Etheree Poems

Clouds
Up high
In the sky
White and puffy
They curl into shapes
They look like marshmallows
They spread rain down to the ground
They float over the tall mountains
Sometimes I see animals in the clouds
Sometimes they float high, sometimes theyÕre low
By: Chloe and Lindsey




Blue
Neptune
Dark, blue spots
The best planet
Spinning in circles
Eighth planet from the sun
Spinning and spinning around
With blue and white stripes all over
It has dark blue spots all over it
It has a dark blue spot and thirteen moons
By: Xander, Ben and Sydney


Stars
Up high
In the sky
Shimmering high
Twinkling like diamonds
By the bright moon at night
All the stars around the moon
Shining like the sun in the sky
Shimmering up high in the blue sky
A shooting star is coming to Earth fast
By: Annabelle and Sophia


Fire
Steaming
Hot and red
Burning downstairs
When you are in bed
ÒDrop and Roll!Ó my mom said
Burning, burning in the halls
Burning the rooms, bathrooms and dolls
Burning great things like carpets and walls
Pop! Boom! Bang! Crash! Bam! Pop! It was a dream
By: Nicolas, Katie and Ned


Fire
Flaming
In a house
People screaming
Help is coming soon
Have to have surgery
Breaking news is on T.V.
Firefighters are saving lives
Fire is burning ten feet up high
Fire is burning ten feet in the sky
By: Andrew, Drew and Alex

Riding my tricycle
Racing my sister

Standing in front of Nicolas

Looking down at the ground
Safe, relaxed, peaceful
Sitting in a cozy chair

In the smelly movie theater
Eating disgusting buttered popcorn
Soggy, salty, sickening
I ate the popcorn anyway

Climbing up the steps of the waterslide

The life in a glove
Flying through the air
I love being hit
I am a baseball

Hopping around
Munching on delicious carrots
Fluffy like a grizzly bear
Extremely loving
I am a bunny

Jumping high into the sky
Living in the deep blue sea
I am a dolphin

Eat scurrying mice

Observing fish
Afraid of other people and fast movement
Loving the outdoors

Cakes of all flavors and colors
