Poem by Mary

Lie,
I'm a supper [super] star
I'm a bat
I like bruslsprowts [brussel sprouts]
I like rats
I'm a mountain
I'm a note
I'm katchup [ketchup]
I'm a word
I like to eat little birds


Poem by Mary
I used to colect shels
Now I colect frogs
I used to be in first grade
Now I'm in fith [fifth] grade
I used to like math
Now I like reading
I used to eat hamburgers
Now I eat chicken fingers
I used to like blue
Now I like yellow
I used to want to be
Now I want to be a dancer
I used to be writing
Now I am done

Poem by Lynsey
If I were water I would flood everyones house.
If I were water I'd turn a consturction site into a pool
If I were water I'd go in peoples homes and destroy their
prized pesetions [possessions]
If I were water I'd make the desert wet.
If I were water I would break everything I see.



Poem by Lynsey
I wish for money,
To give to homeless people.
I wish for Ice cream lunch, breakfast, and dinner.
I wish buses were like limozines [limousines].
I wish cars were free.
I wish food was free.
I wish your parents did whatever you want.
I wish every home had a miad.

Poem by Julie
I had a dream where everything
was pink and blue then I heard
a pink. It was from a pink girl
taping a blue bell. I wished she
was gone. She was gone as
quick as a rabbit.

Poem by Antonia
I used to drink Pepsi but now I drink 7up.
I used to listen to hip-hop but now I
listen to rock. I used to be a dandelion
but now I'm a rose. I used to like
blue but now I like pink. I used to
like football but now I like basketball.
I used to be a orange but now I'm an apple.



Poem by Antonia
I am the snow sprinkling
down on everything. Changing
colors dark and bright. I am the
snow soft, cold and beautiful. The
beautiful white snow.

"Bison"
Poem by Lynsey

He looks like black and brown
cotton balls. He has a hump on his head.
He has brown mud on his mouth. He
has a tag on his right ear. One eye
looks closed and the other is open. The
bison looks hurt. He looks mad!
He's thinking about the animal or
person who tried to hurt him and
he wants to hurt them back.
He thinks, "I love the sunrise."

"Comparisons"
Poem by Lynsey

The grass is like seaweed.
The house is like a box.
The wind is like steam.
The snow is like Icecream.
The sun is like a happy face.
The stars are like cookie cutters.
The apple is like wheels.

Poem by Henry

If I was snow
I would cover the tres [trees] so
the kids wood not have school
I would cover all the Hills
so all the kids could
sla [sleigh] ride.

Poem by Henry

I'm sorry air plan [plane] because
I gave you to crazy person and
he crashed you in to a bilding [building].

Poem by Antonia

I dream I go to Disneyland.
I dream I would be famous.
I dream I could help the poor.
I dream of living in the city.
I dream of living in the country.
I dream of owning a restaurant.

Poem by Antonia

Her lipstick was as red
as a apple. She was
as pretty as a white rose. His
eyes twinkled like the stars.
Her hair was as long as a leaf. The shadow
was as dark as the night sky. The apple
was as shiny as a diamond. The
clouds are as puffy as cottonballs.
The diamond sparkled lke glitter. The paper
was as white as the
clouds. The wind was as strong as a
tree swaying.
His goldfish was as
orange as a orange.

Lunch.
