Poems

The small laughing baby girl
Sitting with her big round noisy rattle
On the cold kitchen floor
Late this evening
Playing and waiting for someone to pick her up.
Olivia

A huge, tall, chubby sailor
Got on a big brown sailing yacht
In the Atlantic Ocean
At 8:00 in the morning
To go to the Indies and get rich.
Allison

A little mouse
Running away from a huge, fat, cat
To it's little tiny hole in the wall
In the morning at 7:00 am
Because he doesn't want to be eaten for breakfast.

Alexei and Richie
In the enormous championship hockey game
At a great hockey arena called ESL
On a cold day in March
So they could exterminate the other team.

Lazy Abby
Missed the bus
On Springbrook Road
At Five o'clock AM
Because she slept in.

My puppy
Chased her tail
At my house
At midnight
She thought her tail was a string.

My magical book
Made crazy motion pictures
In my pink bedroom
When I got home from the Public Library
Because no one was there but me.

My brown and tiny dog
Learned how to do high fives
In the living room
At 4:35 PM
So we could enter him in a dog show.

My blue, shiny, sparkly ring
Sitting on a sofa and being lazy
In a shop by the mall that was dazzling
During the holiday of Easter
Because it was just made.

My diminutive white and gold dog
Dashed to another dwelling
Down the street
A year ago
He didn't have a leash.

My friendly cousins
Are driving their emerald colored van
To my white house with red shutters
On Easter, March 23
To find Easter baskets and hide colorful eggs.

A black and white panda
Sat on a tree
In a forest in California
At 6:00 pm in the evening
To watch the sunset.

My husky dog
Chased the black cat
To a small city in China
At 7:00 AM
Because the cat ran into his doghouse.
Chris

Lazy Daniel
Thinking about his good-natured parents
On a jet
Monday afternoon
As he flies home to see his delightful and pleasant parents.
David

My fat orange and black cat
Chased my Aunt's yellow and black shylow
They were flying around my house
In the extremely bright sun at 12:30
To get my cat's goldfish from her mouth.
Nick

My fourth grade students
Tasted green jello jigglers
In our classroom
On St. Patrick's Day
Inspired to compose a sensory paragraph.
