Children's Poems

 Poetry collection by Sikora, 3rd grade

 

The mouse is hiding,

You cannot see her hiding,

But you can feel her.

 

There is a dolphin,

The water lifts her body,

Then she reaches land,

 

The crow spreads his wings,

He takes off into the air,

He lands on a tree.

 

The sloth slowly lives,

He reaches for leaves until sleep,

He eats the leaves.

 

The fox of loving,

 She jumps into her burrow,

She hugs her child.

 

The snail of waiting,

Slowly crawls onto a leaf,

Then he waits for dark.

 

The octopus squirms,

It moves until satisfied,

Then it starts all over.

 

The swan of mothering,

Sits there waiting for her child,

Then they swim away.

 

The fox of slyness,

Walks forward to pounce on her pray,

Finally has lunch.

 

The dolphin of smarts,

Swims past big, fast, strong waves,

Then sings her song.

 

The goldfish sits there,

He waits there very boredly,

Bonks his head on glass.

 

Whale of doubtfulness,

Swims there doubting fish will come,

Lunch will never come.

 

The kite bird of hope,

Waiting for a big, strong wind,

I hope it comes soon.

 

The snail of waiting,

Sits there, waits there, stares over there,

Waiting until rain.

 

The peacock of proud,

Everyone sleeps while he talks,

He loves his feathers.

 

The white swan of grace,

Takes care of her calm children,

They swim with much grace.

 

 

The Grinch of Disappointment

destroys Christmas.

The monster of boredom

lurks in the dark.

The bunny of happiness

hops around in the grass,

and plays with her friends.

The Giraffe of Jealousy

copies everyone around the zoo.

She gives everyone a big frown

because she is mean when she’s jealous.

                           Olivia, 3rd grade

 

The cow of sadness

lumps around whose

only purpose is being used

as a food source.     

                      Geric, 3rd grade

 

The Mouse of Mischief

roams around causing trouble.

Let your guard down

and the trouble will double.

                      Nile, 5th grade

 

The Squirrel of Determination

collects nuts,

stores its nuts for the harsh winter coming.

No matter how much it loses it never stops.

Squirrel of determination.

The Cheetah of excitement

fast and always hunting

never ever grunting

accelerating at a fast pace.

                     Oscar, 5th grade

 

The crow of intelligence

squawking for more information.

The Lion of Wisdom

is wise from atop

ruling the jungle, he'll never stop.

The sea butterfly of life

flies through the sea

looking for friends.

The Dragon of Greed

flies around and takes everything

they think they're entitled to.

The axolotl of curiosity

swims in the depth of the world.

While the world is scary

she will always explore.

The horse of prowess

bucks and tramples

with valor and bravery.

He fearlessly

strives to canter and gallop

once more.

The Lion of focus

watches carefully, eyeing down its prey    

ready to pounce, not paying attention to anything else

waiting for the right moment.

           Tree

The tree, its limbs stretching up and through the clouds

the bark, rough

armor maybe

but what does it need protection from, for it is a giant.

              Lise, 5th grade

 

         Night

The sky, black velvet, but the moon

breaking through the black ink

and sending its sparks

Stars

Breaking the darkness till the dawn.

            Lise, 5th grade
