White is Wednesday Full of Poems

I discovered upon reading Elaine’s post at Wild Rose Reader that color poems were the exploration of the week at The Miss Rumphius Effect . This was the perfect idea for my third graders today.  Here are a few from Mr. Johnson’s and Ms Padden’s class:

Blue is the color of
Light blue sky all up above
Up, up it goes to the sky
Eight little white puffy clouds
Bright and happy
Eight white clouds with the sky
Reading a story of the sun
Reading about the clouds
Yellow so bright for the sun
–Bailey, 3rd grade

Brown is for bear
Even browner than ever
Are you afriad or are you not?
Run, run little bear
–Sierra, 3rd grade

Red, shiny bumper
At lightning speed
Cameras flash all over the stadium
Extreme crashing
Racing cars ZOOM
–Devon, 3rd grade

Yellow is the color of
the sun shining up high
a sunflower bending in the wind
a lemon, so sour
a star shining in the sky
the shine of the school bell
–Emily, 3rd grade

Red is the color of the sunset
Everybody can do anything
Anybody can win
Dreaming of darkness at night
–Forrest, 3rd grade

Blue is the color of my team
At bat, working hard
Shooting balls out of the park
Eating hot dogs at the game
Blowing hot-dogs
All of them cheer me
Losing by one
Last inning home run
–Tanner, 3rd grade

You are my sunshine
Entering my house with a bright light
Letting me see through the shadows of the dark
Luring me into the kitchen for some tea
Out to the porch I go with my tea
Wonderful, wonderful sun.
–Maya, 3rd grade

Happy Wednesday. Happy Reading.
