Spring Acrostic Poems

Singing wind with a little tune
the breeze makes me dance like leaves on a tree
Plants growing so beautifully
Rain dripping slowly on the concrete
In the bees, thumping hearts looking for honey
Night sky shining so brightly
on my glistening eyes
Grass greeting the sun to its wet and thin layer
Destinee


Swimming in the water is a light green frog
Pine trees glowing in the hot, hot sun
Red, orange and yellow in shades of sun
Ideas booming into blueprints
No more snow on the steaming ground!
Green grass shimmers in the 60¡ sun
Trevor

Squirrels running around in the forest and climbing trees- up and down trees
Playing outside in the warm furry
grass like a blanket of furry pillows
Riding bikes in the warm sunny path
walking with tiny feathers floating through our faces
I watch the Phillies play their game with raindrops dropping on me
Nuts falling through the trees with squirrels running and munching and crunching them
Growing buds through the grass with ladybugs on top of them
Ashley M.

Spring break-time to play, swimming,
sports, running and
People say ice cream, popsicles
we can get that all today
Friends come walking then come
Running. Looking for their friends
to ask them if they want to play
outside, rainbows shining
I go outside and do some gardening, planting poppies, heathers, roses, lilies, and chrysanthemums
Nature blooms and blossoms. Weather
gets warmer. All you'll see are shorts
and t-shirts
Galloping horses go out for a romp
enjoying the fresh spring air
Leshia

Sun shining on the green grass
People soaring their kites
in the beautiful blue sky
Rainbow in the dark blue sky
Ice cream melting in the glowing hot sun
Nature walks in the woods
Green trees in the beautiful woods
Connor

Sun shining on the grass
People having yummy BBQ
Raining rainbows in the blue sky
Indigo flowers popping out of the green grass
No more snow and winter
goes and spring's here now
Good days are here now and
catching butterflies makes it fun
Emma

Singing birds flying in the sky
Perching birds soaring through the air
Rain comes down quietly
Ice melting on the hot ground
Never-falling leaves stick on trees
Great green grass is a bunny's new home
Ashley O.

Sunlight shining everywhere
Pinecones growing on oak trees
Rainbows swimming in the sky
Insects and bugs crawling in the dirt
Near, near spring comes and comes
Growing plants and planting seeds
Jatin

Stones skipping on the water
People playing in the wet grass
Rivers rushing really fast
Ideas flowing into heads
Night creatures crawling into bed at dawn
Growing sees in the garden
Nathan

Swimming in deep shining blue pools
Puddles splashing all over kids
Rivers rushing filled with fish
Ice cream coming from ice cream trucks
Nature-walking in the green-smelling grass
Green frogs catching yummy flies
Jaivien

Sandals are on me and my friend's feet
Popsicles dripping down the slide
Raspberries being picked and eaten
I'm in shorts and a t-shirt
(my mom isn't) Never, ever putting on coats
Glorious spring is finally here!
Theresa

Spring break begins
Phillies playing opening game
Rita's open on Spring day
Ice cream trucks comes rolling around
New flowers blooming open
Green grass growing giant
Siobhan

Swooshing tails gleaming in the sun
Porcupines walking among the earth
Rainbows gleaming
Imprints setting in the ground
Nuts around the pond
Great buck standing like a statue
Roman

Shiny water in the pond
Plants are Mother Nature
Rain is sprinkles making a good, beautiful sound
It's a beautiful lily pad in a blue pond
Nature makes us have oxygen, air and animals
G Naeem

Softball games being played
People going to
Rita's for yummy waterices
Inchworm squirming
Nature walks in the woods
finding a lot of animals
Growing flowers, in gardens
Patrick

School canceling, squirrels finding nuts
People always playing
Running all over having fun
In the grass, chasing each other playing on the slide
New flowers
Growing everywhere
Kaelyn

Starting swimming parties
Phillies spring training
Rain filling rivers when it thunderstorms
Important ideas growing
Noses sniffling from spring allergies
Green grass raising out of the ground
Drew

Skies are blue and white clouds are soaring
Pony tails swing through the air
Rainbows shining in the sky
with their bright colors
Ice cream getting licked by kids
Nature is chirping and croaking
Green grass is shining
Heather

Sometimes it's beautiful when it's done raining
Planting flowers growing in the sunshine
Rainbows shining in the light blue sky
Ice cream being licked from
kids that love ice cream
Nature walk from people that love nature walking
Girls love rainbows in the spring

Comfy, cozy, warm house
Sitting around all day
In a circle everyday just wanting to play
In the sunny hot afternoon
Sitting there to warm my family and feel good that day

At pitch black mid-night
Looking for her baby cubs

Snapshot Poems

Bookbag shaking when I walk
Hanging, bored in my cubby
Talking to her next door neighbors
Making my books and folders comfortable

Ashley O.



Brown, soft, furry moose
Stomping around on a search for food
When it returns home-sad, alone
It takes a short rest
Until it finds a beautiful mate

Destinee


People going to the sunny, bright beach
Swimming in the dark, blue sea
People going to jump in the beautiful sea
Sitting down on the soft, fluffy chairs
The waves pushing people down when they're swimming

Ashley M.


Sun
Bright, big sun gleaming on the green, shiny grass
People bathing in the sun on their pink towels
Sitting in the warm hot tub

My room has colors everywhere
Pink, orange and yellow
I'm laying in my very comfortable bed
Sleeping heavenly
Stuffed animals just sitting on my filled shelf

Kaelyn


The great Thailand boat
Preparing to land on the sea-watery dock
Began to get closer and closer
Finally they land on the sweet ground

Bright yellow sun shining on us
Waves splashing on us
People jumping in the water
Sandcastles getting knocked down
People getting stung by stingrays

Ronnie


Five little baby gators in their mother's mouth
Today the gators are going to learn how to swim
Their tiny feet paddling so fast in the water
Trying to stay up as Mommy alligator watches over them
The gators don't notice that their mother has gone looking for dinner

Leshia


3,2,1 BLAST OFF!
Inside the pitch black sky
Floating in the little lights
Space Control says, "Time to go home."
Good-bye space

Trevor


Trees
Green trees
At the beach
Swaying in the wind
With rigged leaves
In Clearwater

Patrick


The steaming hot sand
People taking tans on the sand
Being detectives finding seashells
Kids building spectacular sandcastles
Waves smashing sandcastles
Kids jogging away

Nailah


Tree kangaroo in the deep dark steaming jungle
In the eye of the jungle
Jumping through the trees

Roman


Red, sparkly fire in the dark black night
Lighting up the city
People staring down from their skyscrapers
Children cheering for more
Everybody getting headaches

Brown mouse tired from a long chase
Trying to catch his prey
trying to take a nap
Without his stomach growling for food

Connor


Yellow and orange daisies not waiting for the sun
In North Carolina in the morning
Later it is not raining, poor little daisies!
Tiredly waiting for the rain again and again
Finally, and I mean finally, the rain came back out

Julia


Two miniature lizards sitting on a sandy rock
Gaping at each other
Touching their noses
About to combat each other

Evan


Pokey, pointy, spiky cactus
Waiting for some water in the hot, sunny desert
So pokey and flowery and weird-looking
A cloud comes, it starts to rain
There's a flood! Oh, how it feels soooooooo good

Theresa


My puffy, white communion dress
For my First Communion Day
Waiting for the host and me
Waiting, waiting, waiting on its hanger
Finally! First Communion Day!

Theresa


Fireworks red, yellow and blue
Exploding in air and falling on you
Fireworks sparkling in the dark black sky
The night glows when firewords fly
Fireworks, fireworks forty feet high

Jatin


Lengthy bridge
As long as a hissing snake
Scratching and squeaking on the road
Reaching from one country to another
Noisy all day and all night

Ashley O.


Water exploding
Out of wonderful statues
A beautiful castle all lit up
People happily roaming around
Lit up water all over
In the night, people dancing for joy

Drew


Sting ray roaming around
With a blue body and tail to sting me
Eating the food the diver gives it
In the coral reef with other sea animals moping around
Moving its gills to breathe
Going in the cave
