I am a shoe

I am a shoe.

I wonder what it would be like to be a child.

I hear the stomping of feet all day.

I see grass, dirt, woodchips, and pavement.

I want the world to talk to me.

I am so sad that nobody listens to me.



I pretend I am a person.

I feel your feet on me.

I touch the ground every moment.

I understand that your feet get big and you have to get rid of me.

I say, “I love being a high heeled shoe.”


I dream of making a friend.

The Football

I am a football.

I wonder when the next game starts.

I see a crowd entering the stadium.

I want to get kicked into the field goal.

I am ready to see the Patriots.

I pretend I am the coach coaching the team.

I feel Tom Brady’s hand.

I touch the net of the field goal.

I understand I need to be kicked.

I say, “What is the score?”


I dream of being a football player.

A Pencil I Am

I am a pencil.
I wonder what I look like when I’m little.
I hear children talking to the teacher.
I see all these words like me, I, am, people, and next.
I want to be used, but not too much.
I am all graphite and wood.

I pretend to be real.
I feel smooth.
I touch a lot of paper.
I understand some of the words on each page.
I say, “Stop!” I don’t want to be used and get too small.

I dream I live forever.

Black

Black is as dark
As a dark fudge brownie,
Or as a blackout in a city at night.

Black is quiet and sneaky.

Spring

Puddles and snowmen melt,
Tulips and daffodils are being planted,
Spring is coming!
Everyone cheers with glee,
Butterflies flutter and bees buzz,

Now we can’t wait ‘til summer!

Chera

There was once a bean named Chera.
 She loved to have parties.
 And she loved to make friends.
 She made friends by dropping in to say hello. 
Then, one day, at a party, she met a friend and Chera used her jumping power.
 And her friends said how do you do that? 

She said because I am a Mexican jumping bean.

Spring

Flowers coming up
Forsythia brightens hearts

Birds come back to north.

A Home Run

Crack!  As soon as I hit the ball I ran as fast as I can to first base.
 I saw the ball hit the ground in the outfield.
 I raced past first and headed toward second. 
Then, past second and ran toward third. 
Then I saw a player throw as I passed third. 
Then, I slid into home base just as the ball was caught. 

I was safe.

Tiny Turtle

Tiny Turtle was walking. 
He found a taco on the sidewalk.
 The taco said hello, because he had legs, hands and a face. 
Tiny Turtle said, “Do you want to walk with me?” 
The taco said yes, and then stepped in a wad of gum.
 Tiny Turtle took it off, and they went to the arcade. 
The taco asked, “Do you want to be friends?” 
“Yes, my name is Tiny Turtle.”
 “My name is Tiny Taco.”

 They walked along.

Bears Will Be Bears

Bears, Bears,
Not like hares,
I love berries
Just like fairies
Bears, bears will be bears not like hares.

Bears, Bears
Eat the hares,
Eat the berries,
With the fairies,

Bears, Bears will be bears not like hares.
