I was watching a movie
The first time I ate a
Jolly Rancher.
Jesse McCartney was
in the movie.

Crickets crickets everywhere
I heard them as I sit.
I feel ants crawling on me.
I saw nothing cause my eyes were closed.
People all around me doing the same
get me kind of nervous.
I wonder what they hear and feel.
-Shania, 8
The sounds in my head made me think deeply of
my bed. The crickets the silence it made me feel as
if I was in bed. Just the bites of the
ants an the hotness of my pants. Took the whole feeling
away.
-Tyree, 10
The crackling the unwrapping the sweet smell of
grap. The hardness the pretty color all enough
to keep you away. The sweetness in my mouth makes
my stomach quake.
-Tyree, 10
The sound took me up in
a tree down the trunk
on to a road with a
big bell which was on
a trolley say open your
eyes
The sound took me across
a soft plain up into
mid air landing on a branch
and then down a bumply
trunk falling on to a
rocky ground that slide me
up to a big red train.
- Tiausha, 8
One is when my teachers
would bring in candy
to give to the

to the air make wish as
is fly around

Watermelon how it melts
into your mouth like it

As I heard the bells ring it took me back
to the old times when they were making railroad
tracks

The wrapping paper reminds me of
the sound of a hot stove with something
liquid falling on it.
-Desaree, 8
I heard crickets chirp
A bug flying quickly
past my ear
I heard the splash of
someone jumping into the
pool.
-Shyanne, 9
It reminds me of a girl's
shirt I saw that had
coffee on it
and how my mother
drinks coffee everyday
and that one
time she spilled it on her
clothes, so she was late for work.
-Shyanne, 9
I closed my eyes.
I heard crickets.
I heard birds chirping
I felt wind on my
face.
I felt the earth's atmosphere
I opened my eyes I was
on an island.
-Devonsheia, 8
It took me back to
when I was 9 riding my bike
with my little brother. It took me
back to when I used to go hang with
my old friend.
-Devonsheia, 8
I remember grape sodas
Days ago I had grape
soda.
-Hannah, 7
I hear crickets chirp
I close my eyes and see
me walking in some beautiful
woods
-Hannah, 7
If I search my mind I can still
see the water flowing at
my feet
I hear my breath shallow and
deep
As the mind blows through my
hair
I feel my soul fly into the air
Just by the sounds I hear before
me.
-Casie, 9
I taste the sickness
the pain
The comfort it is support
to bring.
It doesn't stop the flow of
tears
It doesn't stop the screaming
in my ears.
It can't rewind the years
It only brings back tears.
-Casie, 9
I feel like I'm in New York
park. I've just got out of the city
almost like I'm in the thin line of
city and the wild. People walk by
cars zoom by, but I also hear bugs and
birds so I don't know where I am.
-Jesse, 7
It looks like a cherry Jolly Rancher
Tastes like a Jolly Rancher
-Jesse, 7
I hear crickets
It takes me to my backyard
It reminds me of when me and my
cousins and friends playing on the trampoline
sitting on the chairs drinking
lemonade.
-Daniel, 8
My Great Grandma's Death
We're walking
Slowly, passing stores
talking quickly, catching up,
thinking of things that haven't been
said, we hear music in the streets,
I hear the cars passing by, people
yelling and laughing, seeing
all the families together brings
joy to our eyes, we talk about
our relationships and heart breaks,
we see her friends we talk to
them we say our goodbyes, someone
calls, she answers, she looks sad
and inside, she tells me, tears
start to run down my cheeks,
I was shocked and disheartened,
all these thoughts running through
my head, all I can think about is
why?? Why is she gone, just one
more day!! but eventually I calmed
down I thought, she's in a good place
now, she's happy there.
-Kacy, 10
Today I sat down on a bench
around nature and I put
my head down and closed
my eyes and I heard birds,
and crickets all around me
I pictured me in the forest
like Alice in the Wonderland
-Alexis, 8
When I look at candy I think
of when I was little, I think
of my neighbors, I think of
my friends when I first
met them and when we
started hanging out.
-Alexis, 8
The Sound of Birds
Just sitting around the table under the
tree listening to birds it makes me
feel like I'm in an imagination place
with a lot of beautiful flowers I mean
it's just like nobody's here.
-Zakiyya, 8
When I eat candy I think
about me being in the old days
laughing with family for the first
time on an old ragady porch it makes
me think of water that's surrounding
me.
-Zakiyya, 8
I stood in my backyard
of the new house me moved into
The backyard was beautiful
The trees were all kinds of colors
green, gold, and orange
The sun was beating down on us
but the breeze kept us cool.
I new I would like this place
but something about it... made
me shiver
-Danielle, 9
All kids love Halloween
Walking through the streets
or riding on their bikes
They stealthly walk up to their door
just in case something is waiting to
scare them...
Up the steps, they get the candy
and then they run away again.
-Danielle, 9

Sappho Fragment Exercise - CROP Week
Each poem either had to be titled or have the first line be one of the following fragments:
The one with violets in her lap
If not, winter
No more than the bird with piercing voice
But all is to be dared, because even a person of poverty
You burn me
But I to you of a white goat
The doorkeeper's feet are seven armlengths long
Just now goldsandaled Dawn
Sweetbitter unmanageable creature who steals in
Gold anklebone cups
You Burn Me
I was sitting there wonder what that smell
I look around did see anything I ran
Outside into the wood. I see smoke
but it was going everywhere I start to see
next you know fire was everywhere I try to run
but the fire came close everytime I ran fall
the fire start to burn my feet then it came
up to my head. It burn me but I didn't live.
- Nikki, 8
If Not, Winter
Slay rides, winter olympics, bird migration
They wouldn't excite if there was no winter
The North Pole would not excite
- Jesse, 7
Burn
You're a sweetbitter unmanageable creature who
steals in
who disgusts me, yet has me under
an unbreakable trance.
I resist, but I'm willing.
I want you, but your just out of reach.
I promised you anything,
you lied love in return
know that I know the truth
my heart's starting to burn.
-LIzzy, 9
You Burn Me
Pain, suffering, humiliation,
you burn me, to pieces of ash
you kill me slowly, it feels like
I'm in Hell, I'm losing feeling in my
heart, it's numb, it's black and
smokey, it's hard to breath, I'm
coughing, my lungs are closing up,
I'm dying, your hurting me
the more you lie, you don't
care, you don't even see me,
I'm laying here, by myself all
alone. I die, you start to
notice I'm not there, you feel
guilty, you know it's your fault,
you get the gun you pull the
trigger, your dead, and everyone
cares.
-Kacy, 10
The Doorkeeper's Feet are Seven Armlengths Long
My doorkeeper at my job key
is very long, it is so long and
gold. I don't know what it goes
to and I think it goes to
an magical door or something
like that.
- Alexis, 8
You Burn Me
You see me on the sideline
Just waiting for first sitting
O so we can make it to
the end zone.
Final score 56-28
flashes
you kill me when final touchdown
you run it in and we all celebrate.
-Cody, 8
If Not, Winter
When will you come
To sit with me in the sun.
If not winter then when
When do your lies end.
I forgot you face,
I'm sure you forgot mine.
The pace of time
Is moving to fast to count
You are missing out
On your daughters life.
I will weep
Until you come.
-Casie, 9
No more than a bird with a piercing voice
lay a small runt
There is more there
I may be small
but I have a big voice
My voice may come in handy
but not now
Waiting, waiting, waiting
-Hannah, 7
You Burn Me
There I was sitting so
peacefully and quiet
No one was around me
I was all alone
Then there I saw this
young man walking with fire
in his eyes he touched me
and that's when I said you burn me
-Devonsheia, 8
You Burn Me
I gave you everything
you stole some
I don't know why I
let you do it
Probably because you
made me feel important
Was it your eyes, face
your smile that forced
me to believe that
what we shared was
true
The way you treated
me
It was like you were
Satan
Everytime you yelled
your eyes appeared
pitch black
It was as if your
heart got turned to
coal
I let you take
advantage for so
long
But when you brought
her I had to let
you go
So now my heart
aches. I no longer
see your eyes, face,
or smile.
You burn me.
- Shyanne, 9

-Tyree, 10

as 7 arms. I stare at
him surprisingly.
He asks me is there a
problem I say no and
walk away shocked.
-Shania, 8
You burn me

Write a poem using an allusion from a fairytale or your childhood that is commonly known. Do not put the name of the story you are alluding to in your poem. Reference any part of the story except the title, you want your audience to be able to figure out the allusion without directly being told.
I walk along the woods with my brother and
stepfather leaving a trail of bread behind.
when my stepfather tricks us and runs lost
alone helpless. My thought came true. I
turn around to see it gone missing
As we walk I see a candy house
I stay away as my brother starts to eat.
"Come on pretties" sasy the witch, "eat what
ever you like" so he does. Run here
she comes. Run run run run run.
"Home again" stupid squirrel!
- Hannah, 7
I brought bread instead of stones
my mistake
So as I wonder in the woods
with my brother
I find no food for my father or mother
But I found a house
made of gingerbread
Owned by a witch who tried
to cook us dead
BUt I lock her in the oven
and I run away with my brother
back to my father and mother

No one knows it but I am an

I was skipping along on the path
I shouldn't
I saw this quaint little house
I couldn't
but yet I caught myself entering.
O dear
and noticed how empty the house was
I really shouldn't be here
but my tummy grumbled.
"Food" I mumbled
and I went to the bare kitchen.
I broke a chair
which wouldn't of happened if I hadn't been there
So I hopped down
and grabbed a bowl from the table
but the pot was so hot,
I dropped it on the floor
and all the contents from it poured
Oops didn't know.
I yawned
I figured I'd better head home,
but then a thought me
like an epiphany
why not head upstairs?
Maybe I shouldn't that's
theirs
but I didn't care
so I climbed the steps
by the way. It's bear
season. Goodnight.

but I didn't know why

from someone whom she met
and if she had that name her
baby would be safe.
I went for a walk in the
woods one day to get some berries
for my queen
When I came upon a dancing
man.
I hid in the bushes only to
see, the man was who the queen needed
the man danced around a fire and
shouted his name up to the sky
I ran to the queen to tell her
and now the baby's safe.
