But they brightened my day. Found them this morning and they made me smile: Keep a Poem in Your Pocket Keep a poem in your pocket And a picture in your head And you'll never feel lonely At night when you're in bed. The little poem will sing to you The little picture bring to you A dozen dreams to dance to you At night when you're in bed. So- Keep a poem in your pocket And a picture in your head And you'll never feel lonely At night when you're in bed. -Beatrice Schenk de Rogniers It's from Mrs. Ritter's who keeps poems for First Grade Critters in a 3-ring binder where they add their favourite poems. They do activities with the poems, read them together and illustrate the pages before adding them to their binder. She tells them that poetry is fun and it doesn't have to rhyme. Poems for critters: ![]() March SUNFLAKES If sunlight fell like snowflakes gleaming yellow and so bright we could build a sunman we could have a sunball fight. We could watch the sunflakes drifting in the sky We could go sleighing in the middle of July through sundrifts and sunbanks we could ride a sunmobile and we could touch sunflakes- I wonder how they'd feel. -Frank Asch RAINY DAY I used to hate a rainy day There were no outside games to play, And even though our house was roomy, The gray rain made the inside gloomy. Now, I don't mind the rain at all, For when no friends come to call, I've all the company I need I pick me out a book- and read! -Gina Benn-Zano WEARING OF THE GREEN It ought to come in April Or better yet, in May When everything is green as green- I mean St. Patrick's Day. With still a week of winter This wearing of the green Seems rather out of season- It's rushing things, I mean. But maybe March is better When all is done and said: St. Patrick brings a promise, A four-leaf-clover promise, A green-all-over promise Of springtime just ahead! -Aileen Fisher It's Time for Spring My sweater's tight and itchy My snow pants are too small Last week I lost a mitten I can't find my scarf at all. My woolen socks have lost their toes My boots have lost their tread And I have lost the love I had For words like "skis" and "sled". But...my fishing rod still fits And...my baseball bat still hits I have a kite that wants to fly So...Winter, call it quits! -Bobbi Katz |
