Poetry Friday: Young Writers Club
I facilitated an after school activity over the last month or so. Students from first through fourth grade stayed to write poetry. We used cameras taking photos as inspiration. A public poetry reading was held during Family Library Night this past Wednesday. For this Friday and next, I will be sharing their poems.
Shadows
Cool
They’re clear
They follow you
Shadows come out with the sun
Shadows like to follow you like the sun
-Courtney, 4th Grade
Green
Plant
With stems
I like them
Plant and green pretty too
They are nice
They are fun to us
-Alison, 1st Grade
Two baby owls
With flowers right behind them.
Sitting togetherJust brother and sister
Listening to the sound
Of the wind rushing through the sky
In the light of the dawn.
-Alyssa, 4th Grade
Leaves
Leaves green
Red is blossom
Petals that shine like glass
The flower reminds me of outside
In spring
-Ashlyn, 1st Grade
It’s raining softly
Through the sky
Not a word is spoken in the world
-Clare, 1st Grade
People standing in the
Garden
Four people standing
Near the Garden smelling
The one
Sweet smell
The End
-Connor, 3rd Grade
The Leaf Window
I see a window through the leaves
Dirt window
Showing through
-Denae, 3rd Grade
So fun. Stay tuned for next week. Happy Reading.

Cute, Cute, Cute!
What great writers your students are.
Congratulations to you and the students involved in this wonderful after school program! I bet the kids enjoyed writing poems and making their poetry books. I look forward to reading more of your students original poems.
Those are GREAT! Thanks for sharing. You have some budding poets there.
P.S. I have a particular fondness for Clare’s and Connor’s poems.
