For our most recent sessions, Swift 2nd and 3rd graders generated ideas that inspire us to see fun images with our mind’s eye. We talked about out-of-the-box thinking, before students brainstormed lists for “Swan of Bees”-style poems. Enjoy!

The Crazy Day
by Abhipsa J.
When I come home from school
I see my house full of
strawberries. And when
I look up I see clouds
made of cotton candy and
when I reach for it the
whole cloud falls on my
head and when I am
going to get my bowl for
eating I see ice scream
everywhere in the kitchen.
then when I go to my
sister I see hot cocoa evrywhere
on her bed and table.

a hat full of dragons
a spoon eating itself

Maybe I’ll see……
by Evlin A.
I wonder if I’ll ever see a whisper of shouts or
a wish of quirks
Maybe I’ll see a clue of mystery, a tint of light
a heat of shallow walls
It’s possible I could see a dream of a
brain of ending, a quail of thorns,
an arch of crust
I wish to see a sizzle of idea or
a moon of sassiness.
I Wish I Can see
by Alondra
A clock that every tick gives
ice cream!
A water bottle of secrets!
A sun full of wants it’s so bright!
A shirt of chocolate yum!
A big table of drama could laugh all day!
A donut full of wonder what is it saying?
A flower dancing with friends!
A sprinkle full of magic show tricks!
A school full of money
A flag made of it’s culture’s food and it’s culture’s
clothes around the flag dancing!
A cat doing a huge jump into the raspberry flavored water splash!
A Time Machine and people fixing their mistakes
A dog on the moon floating!
An ice cream full of rainbow!
