Where I'm From Poem

Back where I come from-

When dinner’s on the table,

We all gather ‘round.

If we’re all together,

Childhood stories are bound to come up.

If we’re telling stories,

We’re probably laughing ‘til our stomachs ache.

If our stomachs ache,

We ate too many Christmas cookies after opening presents.

If we opened presents,

We’ll be having friends over to play with new toys.

If we’re having friends over,

Start poppin’ the popcorn because we’ll be eating all night.

If we’re eating all night,

We might as well sleepover.

If we’re having a sleepover,

We’ll sleep straight through Saturday morning.

If we sleep through Saturday morning

We’ll have to rush through our chores to make time to play.

If we play all day,

We’ll be hungry for dinner,

When we all gather ‘round-

Back where I come from.

Shel Silverstein Found Poem

Summer is

Worn-out flip flops dragging across the sand

Green grass turned yellow atop the dried-up land

Countless afternoons spent lying on the boat

Or cruising down the river in a neighborhood-wide float

Soda by the bottle lying in coolers in the sun

Boxes full of puzzles ensure that we have fun

Ice cream cones are melting as they bake in the heat

Leaves provide shade for those people with bare feet

These are the things that I'll always treasure.

 

Gary Paulsen Found Poem

It is perhaps wise to remember

Life is the plot

Make the story flow

There will never be another first like this one

Every one, every single one

Becomes too contrived, a sham

Think of that now

All that energy, all that time, all that work and focus and drive,

So fragile

This will be wonderful to write about in my next book
