I Am Poem 

I am loving and sweet. 
I wonder what else is in the world that we haven’t discovered. 
I hear people typing on computers. 
I see a great future with my friends. 
I want to have a good school year. 
I am loving and sweet. 
I pretend that I know what I’m talking about. 
I feel excited because I get to see my friend. 
I touch fluffy dogs. 
I worry about my family. 
I cry when I get frustrated and upset. 
I am loving and sweet. 
I understand everything is not always going to go how I planned and 
how I thought it was going to go. 
I say do what makes you happy. 
I dream that the world will become a better place. 
I try to do my best and stay happy at all times. 
I hope that my life will be everything I want it to be. 
I am loving and sweet.

Look in the Mirror Poem 
 

I look in the mirror and what do I see? 
A sweet, smart, caring person looking back at me. 
I’m really good at running 
and I like to go to the mall. 
I spend lots of time playing sports 
And I can’t wait for fall. 
I could improve trying to stay more focused 
and talking in front of a lot of people is hard for me. 
But I know if I try, I’ll be the best I can be.

Opposite Poem 
 

I love hanging out with my friends and family. 
I dislike when people lie to me. 
 
I have lots of shoes. 
I want to get more dogs. 
 
My friends say I am really sweet. 
My family says I am athletic. 
 
One day I will buy a jeep. 
I will never hate animals. 
 
My favorite foods are mac & cheese and spaghetti 
I will never eat squid. 
 
I feel sad when I miss people. 
I feel happy when I’m with the people I love. 
 
I feel safe when I’m around people. 
I feel scared when I think something bad is going to happen.

Sensory Poem 

 

Anger is red. 
It sounds like the boom of thunder during a storm. 
It tastes like burnt hot popcorn. 
It smells like a forest on fire. 
Anger feels like waves washing you up on shore.

Couplet Poem 
 

Winter is my favorite season. 
I love it for so many reasons. 
 
I like it best when it snows. 
So I can wear my comfy clothes. 
 
We drink hot chocolate to get warm. 
While we wait for the next snow storm.

As tall as the trees 
Lifts their long necks to get leaves 
I like their brown spots

Limerick  

 

There once was a girl named Maddie, 
she had a cousin named Addy. 
Their nicknames were the Giggle Twins, 
because they always had huge grins. 
They got in trouble for being too chatty.

Mystery Poem 
 

I went outside, and what did I find? 
A box to open. I hope no one will mind. 
 
It was tied on top with a bow of blue. 
I was so excited, it looked so new! 
 
I opened it up to see the surprise, 
And inside there was an amazing set of supplies.

I Have A Dream Poem 

 

I h​ ave a dream that boys and girls will be treated equally in sports. 
 
H​aving equal facilities and practice times would be nice.  
A​dditionally there should be the same emphasis on both genders sports. 
V​ictory would be obtained by all. 
Ev​ eryone would win if it was equal for all. 
 
Ap​ plause for both boys and girls teams. 
 
D​ividing the resources equally will help achieve this dream. 
Re​ alistically it's possible if we work together. 
E​ach of us must do our part. 
Ai​ ming high should be our goal for both boys and girls. 
M​any would benefit from the success.

Two-Sides Poem 

 

 
 

Night    Day 
is  is   

Dark,    Warm, 
Cold,  Bright, 

Sleepy.  Lively. 
It's too late so there’s no school  It’s time for school everyday 

No sun,  Sun, 
No warmth,  Warmth, 

No birds singing.  Birds singing. 
The cool calm breeze  The hot sticky sun 

Blows on my face.  Makes me hot. 
I could enjoy the  I miss enjoying the 

Night sky,  Night sky, 
Quiet,  Quiet, 

City lights.  City lights. 
I wish it was daytime.  I wish it was night again.
