Poem #180

Yea!
Here's the last one, written by everyone in class over the last two days...

    Our   Lives

   Inside   our   hearts

   Blood   Family   Friends   Love

          Zion

   My   warm   covers   over   me

   The   ceiling   of   my   bedroom

   The   ball   I   throw   in   my   backyard

   Bright   white   clouds

   Light   blue   sky

   The   sizzling   atmosphere

   The   yellow   gleaming   sun

   The   Dark   Milky   Way

There it is! A year of poetry!
Thanks, everyone, for all of your readership and for all of your support. Have a wonderful summer!
Mr. Fleischer

Poem #164

Here's one from Raina...

     Summer   Days

   On  summer  days

   We  go  to  the

   Beach   and   we   go   in   the   sandy

   Water.

   Sand   goes   in   between   our   toes.

   Sand   tickles   us.   We   lie   down   in   the   sand.

   We   get   sandy.

   Mom   helps   me   make   a   sandcastle.

   It   comes   out   how   I   really   like   it.

Thanks, Raina!

Poem #158 & 159 & 160 & 161!

Hello, Everyone!
I've had technical difficulties with the blog account these last few days but now it's back on board so here are the poems we've missed!

     Chickens

   Leather   legs.   Lightning

       Colored

                         Feathers

   Bubblegum   colored

                       Beaks

   Moon   white   eggs

   When   I   think   of

    Chickens   there   is

     A   Ferris Wheel

          in

              my

             heart.

            CHICKENS!

Thanks, Alessandro!

     Flowers

   In   winter

   Flowers

       don't   bloom

   In   spring

   Flowers   bloom

   and   little

   Girls   pick

   Them   for

   Their   mom.

Thanks, Kyra!

     Weird

   When   I   walk

   Alone,   I   feel   like

   A   monster   is   behind

   Me   but   I   never   know

   If   it   is   real.   I   feel   so   weird

   But   I   hear   her   steps

   Maybe   it's   my   sister

Thanks, Patrick!

     Autumn   Olive

   Autumn   olive

   The   smell   of   wet   green   leaves

   And   the   little   red   berries

   One   little   snail   on   one   little   leaf

   Little   diamonds   growing   everywhere

   And   the   snail   is   brown   and   gray

   And   the   sun   shines

   On   me.

Thanks, Eva!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #157

Here's one from Grace...

     Fire


   Fire   waves   coming
   Out   of   places
   Like   the   sun
   And   the   sunset
   Coming   down
   Fire   going   everywhere
   Smoke   flashing   towards   you.

Thanks, Grace!

Have a good night, everyone!
