1. My
Poetry
Anthology
By: Jenna Kelmser

2. ODE TO NATURE
The water washes on the shore
Teasing all of the gulls galore
Bringing them worms and so much more
I think it’s
really fun to
watch
When all of them
can’t get a catch
I think I might
just stay a
while
And walk along
the beach for
miles
We watch the
people leave in
glee
I’m really glad it isn’t me
I want to stay and watch the sea
I wish it would just stay with me

3. Limerick
I like to eat my mothers food
She cooks a lot when I'm at school
It fills me up after the day
I hope it never goes away

4. Why oh why are roses red?
Could it be all just in my
head?
Or tweedledee and
tweedledumb
Painted them for a green
thumb
Maybe the sun changes
their looks
What if it its just from all
the books
My imagination swirls
I hope it stops before I hurl
Why oh why are roses red?

5. I rotate
I hold water
I hold dirt
But what dose that do
I hold lava
I hold sand
I hold fire
All for you
I hold wind
The currants of the ocean
I hold Animals Galore
I wish I held the moon
I wish I held the universe
I'd give it all to you

6. I really love this popsicle
Its really yummy
I wonder what it looks like in my tummy
My sister says is looks real funny
But she's just jealous
She doesn't understand that my popsicle is a living man
He walks with me at the fair
I wonder if he could grow hair?
I decided to name him Todd
While I was listening to my iPod
The walk home was hot and long
I couldn't find Todd by the end of the song
