Invitation Poems

This week we read some Songs from the Tempest “Come unto these yellow sands…” and “Where the Bee sucks, there suck I…”

Then we wrote invitation poems–invitations to magical colorful places full of sound where marvelous things can happen.

I just really love Key Lime Pie’s poem because it is so full of her personality.

Through the Jungle
Come with me to the nice green jungle.
We’ll swing from vines,
Climb trees.
We’ll visit the gorillas
Boom, boom boom!
(They pound their chests.)
And the parrots
Rawk, rawk!
We’ll see the jaguars,
And the jaguars might chase us
So we’ll hide in the trees.
Maybe we’ll even see some lizards.
We’ll swing back through the vines
Down through the trees.
We’ll go back home
And eat leafy greens.
