Poems by 5S and 5Y
Teddy Bear, My Protector
One night I was sleeping,
Then something awakened me,
All of a sudden, something popped up,
Scared me like there's no tomorrow,
Then my teddy bear came up,
And started protecting me,
He started to jump on it,
And began to bite it,
I started helping,
The monster started yelping,
He ran away,
We said Hurray,
Now, he will never come back,
And I'm sure that's a fact!!!
By: Cooper Rogers
I love Winter by Erin Hill
Icy cold weather
Life size snowmen
Oh, so many colorful sleds
Very tasty hot chocolate
Everywhere I look fluffy white crystals fluttering to the ground
Winter wonderland!!
I am slipping everywhere
Never swimming at a beach
Toasty, warm clothes
Everyone jumping in the snow, instead of the water
Reading a book by the fire
Christmas Break by Alex Habekost
Today is the last day of school until Christmas break,
So we are having a party with cookies,cupcakes, but where's the cake ?
Yesterday we watched The Grinch,
and we knew his heart wasn't even an inch.
Today in school we are having a half day,
with me that is just a-okay!
Over Christmas vacation we are supposed to have a great time,
Either it's playing outside or for this poem to rhyme.
Well would you look at the time
It is 2:35, time to go!
I am going to miss you so
I will walk out really slow.
Skating by Gabi Carlos
You're putting on skates...
As you walk into the ice arena you fall,
When you start moving, that means you're skating !!
The wind is blowing, your face is turning rosy red,
You can feel the cold ice beneath you,
All of a sudden you begin jumping and twirling !
You're doing it, you're skating !
Winter by Austin Smith
As I feel the cold breeze
going down my shoulders, as I'm rapidly
going down the hill fast - Slam !!! I
crash into a big pile of snow. Doesn't
really matter as long as I get my hot
chocolate.
Summer by Caroline Moffet
So much fun at the beach
Umpires at my softball games
My friends and I swimming and tanning
Mom taking me to the pool
Eating all the great food at our parties
Riding the rides at the fair !
Charlie by Anna Keenan
Charlie, you're so chunky.
But you aren't a monkey.
You're also very funky.
If you went to school,
you would flunky.
You are not very hunky.
That's why we call you Chunky Charlie.
Candy by Mary Rose
Candy costs money and is handy dandy
Appetizing and I crave it
Not nutritious but delicious
Delectable to my tongue
Yellow, orange, red, blue, green, purple !
Books by Galen Harper
Books are exciting and adventurous,
Where my imagination grows,
You can escape realty
and go to a place where no one knows,
To sailing the seas with Charlotte Doyle,
To hiding in a museum with Claudia and Jamie,
Books are amazing and fun to read.
Flowers by Cana Courtney
There are all types of flowers
Roses, tulips and daisies too,
They all come together with a
Bouquet for you.
Of course, every flower is different
In its color, size or shape
No matter how a flower looks
It will always be lovely to me !
The Bike Ride by Theo Guerin
Feel the sun pouring its light on you,
Hear the wind racing by your ears,
See the blurry figures of houses, trees, and bushes,
smell the fresh air,
Taste the thrill and excitement.
Skating by Amelia Durawa
Skating is fun
Knowledge is important
Arena is cold
Taking chances
Ice is slippery
Never giving up
Greatful !
Dance by Abigail Lively
I love dance
to be able to do tricks
it feels like you're in a trance
and I'm almost down in my splits
When I'm on stage
dancing in my tights
I sometimes feel afraid
the lights are way too bright
I love to jump
and Kick
and Leap
and sometimes after I get a treat
I Love to dance, I Love to dance
because it really feels like you're
in a trance !!
Texting by Erin Hill
Texting is so fun, for everyone.
Let's see, if there was no such thing texting
You would have to aim, call, email,
Or wait, we shouldn't talk about this.
If there was no such thing as texting the world would be a no-fun zone
We would not want that now would we ?
That's why texting is awesome !!
Kite Drama by Kylie Hathaway
Whoosh,whoosh,whoosh!
Soaring in the air,listening to the sound of the wind.
I like being a kite, that can listen to the sound
of the ocean scratching at the gleaming, rocky, sand.
Crash,Crash,Crash!
The sound of the city cars hitting each other.
"OMG, what if they hit my beautiful, fluttering wings."
I hate being a kite who has to deal with all the sounds of noise, people on the beach.
Or the annoying sounds of cars crashing into each other.
Swoosh,swoosh,swoosh!
Swaying in the cool, windy air,
"Oh not again, here comes a tree, Ahhh."
Crash, "Just my luck!"
That's what I like and dislike about being a kite!
Basketball by Kyle Boyd
5 seconds to go on the clock
I'm dribbling down the basketball court
Final shot of the game
Down by two
I shot it up
It was in the air
The buzzer went off
The ball was bouncing around the rim
Finally it went in
We won !
Everyone was happy!
Snowday by Mateo Garcia
As I walk outside the house, the snow crumbles between my feet. The snow feels
soft and cold. I look at everything around me. The snow looks like cotton and the trees look old, but
then I almost slip on an ice patch and then I cough and start to feel cold as I go back inside my house.
Gymnastics by Elizabeth Dourian
Gymnastics is my thing !
Young kids make it to a high level.
My favorite spot is the bar, although it hurts.
No matter how young or ol, you'll still have fun.
An active, flexible, complicated, and competitive sport.
Stretching, sticking landings and perfection
The best sport ever !
I love it so much
Causes injuries !!
Spectacular sport!
Monday Morning by Lucy Enos
Mad to get out of bed.
On my way down the stairs slowly as possible
No more staying up late.
Daydreaming in class
A's are going down the drain.
You can barely keep your eyes open
Monday mornings are the worst
On the computer in my head
Really hoping the day will go by fast
Not wanting to attend school
It's so much harder to get up
No more sleepovers for the week
Grumpy
Foggy by Owen Hess
Foggy is my cat
He is very fat
He weighs 13 pounds
When he meows he makes weird sounds
He had cancer, but he was tough
Now he wrestles with my kitten and his chin is very rough
When he eats
He gulps it all down
When he sleeps
He purrs and shakes his fur
That's my fat cat Foggy !
Sledding by Auguste Pizzano
Soaring like an eagle
Landing the jump
Eureka ! I've survived
Dumping snow out of my hat
Dying from laughter
Insane fun
Nothing better
Going again
The Beach by Theo Guerin
Feel the wind blowing against your face,
Hear the waves crashing on the shore,
See the shining sun as it sets below the sea,
Smell the salty sea water,
Taste the peaceful happiness.
My Blanket by Kylie Hatt
My Blanket
Keeps me warm my
Blanket keeps me safe
I take it every place
I go not knowing What's at stake
I take it to my
school
Not caring who
Will see
As long as it's
With me.
Surfing by Malcolm Hammond
Surfers everywhere.
Huge waves crashing
on top of them.
Wiping out in the wave.
Board goes flying as the wave
spits it out.
Night Time by Daniel Gaines
As the lights went out
the darkness came out
and completely blocked my vision.
As the winter chill
came in and touched
my skin I immediately
changed position.
As I closed my eyes
and gave a sigh I
then started seeing
illusions.
Sledding by Lucy Ulyatt
Sitting in my sled across from Kylie, waiting to start
Letting myself be pushed down the hill
Excitement and freedom as I fly perfectly straight !
Down,down,down,I was going so fast !
Do I lean ! I questioned
I did and too much ! I got a mouthful of snow
Now I looked around ....
Great race, Kylie ! I yelled
Victory ! I had won !
My Dog Wheaty By Grant Pertile
My dog Wheaty is a sweety, he can be a
tail wagger
face licker
butt biter
ice cube eater
And loves to play in the snow.
He is five years old
and never gets cold
and lives in a very sweet home.
He can be calm but
mostly hyper
sometimes stubborn
can be playful
jumpy
Mainly he barks at the t.v.
I did feel sad when I got the news
That he had 2 years left to live
Everyone had tears
And some fears
That something bad might happen.
Every night he gets his
daily fluids
special food
medicine morning and night
and pets and lots of hugs
We will do anything to keep him alive.
Summer by Ennis Foster
Crowded, hot, and populated
Pollution in the air
Summer everywhere
Kids in pools, People getting cool
People getting hired
People getting fired
Desireable, undesireable

Summer by Anna Keenan
Schools out ! It's summertime.
U can go to the beach. Play in the sand and get tanned.
Mmmm....cool ice cream is a sweet treat on a hot day.
Many flavors are available. Chocolate,vanilla, and many more.
Eventually summer ends and it's time for school again.
Remember to go to bed early; you have school tomorrow!
Flowers Galore by Angel Shepard
Roses, Daisies, Pansies, and more,
don't you just love, flowers galore ?
The wonderful smell, the glorious looks !
Flowers are much better than reading textbooks
I wish, I wish I could live outside with the flowers
and grow with them as the rain showers !
Sunflowers, Daffodils, Hydrangeas, and more,
Don't you just love, Flowers Galore ?
My Library Book by Sarah Pertile
My library book, my library book
oh where could it be ?
It is due today
on the fifth of May
if I don't bring it in
oh the trouble I'll be in!
last night it was right over there
on the desk by my chair
this just isn't fair
I KNOW it was there !
My library book, my library book
oh where could it be ?
I rush down the stairs
as no one else cares
almost tripping and falling
I hear my Mom calling...
"Time for breakfast!", now I must eat
better make this short and sweet
because my book I must find
or I'll be losing my mind
My library book, my library book
oh where could it be ?
I check every basket, cabinet and drawer
and get down on my hands and knees on the floor
I'm now so frantic
I just can't stand it!
Oh now I'll be late
this is such a bad fate
I continue to look high and low
and even go in the snow
My library book, my library book
oh where could it be ?
Then all of a sudden I hear
"Wake up!" right in my ear!
lifting my head, I take a look
and there on my desk is my library book!!!
This was all just a bad dream
not at all what it had seemed
My library book, my library book
oh where could it be ?.........right here with ME!
Football by Thomas Weston III
Football is my favorite sport
Ohio state is a college football team
Our hometown football team is the Pats
Tom Brady throws a soaring pass to Randy Moss to win the game
Brady goes triumphantly in an undefeated season
A win in football is great
Losing is the Lions middle name in the 2008-2009 season
Linemen are important because they protect the quarter back
Flag Football By Joshua Tate
Fun and athletic
Let the breeze blow in my face as I get a touchdown
Asking if the player is okay
Good sportsmanship
Fantastic when you win or lose
Oh, look, a touchdown!
Out of bounds stink
Trouble when two people are running after you
Bad when players aren't there
Awards at the end of the season
Lucky grab
Looking up at the ball and catching is fun
Touchdown !!
