Our final assignment for Poetry Month was to write an Ode to the Earth.  The poems that were written are amazing! Here are a few examples.

An Ode to The Earth by Eli

Oh how I love the Earth

With its luscious green plants

It all just makes me want to dance

Trees and flowers and animals galore

I can’t choose which biome I like more

Deciduous Forest

Burned woods, pollen, dry

Oak trees,

Bouncing on grapevines

Armadillos, deer, turkey

Rocky barrens in the woods

Taiga

Fierce, unstoppable, wild, isolated, Ecstatic

Earthy smell of soil and crumbling logs

Pine trees

Fishing in canoes

Crystal clear lakes

Ocean

Refreshing, comforting, relaxing

Seashells

Man-o-war, jellyfish, sharks

Salty water, waves

Mountains

Fierce, cold, scared, crisp, clean

Ears popping in altitudes

Wind blowing

An Ode to The Earth by Austin

Oh, your oceans

so big and blue

I only wish i had a canoe

I walk along your sandy beaches

Snacking on my fresh grown peaches

How i wish

I had a canoe

Then i could paddle

On the big and blue

I can’t stand just Sitting

here staring

I have to admit

It’s just plain boring

Oh how i wish

I had a canoe

But on second thought

I don’t want to sail

The big and blue

An Ode to the Earth by Ryleigh

And what wonderful thing on it lies

Like the land itself

And the pretty blue skies

From the tallest mountain

To the the Mariana Trench

And all the plants sproutin’

Makes it a wonderful place to live

From the Tropical Islands in the ocean

To the Tundra

It has so many things to give

An Ode to the Earth
