The H

One day I looked out the window.

I saw the letter H

made out of

the branches.

But one day, the letter

H was gone!

My mother told me that the

gardener had cut the

branches off.

Now I am waiting for the branches

to make the next letter.

Poetry Hides

Poetry probably hides all

around us.

Maybe it hides in your toy box

with all your action figures

and dolls.

Maybe it hides in your bedroom

with your colored pencils and

notebook paper.

Maybe it hides in your classroom

with all the desks and

all the chairs.

Maybe it hides in the f lag

with all the red, white,

and blue.

Maybe, just maybe, poetry

doesn’t hide.

Maybe it’s everywhere you look.

Green Ice

Green ice.

Green ice.

Have you ever seen

green ice?

No! I saw the green

snow.

Oh, nice!

The Zoo

The zoo can have a lot of noise,

such as cracking and creaking,

grrring and purring,

peeping and cheeping.

The zoo can have a lot of noise.

What noise can you hear?
