Our Second Grade students, in Mrs. Walmsley's class, have been working hard in their poetry unit. They have been practicing many different forms of poetry. I had the honor hearing them read their original works. Now, the students are ready to share their writing with the world!
Blue by Kaleb
Blue like a diamond in the sky -
And the water down below
and the winter sky -
Like a cold cube of coldness
Floating around the world.
My Older Brother by Eva (who doesn't have an older bother)
My older brother is madder than a very mad raccoon.
He is never as happy like a sunshine.
He is only mad and very, very stern.
Me, on the other hand, is happy.
Happy as can be.
I always do what my parents want me to when I am very happy.
The Moment by Aden
Have you ever had a moment?
Have you ever felt the silver strings of ideas it sends to your mind?
Fast as lightening,
They streak through your mind -
Down, down
To the black pit that grows with vines. 
A Blow by Shea
A blow ho no.
A cold wind today
No book today
Hot, hot chocolate on the stove!!!
Brown blanket around me.
It is cold like the north pole.
Rose by Wansu
Oh rose, you make me blossom.
Oh rose, you make my heart pump like a thousand butterflies.
Oh rose, you're like a pretty, pink diamond,
Like a pink bird soaring through the sky,
Like a tree with pink cherry blossoms.
Oh rose, you make me blossom.
The Pencil by Oliver
A pencil can be a yellow stick.
A pencil can hurt you if you touch the tip.
A pencil can be a sword.
A pencil can write words that change your life. 
Yesterday I Saw a Bird by Angelica
Yesterday I saw a bird,
laying on a tree.
It was all red and the mouth was green.
Little, little bird
I wish I can put you in my pocket.
But I can't!
It reminds me when I was at Maker Space
I saw a sweater.
It was red and green.
Just like you!!
Pizza by Evie
Pizza you are sleeping
But you wake up just like the sun in the morning.
When you're sleeping,
You're like the full moon.
Pizza, pizza
What do you see?
I see a pizza in my tummy.
