What is Theme

100

I love to Dance 

I love to Prance 

What my heart would do, 

But be sad and blue, 

If I could not Dance 


Dancing feels nice 

But it comes at a price 

Dancing TuTu's and shoes 

My gosh you can't lose!

A bird came down to walk 

He did not know I saw 

He bit the angel worm in halves 

And the fellow raw

A summer day is full of ease 

A bank is full of money 

Our lilac bush is full of bees, 

And I am full of honey



Joyful, Happy or Positive

We like to trick or treat 

All up and down the streets 

Dressed up like ghosts and witches 

And frighten those we meet 


I like the lively jack 'o lanterns 

That wink and blink at me 

The screeching cats and screeching bats 

Are funny as can be

Halloween

The feeling the poet os trying to convey

What is Mood

I never saw a purple crow 

I never hope to see one

But I can tell you anyhow 

I'd rather see than be one

1 Satnza

200

In the heart of a seed, 

Buried so deep 

A tiny plant

Lay fast asleep

I am very grateful to my skin 

For keeping all my insides in- 

I do so hate to think about 

What I would look inside out.

Funny

Making sandcastles on the beach 

Ice cream dripping in my hand 

Sailing on the deep blue sea 

Drinving down to find a shell 

Not a thought about school 

And nothing to tell.

Summer

300

A single row of words in a poem

What is a Line

There was a little turtle 

He lived in a box 

He swam in a puddle 

He climbed on the rocks 


He snapped at a mosquito 

He snapped at a flea

He snapped at a mino

He snapped at me


He caught the mosquito

He caught to flea 

He caught the minow

But he didn't catch me

There is a place where the sidewalk ends 

And before the street begins 

And there the grass grows soft and white 

And there the sun burns crimson bright,

And there the moon-bord rests from his flight 

To cool in the peppermint wind of night.

I loved my friend 

He went away from me 

There is nothing more to say 

The poem ends; 

As soft as it began 

I loved my friend.



Sadness

300

To busy and play 

And feed my face 

There are four parks to have fun 

But the Magic Kingdom is my favorite one 

The Magic Park has six different lands 

And all of them are all so grand!

Mickey and Minnie wave with delight 

And I don't even have a fright

When the villains fight.



Disney World

A group of lines in a poem.

What is a Stanza.

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail, 

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!


How cheerfully he seems to grin

How neatly spreads his claws 

And welcomes little fishes in, 

With gently smiling Jaws!

May is the month 

Of sunshine and flowers 

Birds in their nests 

And one or two showers. 

Games to play and kites to fly 

Or just looking at the sky 

We could spend a year this way 

If the year was made of May.

The night was dark and stormy 

Thunder roared 

And shadows danced 

Making noises and chants 

The crying and fear were nothing compared 

To the black night sky with no light

Scary

400

Do you hear the bells

That rings loud and clear 

Do you see the tree 

That fills our room with cheer 

The lights that shine so very bright 

On the inside and outside. 

You better sleep or he will not come 

To bring you all presents 

That you will surely love!







Christmas

500

A collection of words written to inspire ideas, imagination, or emotion.

What is Poetry.

500

You and I are good friends 

On that we both agree 

It means I am there for me 

As you are there for me 


We know each other's secrets 

We share our dreams and hopes 

We help each other stay upright 

Along life's slippery slopes 


We might not speak for days or weeks 

Perhaps a month will pass 

But each knows that the other 

Will be there to the last 


So know- My friend, I love you 

This message makes it clear

Good friends are forever 

I hope that is very dear

The winter cars are 

Like frosted cakes 

All covered with soft snow flakes 


The horses hoofs 

Scrunch on the street

Their eyelashes 

Are white with sleet 


And everywhere 

The people go -- 

With faces tickled 

By the snow

I shut my door to keep you out 

Won't do any good to stand and shout 

Won't listen to a thing you say 

Just time you took yourself away 

I lock my door to keep me here 

Until I am sure you disappear

Anger, Frustration

The leaves are falling from the trees

Red, yellow, orange, green, purple, and brown

Leaves are falling down, down, down


The days are cooler, that is easy to see

The season has changed right in front of me 

For summer is over in three months time 

The apples are pumpkins are at their prime.


Fall
