SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Sunflower seeds on the head
look like a million sunspots
around the sun
eating the sun
"munching, lunching
along."

                        Au Nguyen
                           Grade 3    

 

RAINDROPS

When little
raindrops
drop on my car
window
they 
look 
like little
tadpoles
gliding
         gliding
in
     the
           rain.

                      Ngoc Truong
                           Grade 3    

 

SNAILS

Snails crawl
like a turtle
bringing their home
everywhere they go.

Snails are slimy
and yucky
like a worm 
in the rain.

Snails can tell
a story
under water.
Stories about 
a bunch of bubbles
blowing   blowing
and more blowing.

                       Ngoc Truong
                            Grade 3    

 

THE EARTH

The earth is a marble in space
it is riding around the sun
like a basketball
rolling rolling
around
the hoop.

                            Cote Parisian
                                 Grade 2    

 

A SEASHELL

A seashell is
like a top twirling
twirling
don't twirl it fast
or it will
be dizzy
and when 
you twirl it
it looks like
a pretty
pink rainbow

           Kathleen Ma
             Grade 3    

 

PEOPLE

People are walking
back and forth
same people
walking
back and forth
back and forth
back and forth
       same 
              same
                      same
                              people

                                  Katherine Nguy
                                      Grade 3    

 

FEATHER

It 
looks like a brush
dip it in ink
and it will turn
into a pen.
                      Justin Hamilton
                          Grade 3    

 

TULIPS

Tulips are 
closing their
eyes in the 
evening.
Remember
be quiet
when tulips
are
sleeping.

                   Ngoc Truong
                     Grade 3    

 

LADYBUGS

Ladybugs fly into
the sky with their
polk-a-dot shells
opening like
flowers blooming.

                  Cote Parisian
                    Grade 3    

 

THE BIRDS

The birds are singing
little angels
in the sky
and a girl
and a boy
with the angels
singing singing
so sweet like
a butterfly opening
ready to sing a song.

                                Melissa Dao
                                 Grade 3    

 

GINGER

A little person
sitting down
crossing his
arms
thinking
about the sea.

                            Ron Abraham
                              Grade 3    

 

SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Sunflower seeds
are so black
and small and
tiny
like a baby
monster's teeth.

                     April Harper
                       Grade 2    

 

LOUD BIRDS

Singing like rain
splashing like lightning
thunder roared.

                             Germane Rodillo
                                Grade 3       

 

A POEM

A poem is like a mom
to sing to you
or a dad who could tuck you
in bed at night time
as you close your eyes
and close your eyes
and sleep in the dark
and the night 
close your eyes
and close your eyes.
                   Pauline Ming Han
                        Grade 3
