Poem #89

Here's one from Alessandro...

     Snow


  Snow   is   white
  Snow   is   cold
  Snow   is   hard
  Snow   is   watery
  Snow   is   for   snowball   fights
  Snow   is   fun

Thanks, Alessandro!  (He's out sick today... Feel better!)

Have a good night, everyone!

PS - Our next Parents as Reading Partners is scheduled for February 11th, 8:30 AM!

Poem #87 and #88

Here's one for yesterday and one for today...

    Dogs


  Dogs   hate   cats
  Dalmatians   love   cats
  Dogs   dig
  Dogs   chase   cats
  Dogs   bury   bones
  I   like   dogs!

Thanks, Marcos!


     Bluebirds


  Bluebirds   bluebirds
  Everywhere!
  Where   do   they   go?
  Just   look   over   there.
  They   sit   on   trees.   And
  They   fly   in   the   air.
  Birds   can   fly   in   different
  Ways.   Their   feathers   keep
  Birds   warm.   Bluebirds
  Bluebirds   everywhere.

Thanks, Sophie!

Have a good night everyone!

Poem #86

Here's one by Olivia...

   I   See   the   Moon


     I   see   the   moon.
     I   like   the   moon.
     It   is   beautiful.
     Yes   it    is   beautiful.
     If   you   see   the   moon.
     You   will   like   it.
     The   moon   shines   at   me.

Thanks, Olivia!

Have a nice night, everyone! Don't forget to check out the moon!

Poem #85

Lylith seems to be working on a collection of nature poems.  Here's another...

     Flowers


   Grow   grow   grow
   All   around   me
   Smell   so   sweet
   Like   a   treat
   I   just   fall  onto
   The   grass   and
   Smell   the   sweet
   Flowers   until   I
   Fall   asleep
   Flowers.

Thanks, Lylith!

Have a good evening, everyone!

Poem #84

Welcome back! It feels like weeks since our last poem. Those snow days have a way of suspending time.

Anyway, here's one from James. If you remember, his good old dog, Casey, died not so long ago. And, like any good writer, James revisits those big important topics again and again. Here's another one for Casey...

     Casey


  Casey's   soft   fur
  Her   blue   eyes
  Loved   to   carry   balls
  Loved   getting   pets
  You   say   "come,"   comes
  Now   she's   gone
  We   carry   her
  In   our   hearts


Thanks, James!

Goodnight, everyone!

Poem #83

Here's one from Lylith (she's out sick today - feel better Lylith!)...

    Outdoors


   See  the  flowers
   As   the   wind   blows
   Instead   of
   Staying   indoors
   Get   dressed   and
   Go   outdoors
   And   have   some
   Outdoors   fun
   With   your   friends
   Outdoors

Thanks, Lylith!  Good advice! I think I'll call some good friends and go sledding this weekend!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #82

Here's a poem from Patrick...

     Motorboat


  I   love   motorboats.
  They   go   fast.
  They   zip   through   the
  Crashing   waves.   They
  Go   off   jumps   and   do
  Tricks.   They   flip.
  They're   all   different
  Colors.   I   want   to   see
  A   motorboat   race.

Thanks, Patrick!

Have a nice night, everyone!
