Trees!

3rd graders at Alcott Elementary were thinking spring thoughts...they read William Carlos Williams' "The Locust Tree in Flower," and looked at pictures of trees to inspire their own tree poems.

So sweet

so bright

nice and big

a little old

but that's alright

it's so stiff

and that's what I like

it's pretty spirit shows

in May

it grows up

up

up

from the tall green grass.

Young Baby Tree

    Small.

    Cold.

    alone

    in Winter

         snow is falling.

            No one

plays with me any more!

            Not Oak.

           Not Tulip

         Not even

Pagoda Dogwood

            I'm stiff.

        And sad.

            My moss is falling off.

         This

         is

          winter all alone.

How ancient

you are.

How long

have you lived?

Who did you play with

when you were two?

How ancient you are.

How long have you lived?

The tree growing on Wahoo land

I am picking

While the fruit is ticking

the colors of the berries

change around while I turn around

The tree talks and here

is what it says

Wahoo Jahoo the tree is doing

The caca it lives in the

World of Bamboo!!!!!!!!!!!

Oak tree

Oak tree

you

are nice

There's nothing better

Thank you

you

are

The best

you

provide

shade

Thank you

for

being planted

by a

glade of grass

Why

can't

it

be

summer
