*SNAPS*

The classroom was dark with only a single dim light. The only sound was fingers snapping as we concluded our poetry unit in our Poetry Cafe. We have spent weeks of studying different poems and creating poems of our own. Each student was asked to choose what they felt was their "best" poem to be published (have Miss Lewis type it up for us). Today, each student stood tall and proud on the stool as they read to the rest of the class their poem. Here are a few samples...

Outdoors
by Amber

The leaves are blowing
The trees are waving
The clouds are grey
And the birds are not tweeting


Games
by Cade

The fish is shaking
The root beer is exploding
There's a game in there!


Hit a Wave
by Billy

Hit a wave
One piece becomes two
Scared
Fall of the wave
Broken
Angry
