Stapler
A Personification Poem By Lena and Samantha
“Click, click” goes the stapler
As it puts things together.
“Mmmm, I want to staple more!”
It releases it’s babies,
“Bye bye babies, I will miss you!”
Its mouth chews on paper corners.
BOOM! Goes the stapler like a person stamping.
“Munch, munch” don’t get near my teeth!

Packup Time
An Onomatopoeia Poem by Will and Samantha

Chatter, Chatter
Ms. Cristella reads a story.
Beep, beep
Mrs. Fischer calls, “Bus One is here.”
Thump, thump

“All the buses have been called.

My Winter
By Samantha
Striped scarves- yellow and orange
Strips so fuzzy and warm.
T.V. Weathermen says what it is like outside,
“It is going to be freezing outside!”
Hot, steaming matzo ball soup
Matzo balls in my mouth cooling off
So soft… “YUM!”
Fresh enchiladas cheesy and spicy
but delicious!
Warm, hot pellets in my hand
stacked altogether and smooth
“crunch, crunch.”
