Free-Verse Poetry

This week my students read a poem containing a story. It was about some sticks in the woods at night.
Then I asked them to write their own poem. It didn't have to rhyme. It just had to contain a story. Their ideas are so sweet! Here are some of the poems that they wrote:

Poem #1- 
The wind was blowing, and it was raining.
It was a storm!
I was scared!
I almost popped.
My sister was laughing at me.

Poem #2- The Day at the Park
One day I went to the park.
I was riding my bike and doing some tricks on my bike.
I saw some kids playing with sticks.
I got off my bike to play with the kids.
It was fun.
Then it was time to go.
I said goodbye and got on my bike.

Poem #3- Dogs
Once there was a little girl that had five dogs.
They were really nice.
Sweet and Cute.
And the little girl loved them very much.

Poem #4- Picking toys
Once upon a time a little girl had a mess.
Her mom asked her if she can clean her room.
She said no.

Poem #5- In the Woods
I was in the woods trying to go find my cat.
And I saw a pretty butterfly.
But some came in the woods running to me.

Poem #6-
Last night a girl named Kaitlyn went to pick up sticks with her big brother Christian.
She loved to pick up sticks.
If she got to at least 30 or 40, her mom would make her, her favorite dinner.

Poem #7- 
Last night a little girl named Kania was outside picking up sticks.
She saw a flower in the woods on the grass.
It was cool.

Some of my students didn't have time to finish their poems, so I am going to give them some extended time to work on these on Thursday. I hope I have more to publish after that.
