Always
They are nice
And
So cool.
Cuddly.

Jumping up and down

Outside in the backyard.

If I Were . . . Poems

If I Was an Airplane

I'd fly to New York
To see the statue of liberty
I'd go to Pennsylvania to see the Liberty Bell
I'd fly to Massachusetts to play in the snow
If I was an airplane
I'd fly to Disney World
To go on all the fun rides
If I was an airplane
I'd fly to see big foot
I'd go to Ohio to see Cleveland Cavaliers

Ally


Swings

I'd lift kids into the air
Like a rocket ship
Taking off
Going into the blue sky
Through the fluffy clouds
Almost into outer space
And fall right back down
Touch the ground

Samantha


If I were a T-Rex

I'd run and catch my prey
I'd be too fast to stay
I'd come around
I'd be too bound
To eat my lunch today
Your home would be my battlefield
Your nest would be my shoe
If you would try to mess with me
Then I would mess with you

Jake


If I Were a Playground

If I were the playground
I'd let people slide down the slippery slide
If I were the playground
I'd let people swing back and forth till they fling
If I were the playground
I'd let people ride a little horsey bungee ride
If I were a playground
I'd let people climb the tallest monkey bars I could find
If I were a playground
I'd let people crawl through the tiniest crawling hall
If I were a playground
I'd let people run until the whistle blows

Jesse


If I Was a Horse

I would canter there
And everywhere
Step on snakes
That sliver so softly and scary
Jump over a cactus
Inside a desert
People try and catch me
But I gallop away

Aria


If I Was a Slide

If I was a slide
I would slide people down me
And get wet
In rain
And I would be
Red and green

Henry


If I Were a Golf Ball

I would get hit
By a golf club
I would get whacked
And fly 300 yards
Like a bird
And go in the water
And the bunker
I try to get
A hole in one

Chase


If I Were a Balloon

I could fly and see the whole world
And the beautiful world outside
Up high into the clouds
Where the angels live
Where no one could see me
Like my own little secret place
But like the wind
It will drive me where it wants to go
Like a high school student driving
And is lost

Megan


If I Were a Lion

If I were a lion
I will hunt
Not be hunted
I will be the
Ruler of the animals
Hunt
Fish
Attack
But don't get hunted

Ben


Predator
Go hunting
Do tricks
Kill animals
Have big teeth
Roar loud
And eat

Emily


If I Was the Sun

If I was the sun
I would shine in the daytime
Quiet as a bear
Looking for its prey
If I was the sun
All of the planets
Would orbit around me

LaTyya


If I Was a Ball

If I was a ball
Someone would hit me
I would fly up
Like a bird flying up in the air
So high up
Then down I go like a bird
Catching fish

Erik


Cheetah

I'm a cheetah
If you want to race me
Say it to my face
I have a great pace to race
So I'm a predator
I go faster than you forever
A cheetah will bite you

Joel


If I Was a Balloon

If I was a balloon
People blowing me
Holding me in their arms
Holding me tightly so I won't fly away
But they forget me
So they let go
OH NO!
Going up to the sky
Until the wind is
Pushing me through the sky

Aihber


If I Were a Tree

If I were a tree
I would give shade to people
Who come to me
I would let the people read under me
I would let them sleep under me
My best friend is the swing, Samantha

Kaylee


If I was the rain I'd
Help make very rich soil
Give water to lake
Help plants grow
If I was a flower
I'd soak up all the rain
I'd give air to all the people
We are sort of alike
I live on land
I live in air
But we are both nature

Leah


If I Were a Water Balloon

If I were a water balloon
I would have water in me
I would pop
I would be colorful
There would be red, blue, yellow, and more
I'd be tied up so no water comes out
If I were a water balloon

David


Being the Thing on the End of a Shoelace

Being the thing on the end of a shoelace
You must be aware of
When someone
Ties your neighbor
Into
A
Fancy
Suit
To go
Out
With
You
In your hard
Turtle
Shell

Josh
