For our belated Valentine’s Day class, we read Matthew Olzmann’s “Mountain Dew Commercial Disguised as a Love Poem.” We drew pictures of people we love and tried to think about as many specific and strange details about them, just like Olzmann does in his poem. We turned those pictures into list poems about someone we love.
My Lovely Mom
–Priyanshi
I loe my mom
you make me smile and I feel better
whenever I’m sad,
I really appreciate that every morning
you wake up early and make food for
everyone and take care about us. I like your
smile which makes us smile. Whenever I
have a big test, you always try to make
me confident and to be brave. I like ho
you have time for us. You always give
us the last bite of Taco Bell or
other foods. You have a big heart.
Thank you for everything.
