Poetry

 Keep a Poem in Your Pocket 

Keep a poem in your pocket 
and a picture in your head 
and you'll never feel lonely at night when you're in bed.

The little poem will sing to you 
the little picture bring to you 
a dozen dreams to dance to you 
at night when you're in bed. 

So--
Keep a picture in your pocket 
and a poem in your head 
and you'll never be lonely at night when you're in bed.

Today we were introduced to our end of the year literacy unit on Poetry! Students listened to a variety of poems from famous poets and then wrote acrostic poems using their names as the title!
