Poems from the Workshop:
At
the Indian Valley Public Library
September 16, 2008
The words that
are underlined are the words that were picked from
the pool.
Walking
in the city
on my way to school
carrying
my smelly
lunchbox
wishing
that I didn't
have to go
Imagining
going on a picnic
in a colorful castle
with a Fairy Tale
princess
and a prince in shiny armor
dreaming
about magical bright ice
Pop
in the noisy room
the smell
of fresh peanut butter and jelly
wafting
and then my teacher
said, "Stop daydreaming!"
