Poetry Month: Day Six (by Oscar)

I chose "The Talking Tissue" because it is fun to read and I think it's funny.Also I enjoyed writing it and I would like to share it with everyone.

Here it is:

The Talking Tissue
I woke up one
morning,
and guess what
I found,
a talking tissue,
laying on the ground.
I tried to pick it up,
but it jumped
away,I guess
I'll just stand here,
day-after-day.
I said:"Why are you here
in my house?"
It said:"because I am
running
from a
mouse!"
I stared at it
and it stared at me,
all of this weirdness
makes me have to pee,
I stared at it more,
it pointed under my bed,
I looked and saw
a puny little head.
The tissue ran strait out of the place,
and the mouse,
well...
it jumped on my face.
I was mad,
the tissue
 felt bad.
I was going to call my dad,
but when I opened my mouth
the mouse crawled down
my throat
and my cat jumped from
under my bed.

Poetry Month: Day Four (by Daniel)

I chose "Bathroom" because I really like this poem. I like sharing this poem and having other people see it! I hope you enjoy it!

Bathroom
Uh-Oh! Uh-Oh! Got to go!
Katie Clements says no!
It's slowly dripping down my pants!
It feels like a bunch of crawling ants!

Sweat is dripping down my face!
I really don't want to be in this case!
Oh-My-Gosh! Katie says yes!
I can't believe I'm out of this mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poetry Month: Day Three (by Stella)

I chose "Here Comes" because I thought it would be a good poem for Spring and Summer. I also choose it because it doesn't talk just about summer it talks about what happens in summer.

Here Comes
Here comes summer,
Here comes summer,
Chirping robins,
budding roses.
Here comes summer,
Here comes summer,
Gental showers,
summer clothes.
Here comes summer,
Here comes summer,
Whoosh-shiver- there it goes.

Poetry Month: Day Two (by Joley)

I chose "Hurray" because my birthday is tomorrow [my birthday is 3rd of May] And I thought of having a fun one and a lively one!!! Also i was inspired by Shel Silverstein.


Hurray
"Hurray" I say with joy in my heart and soul.

"Hurray" I say with a jump and a leap.

"Hurray" I say with a toy kangaroo in my hand and a pizza slice in the other.

"Hurray" I say running down and up the curly stairs with a pencil in one hand and a jacket in the other what I need to bring down stairs today.


"Goodnight" I say with a pillow and a cuddly toy and I head to my moms and dads room.

"My birthday is tomorrow"I say z
                                                        z
                                                           z

"Hurray" I say
                       z
                         z

                       z
With a cuddly toy and me in the middle dad on the left mom on the right.

"HURRAY" We all say !!!!

Poetry Month: Day One (by Imani)

I chose "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein because I love how the tree was always loyal to the boy as he grew up. Even though the boy  forgot about the tree. The tree gave him every thing he needed in life. Again even though the boy forgot the tree the tree was very kind.


The Giving Tree (an excerpt)

Then one day the boy came to the tree

and the tree said, “Come, Boy, come and climb

up my trunk and swing from my branches

and eat apples and play in my shade

and be happy.”

“I am too big to climb and play,” said the boy.

“I want to buy things and have fun.

I want some money.

Can you give me some money?”

“I’m sorry,” said the tree, “but I have no money.

I have only leaves and apples.

Take my apples, Boy, and sell them

in the city. Then you will have money

and you will be happy.”

-by Shel Silverstein
