Poems.

Next week I start my poetry unit! I pretty much have a sweet 3 day lesson planned for it. We don't have school Thursday and Friday, so I needed a sweet filler. Anyway, one of the days they are writing poems about Halloween...and I wanted to share my example poem with you. I whipped this sucker out in like 10 minutes. More exciting poems by me to come. Note to self. These are for third graders. Watch your judging!

Halloween

Halloween is a scary day, 

It's when all the kids come out to play.

They dress up as animals, witches, ghosts, and goblins,

and sometimes the outfits make my knees go a wobblin'

They knock on doors and yell, 'Trick or Treat!'

All night long they walk on their feet. 

They carry big sacks to collect their candy,

all while feeling mighty fine and dandy.

At the end of the night,

off goes the light.

After treats have been eaten 

and feet have been beaten.

Waiting and wishing for another year,

to yell and scream and show some cheer.
