“Orange Is”

May 2nd, 2007

By Jashonjashaun.mp3

Orange is a pumpkin

In a field at a little farm in fall.

Orange is a peach

Sweet, slimy, sticky in my mouth.

Orange is juice

Sweet and sour

On a hot summer day.

Orange is a school bus

Listen to the noisy children

Driving on the way to school!

Orange is a cheetah

RUNNING- Fast! Quickly!

Through the jungle

Under the hot, baking sun.

    Jashon, I love your line about the peach. You did such a great job describing it- it makes me want to eat one now!

    Hi Jashon, I love your poem! I feel like I want to see & do all the things you described! (well, except for the cheetah!)
    Keep up all the hard work!

    Hi Jashon,
    Your Orange poem was fun to read. I actually could feel the sticky sweet juice of the orange from your wonderful description. Thanks for sharing it on the blog!

    Jashon,
    Your poem is terrific! I especially love the cheetah part. Did you know I went to South Africia this Feburary and actually had the chance to pet a real cheetah at a preserve.

    Hi Jashon,
    Summer is almost here. Orange does remind me of a peach. I can taste it in my mouth. Juicy, sticky, yummy.
    Delicious.

    Jashon,
    I really enjoyed reading your poem. The way you described orange juice makes me want to have a glass right now! I also liked how you used the words “hot” and “baking” to describe the sun. You are a very descriptive writer!
