First Poems

A girl with a dream
A girl with a dream
I’m just a girl
I love being me
Yoohoo!!!

Once there was a detective.
The detective’s name was Rose.
She was having chocolate pancakes
for breakfast.

One girl called her.
The girl’s name was Katie.
“My watch is lost,”
Katie said.

“I will be right there,”
Rose said.
“Ah…
You are wearing the watch!”

(Swara wrote this poem while reading Nate the Great story book. )

Rainy Day
I waited for the rain to stop.
But it didn’t stop.
I wanted to play outside,
But I have to wait for the rain to stop.

I felt so bored inside the house.
Then the rain stopped!

We weren’t with each other but now he’s my brother
My mother said to my brother
Go make a sandwich and get ham
So we could jam with each other
And my mother

I saw a Big Mac riding in a Cadillac
With jack by a shack with Shaq
And Jack took a huge bite out of that Big Mac
In a shower because I had so much power

Nature is kind
nature is nice
but people try to kill it
and it is so unfair
for the animals!
I don’t like it
because it is rude to the animals!
Animal’s deserve to be saved!

My cat is very vicious
My dog is very sweet
My sister is like the dog
The cat sometimes to my mum
Is the boss of the family
That’s why she’s very grumpy
My dad sometimes too
But the cat is very smelly

Remember the power of being yourself,
can be made and put on a shelf.
Don’t mind what others say,
but just think in your own way.

Just follow your dreams no matter what they are,
don’t worry – of course they’ll take you very far.
You won’t give up, you’ll try your best,
If you travel long you’ll need a rest!

Wherever you go,
You might put on a show.
Be who you want to be,
what will you see?
Maybe we’ll see rabbits, tigers or even deer
but go past the finish line and your mission’s complete!

My turtle Fred
He is not dead
He sleeps in his shell
And when he does die
I guess he will smell

The winter breeze blows
and blows
The snow falls
The trees are white and glow
The animals hibernate
and migrate
The children do snowball fights
Until the night

If everything was upside down.
If people were swimming in the river,
They would fall down in the sky.
Ants and people
Would start having conversations
With the sky.
Also the sky and sun
Would be able to talk.
People would walk on their head or hands,
Like in a handstand,
And also, swim on their head.
They would eat food,
The restaurant people and ice cream people
Would serve their food
On feet and legs
Instead of hands.
People would eat with their legs
But then it would get stuck in their neck.
They would do things with their neck,
And legs straight up
And use their legs to speak,
And even write upside down.
