I Am From
I am from my bracelet that my teacher gave me
from India and California
I am from a family who is kind and thankful
And from my mom’s Oreo cake
I am from the playground by my cousin’s apartment in India
Whose giant slide is fun to ride
I am from playing with my little brother
I am from Indian songs
I am from Dhriti and Himanshi
I am from rice and rajma
I am from those moments on Saturdays when I get to Facetime my cousin
Limerick
There once was a pretty girl
Who found a nice, pretty pearl
She rubbed and scrubbed it
With a cleaning kit
Then she took a bath and twirled
Haiku
They are so cuddly
They are white and brown and black
They eat carrots. Yum!
Acrostic Poems
EASTER
Eggs! Eggs! Everywhere!
An egg on a chair
Spot an egg on the table
There are 150 eggs
Everywhere!
Run! Run for the golden egg. Yay!
CHIRP
Chirp, said the bird while flying up high
He sang so much that he never cried
If he fell down, he got back up
Red birds joined singing his song
Purr, comes the cat. Better fly high!
VALENTINES DAY
Valentines is a happy day
All the people sing and play
Love is in the air
Everywhere
Notes are sung happily
They pass out cards in a tree
In the classroom they sing a song
No one is sad today
Everyone shouts “yay!”
