Quiet/Noisy Poems

A whistle blowing loudly.
Horns honking in the streets.
A rocket engine booming in the air.
And me, listening to the racket!

By Jonus

I hear my Dad yelling "GO DEEP".
My sister yelling "GOAL!"
My mom saying "Clean Up Your Mess".
And me yelling STOP!

By Eli

A baby crying in its crib.
My sister's cat meowing all night.
Wind whistling outside my window.
And me, sitting there watching it happen.

By Teri

STADIUM
By Hank

Everybody screaming.
They're cheering...GO Go!
Everybody on their feet.
And me sitting, watching.

Jet engines roaring.
Thunder crackling.
Rockets launching.
And me, screaming and listening to my scream.

By Calvin

Dogs barking.
My alarm clock sounding.
My Mom cooking breakfast.
My sister waking me up.
And me, snoring loudly!

By Calvin

Basketball
By Ben

The backboard shakes back to place.
The loud music blasting from the speaker.
The skids of the player's shoes squeaking against the floor.
And me screaming "ENJOY!"

Quiet Sounds
By Grace

Hearing sleepy kids wishing wishes in their dream and they snooze away.
Hearing ocean waves washing onto the beach.
Hearing footsteps on my steps.
Hearing the quiet sun rising in the bright morning light.
And me, hearing the sink drip, listening.

LOUD
By Eva

Balloons popping everywhere.
Lightning crashing on the ground.
Pop corn popping in the machine.
And me, sitting on a bench outside, listening.

SOFT
By Eva

Clock ticking all night.
Leaf fluttering to the ground.
Rabbit gnawing on a carrot.
And me, sitting on my bed listening.

Quiet Sounds
By Kayla

I hear birds and trees loving the warm sun.
I hear leaves falling side to side and my brother sleeping.
I hear ocean waves whispering.
Palm trees swaying side to side.
And me, playing in the sprinklers.

What I See
By Fong

I see babies crying.
Children yelling.
Parents screaming.
Horns honking loudly.
And me, watching them.

Trying to Sleep
By Lauren

The sun is up.
My sister jumping on my bed screaming.
My mom yelling get up!
And me, trying to sleep.

Sounds
By Erin

Birds humming,
Wind blowing.
Leaves shaking.
Water sprinkling.
And me, on my bed listening.

Helicopters chopping the air.
The blades going chop, chop, chop.
Soaring so so high.
Flying up in the air.
And me, sitting in the back of the helicopter, listening.

The Nuggets
By Chase

The crowd screaming at the players..Let's Go Nuggets.
Players dribbling the ball.
SMASH - in the hoop with a dunk.
And me, jumping and cheering...Go Nuggets!

Farm
By Hannah

Sheep running around loudly.
Chickens clucking.
Cows running from the dog.
And me, trying to calm them down.

Loud Sounds
By Ida

A blizzard blowing.
And a bell going ding dong.
Music blurting out.
And me, lying in bed listening.

The dog barking everywhere.
Up, down, left and right.
And My parents are making a lot of noise inside the house.
And me sitting, listening.

By Ashton

Fire
By Mrs. Rizzuto's Class
Fire trucks blasting through town.
Sirens blaring, shouting, "Warning...Warning."
Trees bursting into flames.
And me, hoping for rain, waiting.

Letter Poems

Dear Flowers,

I love how you give bees nectar and pollen.
I wish you could grow as tall as a house.
Can you?
Do you hate when you get picked?
You smell great.
You show your prettiness when the light shines upon you.
You have lots of colors!

Love,
Teri

Dear People,

I love how you make houses for us to live in.
I wish you could make more houses.
If you could stop making houses out of wood
because you are losing oxygen from taking down trees and hurting us.
I know you have to tear down tress to make houses
but don't use as much trees.

Love,
Chase

You shine in the sky like the moon.
Why are you only three stars?

Love,

I love the way your vines hang down from the canopy.
You're so beautiful because you have so many plants, trees, flowers, and animals.

I love the way you sit out there with the sunshine shining on you.
