Yum! Poems about Food

In Ms. Reed’s class, we wrote poems about food! We thought about how food can be connected with memory and people we love. We read a poem from Kwame Alexander about fried chicken and discussed all the different senses he used to describe the chicken. Please enjoy these delicious poems!

Pizza
Baldip

The pizza is looking
so good. The pepperoni
just like oreo cookies
and the cheese is like
a multiplication chart.

I like my mom's cooking
Arshan

especially cheese sticks when you stretch it,
it looks like heaven clouds meeting in my
mouth. Oh yes, it will make you eat
1000 of them. And yes, it is a secret
recipe.

Yummy Ice Cream
Arya

I like ice cream
because it melts like
snow in your hands.
And the yummy flavors
also how ice cream
is cold like ice in the
winter. It also looks
like a yummy scooped
ball in a cone.
