Butterflies are evil
Butterflies are bad
They pollinate your flowers
They swoop down at your head
They are too many colors
They're way to fragile too
I wish they'd all just fly away
I don't know what to do
My sister says I'm silly
My brother says I'm chicken
But if asked to name a scary bug
It's butterflies I'm pickin'

Boogers
Boogers can be roundish
They can be more plate-like too.
If you are real nice to me
I may pick you one or two.

Sharp "E"
I'm dreaming
I'm sketching
I'm drawing for fun
I'm a flower
A rhino
A giraffe on the run
I'm a black line on paper
A squiggle on screen
I am things that aren't real
I am things that are seen
I'm at peace when I draw
I'm at peace when I write
I am happiest with pen in hand
My imagination takes flight
Water Works
I'm wetting
I'm soaping
I'm rubbing the hood
I scrub
I polish
I rinse it real well
I'm drying with towels
I'm throwing out trash
I'm vacuuming carpet
I am satisfied
I am driving away
I'm soaping
I'm rubbing the hood
I scrub
I polish
I rinse it real well
I'm drying with towels
I'm throwing out trash
I'm vacuuming carpet
I am satisfied
I am driving away
The Chase
A ball
A firefly
A tiny little frog
A bad guy
A plane flight
A run-a-way dog
An AMTRAK to Boston
A movie uptown
The sunrise in morning
The sun going down
No matter the purpose
It's best when you match
The thrill of the chase
With success in the catch
A firefly
A tiny little frog
A bad guy
A plane flight
A run-a-way dog
An AMTRAK to Boston
A movie uptown
The sunrise in morning
The sun going down
No matter the purpose
It's best when you match
The thrill of the chase

Maurice
Today held the moment Maurice walked away
striding off cross a far distant knoll
Where is it that he's going we can only suppose
is a forest a closet or hole
He changed everyone of us before he departed
set our thoughts free to roam near and far
We sit filled with joy for we all are assured
Max still knows where the wild things are
striding off cross a far distant knoll
Where is it that he's going we can only suppose
is a forest a closet or hole
He changed everyone of us before he departed
set our thoughts free to roam near and far
We sit filled with joy for we all are assured
Max still knows where the wild things are
Lucky Outdoor Learning Center
If you're lucky, you might see
an animal in the OLC
Perhaps a songbird, perhaps a duck
if you're lucky a toddler with a fire truck
They come with mom most usually
when she comes to cleanup the OLC
Chipmunks also play around
the waterfall and grassy ground
And if you're real lucky you may be
outside yourself in the OLC

up on the ceiling
I play with you every night

not at all a piñata
I won't hit you, well maybe I might.

Spring: a three acrostic...well....acrostic
We were discussing acrostic poems in class today which lead to three using the word "SPRING".
Summer is closer
Pollen in abundance
Rainy more than clear
Inchworms now, butterflies later
No-see-ums make up for the lost time of winter
Great expectations of the summer ahead
Splash
Pollen
Rain
Inchworms
No-see-ums
Great
Splashing
Popping
Raining
Itching
Nearing
Greening

pointy thing
through you to paper
my thoughts do sing
Pencil, Pencil
is it wrong
the more I write
the faster you're gone?

Indoor Stars
Above me squares with many holes
can steal my concentration
as I look, holes turn to stars
and I look for constellations
can steal my concentration
as I look, holes turn to stars
and I look for constellations
Pointy Thing
Holding tight to counter's top
a side of holes but it won't stop
with one bent arm that goes around
and spiral teeth where wood is ground

Sad Berries
A wave of sadness
Berries for a sweet warm pie
My bright lights are on
A great heron stands near shore
A Jersey Giant's jersey

A Boy's Coral
Boys call it salmon or coral when they wear it
Girls call it by name
A MaryK Cadillac
My white t-shirt after my red one bleeds in the wash
Neither a red nor white rose but part of both
Sleepy Sun
Fire against a blue sky
A Navel or Valencia squeezed to juice
My favorite marigold
Halloween's second favorite
The sky as sun prepares to sleep.
