Grissom’s 6th and 7th grade students are no strangers to expressing their love, as I was lucky enough to learn last week. Students spent some time watching Rudy Fransisco’s “If I Was A Love Poet” before diving into their own poem writing processes. Check out a few love poems below:
6th Grade
Sleep
by Liliana S.
I love sleep
When you sleep you dream
A dream is imaginary like a unicorn
I love sleep
When you sleep you have comfort
Comfort is as warm as fire
I love sleep
When you sleep you’re in your PJs
PJs as fuzzy as a bear
I love sleep
When you sleep, you are relaxed
relaxed and calm as water
I love sleep
Sleep is so common
Everyone likes it like candy
I love sleep
Sleep is enjoyable like candy
I love sleep
I Love My Mom
by Dayona R.
I love my mom
My mom is sweet as candy
her smile is pretty like flowers
her hair is as soft as a teddy bear
her heart is big as the Atlantic Ocean
her eyes are beautiful like the sunset
her personality funny like a comedy movie
her voice is relaxing as music
And her looks are lovely like roses
I love my mother!
Untitled
by Jose G.
I have a soccer ball that is soft as a piece of bread
My soccer goals are big as Chicago’s downtown.
The benches are small as a rat. The soccer field is as
long as the Golden State Bridge. The crowd is loud
as a trumpet. The ref whistle is high pitch like my voice.
7th Grade
My Dog
by Ricardo C.
My dog Bruno is loud as a train
His fur is fluffy and soft like a pillow
He is as slow as a sloth
His color is brown like a tree
He has big brown eyes
Skies
by Delilah C.
The skies sunset is pretty like flowers blooming
in the spring
The clouds can rain. It’s sometimes annoying.
Raining and thundering like a bunch of toddlers,
crying and screaming.
But the sun can brighten the day
like walking my dog with my brother
Smiling wide and bright, happy and calming.
What Do I Love?
by Natalee R.
Things I Love?
I love my family,
friends, playing volleyball, and
sleeping. My friends are
pretty as a flower.
I love sleeping. Sleeping
is peaceful like birds chirping.
I love my pet, but sometimes he could
be annoying like a room filled with
a lot of noise. I like playing volleyball,
it could be frustrating like a math test.
