5th grade students are just finishing up their poetry unit. All 5th graders wrote a personal poem in a style of their choice. They are writing their poems to enter the 28th Annual National Student Poetry Contest. There are many prizes available for students and the school to win, including a $500.00 grand prize and a new computer lab. Last year, some of our 5th grade students were published in The American Library of Poetry book. We are hoping to see many other poems published in the book this year.
Please enjoy this poem written by 5th grader D'Montray
Nature
As birds fly through the forest
A river flows northwest
It’s August so leaves are falling
Trees are balding and birds are calling
It is wet and damp
A few people said “we should camp”
As we go closer we realize
People don’t understand they could jeopardize it
We must work to repopularize
I theorize we should idolize NATURE
