one of her poems...

    I   Have   a   Little   Dog

  I   have   a   little   dog.

  Her   name    is   Lucy.

  She's   soft   and   blue.

  And   I   sowed   her   by   hand.

  She's   made   of   a   blue   sweater.

  And   she   has   her   own   scarf.

  She's   always   cold.   I   love   her.

  And   she's   my   favorite   dog.

   The   Woods


  The   woods
