Animal poetry

After reading about animal migration and a Native American myth, the students all wrote poetry about their favorite animal.  Here are the poems of those who wanted theirs published on the blog.

(Note: I have changed their spelling for ease in reading)

Tigers

by Elizabeth

Their glaring orange and black stripes

They really leave you in a fright.

When you go hear that beast

You feel like the tiger's going to have a feast.

When you stare into those green eyes

You think you're going to be baked to a pie.

But it's a nice animal.

Giraffes

by Summer

It starts with Gira

and ends with ffe.

Now you've got a giraffe.

There are tall tall trees,

big big leaves,

and forest all around.

Leaves leaves leaves

grass grass grass,

and food food food for this giraffe.

Grows tall tall tall,

never small, small, small,

and long long long is the giraffe.

Una-corns

by Audrey

They live on Una-corn island,

they eat flutterbys and poop butterflies.

It's the one and only one-eyed, one-horned

rainbowlicious UNA-CORN!

Dogs

by Hollyanne

Dogs are among us.

They run. I am stunned.

They eat meat and not parrots but carrots.

They wag their tails not snails.

They do not get sick but they do.

Dogs bark not be dark.

They are playful not dreadful.

Dogs are the best.

Zebra

by Zac

A zebra has horse-like feathers

It really is a majestic creature.

Black and white or white and black

This poem is by: Zac.

The zebra eats grass and weeds

If you scared one it would pee!

Neon-cat

by Brady

Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow

Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow

Meow Meow Meow Meow

Poptart body and a rainbow!

Elephant

by Alex

Flop flop flop, their ears go.

Stomp stomp stomp, their feet go.

Chomp chomp chomp, their teeth go.

Flick flick flick, their tails go.

Suck suck suck, their trunks go.

Fly fly fly, their goes Dumbo.

Unicorn

by McKenna

It looks tall and skinny

with purple hair and a rainbow tail.

It eats rainbows and poops out jellybeans.

It lives on rainbow island.

Elephant 

by Tia

Elephants are big,

Elephants are grey,

Seeing elephants makes my day.

Elephants are great,

Elephants are fine,

Elephants make me rhyme rhyme rhyme.

Zebrafish 

by David W.

Zebrafish hide a lot.

Zebrafish eat seaweed.

They have white and black bodies.
