Welcome to the Shields Elementary Poetry blog! I am thrilled to have this opportunity to post these examples of student writing on a regular basis, twenty weeks out of the year. There are many creative, imaginative, thoughtful, and enthusiastic poets at Shields, and I hope to present much of their work over the next six-plus months, along with links (as available) to the poems students are reading.
For our first week of 5th grade classes, no poem was brought in for students to read. Instead, we discussed the Hands on Stanzas program, and what students knew -- if anything -- about writing poetry. Students were then asked to write a poem about the clothes they were wearing that day.

My shirt is the color yellow.
I wear my shirt cause it's my lucky shirt.
I also wear it cause it is my uniform shirt.
I hate to wear my pants because they
are so long and they don't fit me
right. I am also wearing my lucky
sneakers. They help me run really fast.
And I am also wearing my new
glasses. My glasses help me
see better and is helping my vision
get better.

I'm wearing a white shirt,
So ugly and so dull.
I feel like a prisoner,
Inside my very own clothes.
Oh dull white shirt.
What do you want?
You follow me wherever I go.
Through the park
In the bathroom
Wherever I go
But one thing's for sure
I'm not a fashion designer.

My shirt is white.
It is blank.
I hate it.
I hate it.
My pants are navy blue.
No designs.
No color.
I can't believe I'm wearing this.
It's so not me.

I do not like my shoes they gave me
last year it tights up my feet and it
hurts. I like the new jacket it is
comfortable for the winter. There are some
pants I wore over the year, kind of puffy
and I don't like them cause it is hard
to walk with them and every time
I want to take them off it shocks
me pretty hard.

I have short sleeves burrrr I
feel a breeze.
I'm wearing pants but I hope
there's no ants.
I have shoes on I hope there is
no duty upon.
I wear socks they don't have
any dots.
I have underwear I hope no one
sees it there.

Clothing
Alexander R.
The clothing I'm wearing today
is a white t-shirt and pants. Those
are my favorite clothes because
my father gave them to me as
a present and the t-shirt is
my lucky t-shirt
because if I do a test with
it I always get A or B on my
test and that's true. The pants I
am wearing I used to not like
because I used to feel embarrassed
with them but now I like to wear them
and also they feel good.

My clothes make me feel nice and warm.
When I woke up I saw a thunder storm.
It was 8:06 AM.
I started to take a bowl out and I ate Trix.
When I put on my clothes, it made me feel nice and warm.
These clothes reminded me of a form.
These clothes reminded me of everything.
My clothes just make me want to sing.
Clothes
