Swift Elementary School 2nd graders believe that poems can be found nearly everywhere! After we read “Finding a Poem” by Karla Kuskin, students brainstormed places where poems are found and wrote their own poems.

Where Do You Find A Poem?
Arya C.
I found a poem in the forest
From looking at the coy fish
Sparkling in the water like freshly cleaned dishes
From looking at butterflies in the sky
Looking like they’d want to say “Hi!”
From looking at hedgehogs so prickly
But they are also tickly
From looking at rabbits
Watching their habits

And I could also find car toys.

I See a Poem

I see a poem in my eyes
Which travels to my mind
And gets written into lines
I get surprised when I see the imagination in me
Unlock a door
to something you’ve never seen before

I found a poem in the park
Squirrels running around
Fast and funny with their tails.
Looking for some nuts under the tree.
Bees are buzzing and children are screaming!
Bunnies hiding in the bush.
Ants are crawling back home
Taking bread crumbs with them.
Sitting on a bench and resting.
I am enjoying the sunny day.

spring
Sanvi D.
I found a poem in spring time.
When beautiful flowers grow.
My favorite one is a tulip and
Roses.
The tulip and the roses are
Skinny, bright, and colorful.
I see the flowers on
The garden.
The rose and the tulip
Makes me feel excited and
happy.
Butterfly comes on top of
Flowers.
Also the best thing about spring is
That butterflies come out and all
Plants start to grow.
Spring is my favorite season
That’s all I like
About Spring!!!!!
I found an orange in my poem.
Samidha. D
Round and soft, fresh and juicy
Sweet smell of summer
Not sour as you think
Reminds me of orange cake
Making me twirl around
Sugery,Yummy, Great
a garden of oranges
Ocean
Krish G.
I found a poem in the deep blue ocean
Look at the dangerous white foamy waves!
They are so beautiful and scary
Splashing on the dusty sand.
A big whale swims around its prey.
Sea animals are so cool when
Moving so fast from each other.
Blowholes pushing water so high.
A starfish hides from its predator
A shark comes closer
Terrified fish tries to escape.
Everyone is hungry!
It is getting colder.
I saw a fish
Playing with a rock
It’s so beautiful!
I see a person
Cooking kebabs
I see a lot
Of sea animals
They are so cool
Don’t go deep inside
There might be some
Hungry sharks!
Look at the Starfish!
It is so cool!
It’s like a real star
Why would a starfish
Hide from a shark?
It’s hungry!
Hide next to the surface.
But don’t go high!
They might cook you!
They can be hungry!
Be safe out there!
Bye Bye 🙂
