Rain

It's a pain when it rains

We can't have recess

We can't play outside

All we can do

Is sit and bake pie

It's raining so hard

We can't believe it

It's such a bore

Let's move to Cleveland!

Scratch 'N Sniff

I scratched and sniffed a book

It smelled like slimy slugs

It smelled liked roasted lady bugs

It smelled like friend flies

Oh wait, it's a book about bugs

I Forgot

I forgot this poem Yes , oh Yes, I did

I forgot this poem when I went to feed the pigs

It's OK to forget

All messed up and tublished

But don't forget this poem

Because it's getting published

Perfect Day

Golden Sun

Lots of Fun

The greenest grass

Transparent skies,  like glass

only a tiny bit of clouds

On a day like this, let's all be proud!

Drama King

The King loves to be the Boss

He banned sports when his team lost

The King said every girl should be named Rose

He ordered everyone to have six toes

Then finally the King's time was up

Now everyone does whatever they want

The Important Thing About Shoes

The important thing about shoes

is that they protect your feet

They can be fun and funky

Or they can be loose and chunky

Some give you blisters

Some save you from twisters

A few can win you the last treat

But the important thing about shoes is that they protect your feet

Friends

Friends are good. 

Friends are great.

Friends I really do appreciate.

A day without friends is like a year without fun.

It is a good thing that friends are for everyone!

Thanks from Poemasabi

Thanks first to all of the talented 1st and 2nd graders whose  poetry is highlighted here in this blog.

Secondly thanks to the teachers who allowed blogging into their classrooms in this first few months of Poemasabi Jr and embraced it whole heartedly.

Last but certainly not least, a big thanks to the administrators for also embracing the concept of student blogging at a very young age and for allowing Web 2.0 into the school.

Keep poeming everyone. See you in the fall. If you are a current Poemasabi Jr. contributor and would like to keep submitting your work over the summer just email it to me poemasabi@gmail.com with your poet name, teacher and what cottage you were in.

Have a great summer,

Poemasabi
