Snap Shot Poems


Puppies

Two colorful, cuddly puppies just staring out into the black night sky
With his cute cuddly brother.
But they have little, tiny, bity paws.

By Caitlin



Nature Things

Bright good smelling magenta flowers on a brown dirty vine.
Clear light green grass
A scary yellow buzzing wasp smelling leaves
with beautiful blue blossoms that smell like pretty perfumes.

By Jennifer


Two Dogs

Two heads poking out of the long skinny grass.
Four eyes shining, looking up at me.
Two dripping wet tongues looking for a drink.
Four pointed ears listening for a friend.
Two fluffy tails wiggle in excitement.
Four paws running to chase a cat.

By Avery


A Puppy

Small black eyes looking at me.
Warm black nose sniffing the air.
A fluffy tan body curled up in a blanket.
Snuggling down to take a nap.
Good night puppy.

By Rylie


Monkey Friends

Big monkeys with orange brown fur
With eyes like chocolate candy
And a soft pink nose.
Ears like humans.
Sitting together on a tree limb,
Relaxing and caring.
Playing with each other.
Happy friends, monkey friends.

By Jacob


Porcupines

Kissing with their noses
Balancing on wood
Black patches around their eyes and noses.

By Jason


Helicopter

Red body with blue, white, and black stripes in the baby blue sky.
Two people scuba diving into the ocean below.

By Trevon


Puppy

Soft, smooth, puffy, light and feathery puppy laying on the grass.
With shimmering black eyes.
The wood next to the puppy is hard and rough.

By Jasmine


Military Boat

A long, cool boat with lots of planes
With a flag and a runway.

By Daniel


Horses

White yellow horses running
Dark twister shaped clouds and yellow lightening
Mud gushing under the horses
Horses talking.

Puppies

Six, small puppies on a brown bench.
Three of the small ones are playing.
Three are asleep too.

By Emily F.


Toucan

A colorful toucan with a beautiful body and a pretty beak
The orange on his beak was like a sunset.
The yellow sun is like his beak too.
The colors are so bright you might fall down.

By Emily K.


Chicks

Smell very, very, VERY bad like garbage thrown out for 13 days.
Their beaks look like the front of the airplane opening and closing.
Opening and closing
Opening and closing
Opening and closing
To eat worms.

By Stephen


Colorful Tree

Dark blue sky and puffy white clouds moving slowly.
Orange and green bushes on the left side of a dirty road.
Big, tall trees standing still.

By Deep


Emerald Meadow

The green grass looks like a meadow.
Clouds that look like fluffy white balls.
The sky looks like a cold ocean.

Deer are brown and have white horns
with a short neck and a white stripe on it.
It is staring at something.

Training

Two huskies training for the Iditarod.
The Eskimo is ready.
The black and white huskies are scared, nervous, shy and embarrassed.
Run quickly.

By Spencer


Forest

A creepy, terrible, weird place to camp.
Hiding behind trees can be sneaky in a forest.
Golden reddish leaves falling on other trees.
Stay out of the stinky forest.

By Antonio


Dogs

There are three dogs.

Two look mad.
One looks sad or maybe they are tired.
There's a fence for them to stay in.
People donšt want them to get out.

By LaNae


Porcupine

Brown needles and chomping teeth.
Blinking, black muddy eyes.
Gray rocks following yellow rocks and green rocks.
