Untitled Class Poem

(each student selected a snippet from their writing from their observations writing outside)

The sound of a bird chirping, chirping a beautiful song

trees of green and skies of blue with white puffy clouds

so softly

-drip

-drip

a whistle burns my ears- that's all I hear

the smell of fresh dirt that just came out of the ground

The smells of dirty old water

the outdoors the air smells so fresh and crisp in the fall

I hear the air and the day is hot

the air vent roaring like an angry tiger

feeling like a newborn baby about to be picked up by his mother because they feel close to each other

a black widow, about the size of a new pencil eraser without its legs

it is almost like a knife

the grass is prickling my legs like a thousands needles.

 

Inspired from - How to Pick a Rock, by Byrd Baylor

It smells like bugs have been on it. It feels like a bumpy rock. Its color is brown and silver. Its name would be Rocksy. She makes me smile. She makes me laugh.

My rock, covered with red and brown dirt

looking like it has tiny rocks inside it

white and shaped like a square with sharp ends

my rock is rough

If you put it in the grass, it hides as if you have pulled a blanket over your head

it's hot. It's warm. How do I describe this?

it smells like water, dirty water

smooth and hard, shaped like a car

it is copper-brown, with a little silver-gray, and a bit of gold

shaped like a heart
