The break

At the end of break it began to snow
it became very cold
the people here became very slow
they might have also became very old

"my butt is showing

and it's snowing"

A Snow Day

A snow day looks like a white down blanket

A snow day sounds like the TV on too loud

A snow day smells like nutmeg and cinnamon

A snow day tastes like snow ice cream and hot chocolate 

A snow day feels like the grownups are ready for us to go back to school!

I went snow shoeing
In the forest bundled up
Family is fun

Haiku by Avery Keyser, 5

 The first snowflakes fall. 

Cold and Small. 

Soon there will be happy faces all through the land!

Daniel Sias, Age 8

 

To the point!

It's been a long break, 

There has been a lot of snow, 

And the schools are all closed.

Light as a feather 

Like a cold cloud in your hand 

Everyone loves snow

A Mom’s Snow Day Haiku

Please go back to school

I am going insane here

Cannot wait for spring

and...

ice cubes and tonic,

juniper berries and limes, 

together at last

The snow so white the sun so bright when the moon comes out it will flash to the white ground in the winter night it will reflect back to the dark sky like the stars in the
         Moonlight

oh winter snow you crush my soul as a slowly become a couch potato. 
stick a fork in me I think I'm done I'm going to Toyota city where the temperature is 31. 
good bye polar vortex you thought I'd be had, now I leave you ice covered and sad.

Like a huge blanket of love 
Yes those tiny crystals of white

Winter Wonderland

   Winter Wonderland

  By: Emma Herzig

 " Outside was a winter wonderland,
             The snow glittered in the sun-light,
Icicles hung from trees
Children played, sang, and danced, in this wonderful winter wonderland. "

The God Awful Winter and The Unlucky Ice Skater

Polar Vortex Limericks

There once was a god awful winter
Nobody did get a splinter
they cancelled his flight
he got some frostbite
And still nobody did get a splinter


There once was a fantastic skater
Who fell through the ice like a tator
please pass the spice
she fell through the ice
And a shark just might have ate her

By Connor Mueller, age 13

Some ideas...

Here are some links if you need some guidelines for writing your masterpiece:

Acrostic poem
and my super duper simple example:

S   some
N  nerds
O  only
W whistle


Limerick....  love

One of my favorites is a Haiku

You can do one with multiple stanzas...  oh the possibilities!


If you put kid poetry or writing poetry into google - there are lots of other sites.

Snow day

This is not a picture from this week, or even this year.  It is so cold that I wimped out from even going out to take a picture.  I will tomorrow.  This blog is established for the kids in our region to have a place to publish poetry about the weather we are experiencing.

enjoy...
