Check out some of the fantastic poems the 5th and 6th graders have written during this Spring 2024 Poetry Residency! While revising and editing are important, there’s just as much magic in first drafts. Can you guess if these are revised or first drafts?!

The Earth’s Nature
by Ella
The trees the water everything
surrounding me can get no better.
The stars in the sky
as we look up high.
The flowers growing the plants
showing. It’s amazing to see,
to look and stare. It’s so good
you can’t compare.
The windy day blowing my hair
the smell of fresh in the air.
The earth’s nature I will always like
because that is a fact and
I know it’s right.

The Big BEAN
by Sofia
Hi there, I’m the big BEAN!
I live downtown, where ALL
people can see me. I don’t go
anywhere, I’m just here.
I’m like a statue, just standing
around. I’m also as tall as a
giraffe. People take selfies
around me, just because of
all that! Well, that’s all there
is from me.

Donuts
by Jayson
Donuts, I love donuts. I like the
smell and the taste of donuts.
All the colors of the donuts are
red, blue, green, and yellow.
Pink, brown white, and cyan.
Donuts, I love donuts. You
can have a donut as a snack.
Donuts, I love donuts. I’ll give
these donuts a 10/10.
