Poetry Friday: Photos and Poems from After School Poetry Club
Bars
Bars so slippery they always give me blisters
But I still always do it anyway
I think they’re fun
I see warm and cool colors
Like blue and yellow.

Flowers in the garden
Flowers in the garden dancing in the sun
Oh how I love to see the pretty flowers in the garden
Bush leaves shake when the wind blows
Pink and blue flowers and green grass sways.
by Brooklyn, 1st grade
Playground
The swings go swinging
The slide goes dripping
The basket ball so lonely
Just going
Drip drop drip drop
by Sarah, 1st grade
Pretty Tulips
Pretty tulips in the garden
Little hearts hidden in the flower
If you look very closely you will see love
by Jaegan, 1st grade
Rain
Small green buds
Dragonfly heart beats
A slick of rain falls
Tulips shine.
by Clare, 2nd grade
Tulips look like fruit
Like juicy apples and peaches
The stems like leaves on a tree
by Ember, 1st grade
In a forest
Blue violet bells hang
Softly misted
by Tasha, 5th grade
These students (and some others) have been meeting after school to do photography and poetry. These were their entries for the school art show. Poetry Friday is being hosted at Becky’s Book Review. Hop on over and see what others are sharing.
Will you be in Portland, Oregon, September 27, 2008? Look here for more details.
Heading out for the weekend. Enjoy!
Happy Reading.

These are wonderful AND beautifully displayed!
Jone,
I love the poems and photographs. What a wonderful and creative after school project. One of the teachers at my school used to do a similar project with her third graders. Her students took picture of flowers and wrote poems about them. Later, the pictures and poems were exhibited at a popular cafe in the town.
I am always incredibly impressed with the poetic talent displayed by your students! I hope you continue to share their work with us.
