Did you know it? I'm a poet!

So since my 4th graders are doing their poetry unit, I've decided as a good teacher to model their different poetry assignments by writing poetry as well and sharing some with them.  I figured I might as well post them on here.  So far I have an acrostic, a 5 senses poem, and a color poem.

My Acrostic (I didn't use my first name)

Music is the language of my soul
Singing fills my heart with joy.

Here and there traveling the globe
Over oceans, countries, and continents
Wanting to see more of the world.
Ecstatic to be teaching.
Longing to live on the beach.
Loving every second of this beautiful life.

Color Poem:

PINK
Pink is the color of my pencil spilling words out on this page.
Pink is the department store strewn with hearts and flowers when Valentine's is near
Pink is my happy color
Pink blankets sweet baby girls
Pink are the cotton candy clouds at the setting of the sun
Pink is the color of the tell tale signs of spring
      The explosions of cherry blossoms and tulips paint the scene
Pink beaks and noses sing of new life that breaks
      After winters cold and dreary
Pink is the color of ribbons and curls
     of tea parties and tiaras
     of cupcakes and candy
     of sugar and spice
     of love and laughter
Pink is the princess within every little girl
Pink is the color of my heart
Pink is my signature color.

5 Senses Poem:

Sounds like thunderous roaring

        drowning out my noisy troubles and worries

Looks like all the world is before me

     gazing at the open door

                    met by a sparkling crystal floor

Feels like I am totally free to do and be

            whatever I want to do or be

       Smells like tranquility

Tastes like sunshine,

                     bananas,

                        and coconuts...

The beach is a blissfully delicious paradise.
