Getting in the Mood for Poetry

Love is in the air and paper hearts abound. It's Valentine's Day and we're writing poetry!

All week long we've been learning about personification, similes, and metaphors. We've read poems from our favorite authors like Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky. Today we made some attempts at poetry ourselves:

Snowflakes
by Emma J. Saunders

A snowflake is a
Independent,
Self-Organized,
Individual,
Glass Sculpture.


Snowflake
by Jacob Saunders

A small,
fluffy pillow
meant for a fairy
falls from the sky
for me to eat.


Don't you love how that poem takes a turn at the end? Not bad for a first try!
