I AM POEM

I am creative and smartI wonder about the beachI hear a distant train I see colorful shapes when I close my eyesI want a laptop of my ownI am creative and smartI pretend to be a fashion designerI feel wind I touch spikes I worry about the P.S.S.AI cry when I watch African cats I am creative and smartI understand my cat will dieI say that I want to make Barbies at MattelI dream a lot of weird thingsI try to run faster I hope that someday I’ll work at MattelI am creative and smart

COLOR POETRYPink feels like happiness And pretty

flowers Blue tastes like cotton candy and

blueberriesYellow smells lemonade and fresh

bananasPurple looks like Amethyst and grapesGreen sounds like a slithering snake and spring

ABC POETRY A girl named Cinderella went to the

Ball where she danced with a handsome prince

Cinderella looked so pretty in her gown

Dancing until midnight

Every Girl was jealous

Finally it was midnight Cinderella ran home

Going to get trouble she

Had the time of her life at the ball

Is sad she left one of her slippers in the palace

Monster Poem

There’s a monster in my car,I saw his orange furry face,It glows near and far,The monster in my garageHe is knocking down the toolsHe has such an attitude That messy monster in my garageThere’s a monster under my bikeHe has been chewing the pedalsIt does not make senseI need to know why they are doing this to me
