Color Poetry in the Car


We listened to Horrible Harry and the Dead Letters on the way to school over the last 2 days. IN the book the characters write their very own poetry. The last chapter is nothing but poems that students wrote about colors. KB wanted to give it a try!












If You Want to Find White...

If you want to find white
look at plain paper
look at the fog
look at Santa's beard
look at Neena's hair
look at a skinned, scarred knee
look at the snow and
if you want to find white
look at the tissues.

If You Want to Find Brown...

If you want to find brown,
go outside after it rains
be barefoot
step in the mud and
let the piggies soak in

If you want to find brown,
go look at a building and
its hard bricks that hold
the building together

If you want to find brown,
look at Charlie's hair,
eyebrows, and eyes.
He is a soft, brown dog.
