My Poems
Tornado Poem
It forms weirdly in the beginning
but it is deadly after that,
a gray funnel,
a big dust bunny,
It looks like a funnel of dust,
It makes cows fly,
It desroys homes,
It destroys buildings,
Some are white and others are different,
White ones are water spouts,
Which look like ice cream cones.
most of the time it's big and scary.
but it's over in about an hour
The Beautiful Horse
One beautiful horse
intelligent, gentle, caring,
gray with spots
Deadly Ice Storms
One deadly Ice Storm,
strong, powerful, dangerous,
white crystals shining
This week in school we were learning about the weather. The teacher had us write several poems about the weather or nature, the ones above are mine. The last one the teacher said was "powerful". I wasn't too sure about writing poetry, but I think I have caught on. I am really excited about the one the teacher liked.
I got signed up for guitar lessons this week. I also got a guitar, so I can practice at home. It's nice. Aunt Lisa says I have to practice 3 days a week for 30 minutes. I think I will like it. The teacher is supposed to be really nice, so that's cool too.
We went swimming on Wednesday night. We didn't get to go very long, but it was fun. Aunt Lisa and Auncle Derek said we will try to go again. I start swimming lessons in two weeks too, so I will get to play in the water then too.
I have my parent-teacher conference next week. THe teacher had us make up math pages to give to our "parents" so we can be the teachers. I think that will be fun. Grandma and Aunt Lisa have to do the whole thing.
I have been playing outside a lot lately. The weather has gotten into the 70's so it's not too cold. It rained one day, but we got to go outside the next day.
I have been making friends in my class and on the bus. The last couple of days I have been doing my homework on the bus so I don't have to do it when I get home. It's not that hard, so it's not a big deal.
I had a math and a spelling test in school yesterday. I missed three I think on the spelling test, but I think I got all of the answers right on the science test. It was over weather. It was pretty interesting. THe teacher brought in newspapers for us to look at the weather forecast, so that was cool.

Your teacher is right...that *is* a powerful poem. In just a few words you captured both the power and the beauty of an ice storm...that's not easy to do.
I like all three of them...you're pretty good at it, so I hope you keep writing.
And guitar! Once you get past the sore fingers (and I swear, you will!) it's soooo much fun. I started playing when I was 9 and still like playing. I don't play very well, but I have fun.
Maybe I should get out my electric guitar and play for the neighbors upstairs :)
