Stories

There once was a mouse named Rat.

He had a crazy hat.

He loved Swiss cheese

And he never ate peas

And he always knew were he was at.

By Owen


Nature

Flowers are nice

Greener than my crayons

Did you know that nature is fun?

Outside



Pip was a bumblebee dude.

He ate quite a lot of food.

He gained a lot of weight.

He was square as a crate.

Then he became kind of rude.

Poor Pip did not-could not, stop.

He ate all the farmer’s crop,

But then, came Missy Lou,

Gave him the courage to do,

Now he has his own kid crop.

by Jonas


MY LIMERICK

BY LESLIE

There once was a man named Dan.

He was a nice little man.

His life made him sad,

But then he was glad,

For he met a girl named Jan.

Loud colorful toys,

Some help them learn their numbers,

Others are for fun.



REUBEN BY MICAH

I like Reuben Bush

Super cute, crawls, drools, babbles

He is my brother



TEARS

By Jonas

Tears are dripping down,

Mixed emotions: rage and fear,

Cry me a river

The poetry was fun to read,
I thought it was so clever,
That every poem was good indeed.
But could I write one, never!

There once was a family named Bush
Whose life was always a rush.
They then took a vacation,
Across this great nation...
Into a valley quite lush.

oh boy... gush, mush, crush, flush... so many choices!

Great poetry -- loved it! I wrote one last night, but I don't think it will make it on the site... obviously something lacking in my rhyming! Oh well! you guys are awesome!
