Here's a wonderful summer poem from Daniel Mowers, another student in Ms. Smith's class. What terrific creative writing! Hi Summer By: Daniel Mowers Great, glorious, golden sunlight shine on me, What do you see when we think of summer? Red, orange and yellow Staying home, playing games Being happy and mellow To see summer sky is poetry, Though never in a book Lie-True Poems flee- The grass is green, the sky is blue, Today is beautiful, with my Hair moving through the wind. Sunny day, fun day, friend day It's hot but fun We swim Everyone is happy Bye school, hi summer (Copyright 2024 by Daniel Mowers)
