The Dance of Spring
by Martin (7th grader)

Last year, in 7th grade, my English teacher, Mrs. Geis, assigned a poetry project. In this assignment we had to write several poems. This poem, "The Dance of Spring", is my personification poem, in which I had to give life-like characteristics to inanimate objects. In the first stanza, I wrote about spring coming in. I tried to make it sound like when spring comes. It's really exciting. It tells about everything that happens when spring starts. The next stanza describes what happens when spring comes to an end and summer starts. I tried to describe the seasons as if they were alive. In the third and last stanza, I made sort of a conclusion to the poem. It says that although spring has ended, the feel of it still stands. I think this is the best part of the poem.

The Dance of Spring

Spring runs in like a cheetah through a field
The flowers jump in with all the beauty they yield
Bees hum their song with voices great and clear
And the clouds start to cry with thousands of tears

Then when It's all over, spring runs away
Then the next visitor, summer, comes to stay
And now the hot sun has fully awoken
And the final words of spring have finally been spoken

But spring leaves a reminder to remember the days
Of when he was here in April, June, and May
For the days spring has lived have not yet died
Because the bees still sing and the clouds still cry.

Springtime is fun
by Tiana (Aged 5)

Because I like to run
Under the warm warm sun
And you can ride a bike
And go on a hike
And you can go to the park
Until it's dark
And you can hear the birds sing a song
And you can sing along
I like to smell the flowers
For hours and hours
And that's the end So good-bye then.

Chickadees in the Cherry Tree
From: Betty

There is a tiny cherry tree, beside the potting shed.
It isn't just a cherry tree , but a tiny bird homestead.
A tiny mother chickadee has started a new brood.
She really doesn't travel far, to find her babies food.

Cause perched up on a tiny branch a little lower down.
Is a tiny bird McDonalds, that is open all year round.
Its early in the spring time now, the babies start to wake.
But mother doesn't worry, she knows for their sake.

She will stay close by McDonalds, to watch the food supply.
As black squirrel on the fence next door is keeping quite an eye.
For he helps himself to anything, he sees just laying round.
Mother bird sits in her tree, just giving him a frown.

Stay away from my McDonalds, she chirps so merrily.
My babies need this special food, so they can all fly free.
It isn't that she minds to share the little bit of food.
But, mister squirrel wants all of it, he really isn't good.

Maybe the nice lady who lives inside the house.
Will bring him out some peanuts, if he's quite as a mouse.
So as you see this mother bird is trying to do her best.
To take care of her babies, and then to get a rest.

"Pure Joy"
from Jodi

I can smell it coming
wildly bitter sweet air
the fragrance catches me frowning
and I smile hardly aware

In my mind I see pastels
hiding in cellophane grass
and sweetened oval jewels
rolling out of my hands

there's a maypole
around which I dance and sing
a basket left on a doorstep
and footsteps after the doorbell rings

crocus, purple fragrant
tiny, yet so strong
even in the last snow
they will remain however long

I can smell it coming
it's on the wind
there's still a chill,
but it's waning, teetering out and in

It's spring
like a child's favorite toy
every spring
brings with it pure joy!

Celebrate Spring

Let's celebrate spring.
Listen to the birds sing.
See how the barren landscape
gives way to flowers trying to escape

from the cold, hard, ground
without making a single sound.
The children want to play outside
where everything seems to be alive.

There's mothers and babies everywhere.
The showers fall as the earth prepares
for the hot, dry, summer that lies ahead.
No more long nights sleeping in bed.

Now that the days are longer
and the sunshine feels warmer.
Even the men are just itchin'
to pick up a pole and go fishin'.

A lady is wearing a dress and bonnet
with pretty, bright, colors on it.
She walks to the church down the street.
She slips inside and takes a seat.

She bows her head in prayer
to her God that meets her there
Thanking Him that the long winter is over
for the soft, green, grass and the clover.

She thinks back on the spring of her life,
of when she & her husband became man and wife,
and of how she used to be so preoccupied caring for her family of five.
But now, all alone, she had time to hear the birds sing
and time to celebrate spring.

The Springtime Poem
by Coriander age 7

Snow is melting
Springtime is coming!
The earth is awaking.
The ferns are stretching
and waking up,
uncurling from sleep.

The tips of the branches
of the oak and the maple
are bursting out leaves.
The scent of rain and moist
seeping out through the earth.

From goldfinches and chickadees
come sweet singing
a feeling of joy comes from the birds.
The little buds are bursting open
making you feel like a flower too.
Soon come the roses.
