Poetry Friday: Young Poets Part Two
The young poets took photos for inspiration. Here are some that they took, thanks to my new tech, Photo Story
Here are poems from the remaining poets in the club.
Red
Flower
PrettyFlowers
Red flower
Smells like spring
They are quiet but bubble
They are sitting in a vase starting to grow
–Courtney, 4th Grade
The Glass Owl
Its big, clear eyes
Glow in the daylight
The other owls
Fly with their furry wings
The sharp talons of the glass owl
Feels like something
Or someone
Scratched my face Hard
After it lands back in the cupboard
I walk away
–Hannah, 2nd Grade
I see a purple flower
In the springtime
I pick it up and I smell it
And I bring it in my house
And I say to my brother
“Oh what a beautiful day. It is OK!”
–Jasmin, 2nd Grade
Sunshine
A flower as bright as sun
Telling me “good morning!”
With the petals of the flower
-Jenna, 1st Grade
Yellow
Green
Clear vase
Two yellow flowers
They are sitting in the vase
The vase is as clear as a window
–Makayla, 3rd Grade
My New Baby
Small
Tiny
Growing like nature
In my mother’s stomach
Coming in August
–Sabrina, 3rd Grade
There the dragonfly sits
Still and alone
Stares at you with its
Big, beady eyes.
It leaves a shadow on the ground
Looks just like a miracle
But by the time you look at it
Twice
It’s gone
–Sophia, 4th Grade
Ferns surround
A silent fairy
Hidden from people
Another fairy
Sits surrounded by
Blue-violet petals.
–Tasha, 4th Grade
The Library Flower
Red
Green
Pretty flower
In the library
I love the pretty look
I love the way the leaves flop gently
–McKenzie, 3rd Grade
Aren’t these delightful? It is April 27. Three days left of National Poetry Week. I have written 27 poems for the month and am within 3 of accomplishing my goal to write a poem a day. You can read my poems at Deo Writer.
Happy Reading.

I found your blog(s) through a poetry carnival and I am getting a big kick out of them. You are doing great work with kids, and I am impressed that you have managed to write a poem a day this month. I wish I had thought to try to do that at the beginning of the month, but maybe I’ll try it in May! I am running an online Summer Writing Club for kids that might interest you. There’s a link to it on my home page.
I’ll be back to visit again!
