For our first poetry session of 2021, Shoesmith 4th graders taught me about oobleck, and then went to work in what I like to call the “Crazy Ideas Factory.” That means they played with out-of-the-box thinking to create “swan of bees” poems. Enjoy!

A napkin of cheese
A dresser of glass
A bike of diamonds
A rocket ship of gold
Unreal Undo
By Isis C.
A home of ducks
A layer of birds

A cup of bears
A seed of lizards.

I WISH I HAD A COUCH OF A MERMAID TAIL
I WISH I HAD A BED OF CHIPS
I WISH I HAD A HOUSE OF CANDY
I WISH I HAD A MERMAID SHOE
I WISH I HAD A KITTEN FACE MILK
I WISH I HAD A PONY FACED LIGHT
I WISH I HAD A CHAIR OH PENCILS
I WISH I HAD A COMPUTER MIXED WITH A DRINK
I WISH I HAD CLOTHS OF LED LIGHTS SO I CAN GLOW IN THE DARK
I WISH I HAD A PENCIL CASE FILLED WITH HOT COCO
My House of Unexpected Things
Rocky L.
My house is full of weird things
Like a tree of diamond rings
then a mouse that knows how to sing
And a monkey blowing a kazoo
And a ghost saying BOO!
With a cat that is blue!
Or a room of bubble wrap
And some birds going tap tap tap
And on top of it is a cap
I don’t really know why it has that
I don’t find it necessary
The other ones fit in my gallery
It just makes me want to tear it
Thats cap cruelty!
really?
opposites
Bela C.
A sheep made with fire
An axe made out of clouds
A duck that has the wings of a swan
A rose that’s made out of water
A hurdle of butterflies
Donuts made with green slime
Waffles that are flat like pancakes
A spoon that has a fork’s end on top
Flowers without a stem
A Phone calling Wifi – they feel connected
the crazy mix up
Ah’lani M.
I wish I had a kitchen full of strawberries
I also hope I get a car made of gummy worms
I wish I had a house of burgers
I wish I had a lion made out of duck face
I wish I had a burger of fries
I wish I had a dog made out of money
I wish I had a bed made of mac-n-cheese
I wish I had a king-sized bed made of hot chocolate
I wish I had a ps4 made of an iphone 12
I wish I had a computer made of gummy bears
I wish I was an angel made of chicken wings
I wish I had a bed made of chicken wings
The funny poem
Gian R.
A taco with pizza bits
A soup monster
A skateboard that bounces
A person that only eats candy
A chicken that moos
A cow that clucks
A duck with a chicken head
A TV that’s a dog
A pond made of orange juice
THE WONDER FULL POEM OF JAMARI HILL
JAMARI H.
Opera full with no drama
Flash not being able to run as fast the light of speed
a horse with the face of a chicken
a Beaver with the lips of a duck
a crocodile with the mouth of a chainsaw
a sheep with the face of a cat
a book of worms
the sound of bacon frying on water
a book of worms
a sheep with the face of a cat
wired things
Larrion J.
A bed full of chocolate
a dog with wings
a banana with legs
a cat with a dog’s face
a bear with a tutu
a person with eagle legs
a robot with a skeleton head
a spider with 2000 legs
an xbox playing the ps5
a closet full of candy
a tv with ears
a toy playing with a toy
The Unexpected Things
Prentice C.
shoes filled with ketchup
a water bottle filled with barbecue sauce
A computer made from hard slime
A sea of alligators
Hot chocolate mixed with hot chocolate bombs
A bird with human legs
A world wrestling entertainment figure talking
A water bottle that looks like a lobster
A lamp that can sing
A mask made out of clay
