This week the 3rd grade students wrote their very own Ars Poetica. Now quite a few weeks into their residency, its time for these poets to let us know what poetry is for them!

Poetry Describing
Kymora
Poetry is like you’re
floating on a fluffy cloud
Poetry tastes like you are
eating gold cereal
Poetry feels like you’re
getting a puppy, Poetry
is like trees blowing
in the strong wind
Poetry is like the gem
that made you rich
two years ago
Poetry is like catching
a fairy and playing
with it forever and
never letting it go

Poetry is like a calm feeling book

Poetry feels like peace
and quiet. Poetry feels like
you’re in Mexico. Poetry
is a nice and quiet air.
Poetry is like you’re floating
in air. Poetry is like a
hot summer. Poetry feels
like hot chocolate. Poetry
feels like getting a
pedicure.
