It Doesn't Have To Be Poems

Silly
by Ana Maria

Silly
doesn't have to be wearing a silly hat
like a clown in a circus.
Silly doesn't have to be making funny sounds
like a dumb pig.

Silly
can be wearing your first flowered hat
and running all around like a horse in a race.

Silly
doesn't have to be laughing like a CooCooBird.

Silly
doesn't have to be running like a cheetah.
Silly sometimes is being super happy.

Sad
by Kimberly

Sad
doesn't have to be when you see a sad movie!
like a cute kitten dying.
Sad doesn't have to be tears coming out of your eyes
like if they forgot your birthday.

Sad
can be when you see a cat in a box and he doesn't have a family.

Sad
doesn't have to be when your sister hits you.

Sad
doesn't have to be when you fall
like a girl that falls down.
Sad is crying.

Happy
by Andrea

Happy doesn't have to be smiling
like a girl dancing.
Happy doesn't have to be enjoying
like a person who enjoys another person.

Happy can be like a little girl who doesn't have school.

Happy
doesn't have to be very very happy.

Happy
doesn't have to be good
like a girl who gets a present.
Happy is smiling.

Angry
by Jessica

Angry doesn't have to be mad
like if your best friend doesn't want to be your friend.
Angry doesn't have to be furious
like a dog biting you.
Angry can be unhappy
when you are disappointed.
Angry doesn't have to be furious like a bad friend.
Angry doesn't have to be mad
like a bad brother who bites you all the time.
Angry is unhappy.

Sad
by Ashley

Sad doesn't have to be when your father doesn't love you
like my sister who hates dogs.
Sad doesn't have to be when your friends are not your friends
like a girl and another girl.
Sad can be when you don't have a dog or cat.
Sad doesn't have to be not having friends.
Sad doesn't have to be mad
like you are mad with your sister.
Sad is unhappy.

Rhetorical Question Poems

The Family Fun Day
by Juan

I wonder if Family Fun Day is crazy people running around?
I suppose that they are crazy people.
They always run in Family Fun Day.
They go kind of crazy.
There needs to be normal people in Family Fun Day.

Why Do Leaves Fall?
by Jessica

I wonder why leaves fall?
I suppose they want to.
They can know new places.
They're never alone.
They have so many colors.
They can fly.

Video Game
by Joan

I wonder if there is an electronic video game that you can get into?
I suppose it exists and that you have to have a helmet to get into it.
You have 3 lives in it.
Sometimes the video game doesn't work
and then you get caught in the game.

Snowflakes Falling
by Kimberly

I wonder if snowflakes fall down sadly?
I suppose they think of something sad when they fall down from the sky.
They taste good like water.
They help trees and plants.
They help all things live like us.

Where Do People Come From?
by Jana

I wonder where people come from?
I suppose they come from the sky.
From God who makes us,
my mom and dad who married,
from my grandpas and grandmas who made my mom and dad.

My Friend and Me
by Silvia

I wonder if Natalia is my best friend?
I suppose that she is.
She is nice to me.
She told me she was my best friend.
She likes to play tag with me.

What Do Dogs Think?
by Maria Leonor

I wonder what do dogs think?
I suppose they think about playing.
They jump and play,
look and sniff,
grow and grow,
and run around.
