Short Poems

Springtime
Blossoming flowers, raindrops shower
Birds chirping, nature’s power
Green grass growing, trees start blooming
Spring is here, fresh beginnings looming

Fun at the Park
Swings flying high, children’s laughter
Slides whooshing down, moments after
Monkey bars challenging, but never fear
Playing at the park is always near

My Family
Mom’s the best at cooking dinner
Dad’s the king for making us a winner
Brother’s silly, keeps us on our toes
Sister’s kind, love for her just flows

The Ocean
Waves crashing, seagulls calling
Sandcastles built, seashells sprawling
Sunsets over the horizon, orange and pink
The ocean’s beauty, impossible to miss or blink

Medium Poems

Catching Butterflies

I love to catch butterflies,
Colorful and bright,
Fluttering by me,
In the warm sunlight.

With a net in my hand,
I sneak up real slow,
Closer and closer,
Until I’m ready to go.

I take a deep breath,
And swing with all my might,
Snatching the butterfly,
In flight!

I hold him gently,
And count his wings,
Then let him go,
To do butterfly things.

Rainy Day Fun

Pitter-patter, raindrops fall,
Drip-drop, on the roof and all,
Grey skies, rain is here,
But it’s not so bad, never fear!

Grab your boots, put on your coat,
Jump in puddles, don’t stay afloat,
Splash and laugh and have some fun,
On this rainy day, we’ll make memories, hon!

Maybe we’ll read, or play a game,
Maybe we’ll bake, or sing in the rain,
Whatever we do, it’s sure to be,
A fun-filled day, just you and me!

My Furry Best Friend

My best friend is furry and sweet,
With paws and a wagging tail,
My best friend is a doggy you see,
And boy, does he ever prevail!

He greets me each day, with a happy bark,
And a slobbery kiss on my face,
He’s always happy, never glum,
And his tail never leaves its place!

We play fetch, and tug of war,
And take walks in the park,
He’s by my side, all the time,
And never leaves me in the dark.

My furry best friend,
Is loyal and true,
A better friend, I cannot find,
And I know he feels the same way too!

Long Poems

A Day in the Life of a Second Grader

Waking up early in the morning,
Second graders start their day with a yawning.
Brushing their teeth and washing their face,
They get ready with a lot of haste.

Walking to the school bus stop,
They greet their friends with a hi and hop.
On the school bus, they chat and laugh,
Sharing stories and playing quick games in half.

In the classroom, they sit up straight,
Eager to learn and concentrate.
The teacher greets them with a smile,
And starts the class on time with style.

They start with math and numbers,
Adding, subtracting and multiplying wonders.
Next comes reading and writing skills,
Pronouncing words and improving their drills.

Then comes science, social studies and art,
Discovering new concepts with a hearty start.
Interactive projects and group activities,
They learn and grow with all the possibilities.

Lunchtime comes, they eat and talk,
Sharing stories and jokes with funny stalk.
Playing with friends in the playground,
Swinging, sliding and chasing around.

Afternoon class, they gear up more,
Signing, dancing and singing galore.
Closing the day with a lot of fun,
They pack their bags and head towards the run.

As they reach home, homework awaits,
Reading and practicing with steady gates.
Dinnertime with family and dear,
Telling stories and plans for the year.

Bedtime arrives, they tuck in tight,
Dreaming of tomorrow with a happy sight.
Second grade may be small in size,
But their curious minds sure do rise!
