Spring Team Poetry!

Here are some team poems that we wrote last week!

Spring is a radical thing
Birds laugh, play and sing
Bugs and spiders crawl around
All the snow melting in town
Flowers are now in bloom
And puddles are coming soon!

-by Charlie, Damond, Zack and Kordell


Spring is coming with Easter on its tail
Chocolate raining down like hail
Sunshine is coming through the dark trees
People are screaming in fright of bees
Flowers are coming with bugs all over
And the next thing you see is a lucky four leaf clover
Winter is leaving,
Summer is coming,
Do you say "Yay" or "Nay"?
We say Hip-hip-hooray!

-by Maddy, Paeton and Carson


Spring is a time of renewal
It brings things with wings
Spring dyes bunnies brown
Easter eggs excite everyone
Spring lures insects out
Now that's our spring thing

-by Himavan, Tytus, Rohan and Alex


Bugs and baseball
Dirtbiking and dandelions
Rain and riding bikes
Easter and excitement for football
Masters and mud puddles
Playoffs and petunias

-by Carter, Tannor, John and Davis


Spring break, spring break,
Time to have some fun
Bike rides, partying, and playing in the sun
Flowers are blooming and no more snow
Time to get up and go, go, go!
Rain is dancing with the wind
Ice is melting and getting thin
Counting down the days to ten
And now we're back to school again!

-by Sierra, Ann, Lauren and Ayesha


Insects, animals come out now
Cats and kittens go "meow"
Trees are green and roses are red
Everyone gets out of bed
Ice and snow slowly melt
Bird feathers feel like felt
Flowers blossom and they bloom
Bursting coolers go "kaboom!"
We love spring, it is so cool
So come jump with us in our pools-
We have no major rules!

-by Tatiana, Dasha, Ryan, Aiden and Arslan
