I had a dog
who was sitting in the fog.
When my dog is sitting
I feel like spitting.

Here are student poems,
inspired by our Poetry Workshop:

There once was a girl named Cassie.
She had a dog named Lassie.
Cassie sold Lassie
and bought a fish named Sassy.
Cassie lived with Sassy,
and Cassie liked grassy
and Cassie was classy.

Harry Potter
He breaks a lot of rules
but is also very cool.
He goes to Hogwarts School.
There's a teacher who's named "Snape."
Harry has an invisible cape.
by Lisa T.

The Library
There once was a library that had four books.
Then the library got a box that said," It's raining, it's pouring,
the library's snoring," and in the box
there were copies of the poem.
The in one hour
there was an earthquake.
It broke, it shook, and destroyed the building
and cracking it and split it in one half.
It fell,
fell, fell, fell, fell, and fell
until it cracked in four halves.
by T.J.

My Brother
I have a brother who loves to tug.
He loves to hug
and he loves to bug
every person who steps in our house
starts to throw up bugs
from seeing my brother
and runs straight to the tub.
by Emily W.

Running Around
I saw a man running around in pain.
I thought he was insane
so I went to Virginia, the state,
and I found a life-mate.
She soon got ill
and I ate some krill.
by Karl S.

I saw a man who died.
His name was Tie.
He loved to cry
because he died.
I went to Orlando
to be in a basketball game
and a man
named Can,
said, "I can go to Harvard. I play for the NBA.
I was in the basketball Hall of Fame"
I bought a ring.
I lost the ring
in Fowers Lane.
I saw a man who died.
His name was By.
by Steven H.

The Dog
I once had a dog named Shoot.
He once shot a puck that was loose.
He shot it into a basketball hoop
and went out to get an ice cream scoop!
by Ben A.

The Moose and the Goose
There was a moose.
He was chasing a goose
and when the moose found the goose,
the goose was a moose!
by Mark M.

Mr. Pear
Mr. Pear had a chair
that was shaped like a pear.
He was reading some gospels.
Don't look at his nostrils!
For they're too gross, 'cause they're too slimey,
all gucky and grimey.
So don't glare or stare
at the daring, scaring, grossing nostrils!
by Joseph H.

The Dummy
There once was a dummy
who thought catapillers were yummy.
He thougth they were candy,
gross, green and dandy.
In the season of fall
he ate a rubber ball,
and he was so dumb, he ran into a wall.
by Mark H.
