My Colored Days
by Duncan, first grade poet

On my blue days, I feel happy
because my mom came home.

On my hazel days, I feel freaked out
like a monkey climbing a tree.

On my green days, I feel crazy
like my baby sister when she tackles me.

 

Colors
by Adrian, second grade poet

On quiet brown days,
I’m hibernating like a bear in
Winter in his cave.

On cold blue days,
I’m cold like a polar bear.

My Colors
by Jackson, third grade poet

On my orange days, I like how
I can lean like a tiger in a tree.

On my yellow days, I have fun
like a roller coaster ride in a park.

On my gold days, I feel
happy and calm.

On my red days, I’m as sad
as an elephant with no peanuts.

 

My Color Days
by Gabby, third grade poet

On my red days I feel mad,
like a fox when he doesn’t get his prey.

On my aqua days I feel gloomy,
like a penguin when it gets too warm.

On my emerald days I feel exquisite,
like a pretty white dress in the dark night.

On each colorful day I feel different,
but some days I am lots of colors.
