After reading a few of the poems from the book, we asked the students
to write their own poem based on their favorite color and their five
senses. From their poems, they created illustrations using their imaginations.
My Sky Blue Poem
By M. M.
I hear a bird.
I see a moon.
I taste kool-aid.
I smell rain.
I touch water.
My Green Poem
By Jannae
I hear a snake sliver up a tree.
I see a butterfly flying to a crayon.
I taste a green apple that is next
to lettuce.
I smell pasta that is close to an
olive.
I touch ice cream that is close
to falling on grass.
