Thanksgiving Acrostic Poems

Thank you for helping me
Helpful when I'm hurt
Achieve goals that are really hard for me
Nice to me when I work hard
Kind to everyone when they are nice
Super thankful for helping me in sports
Grateful for all the things you do for me
Incredible for gifts you give me
Value of thankfulness is you because you teach me
Incredible for being thankful
Naturally nice person to everyone when they are down
Good person

By Abel

By Cam



Turkey is my favorite and I'm thankful for that
Helping others make me and others happy
A little kindness brings big impression on others
Nice people make a nice world
Kind words are big experiences
Spending time with my family is most important
Give a kind word and you feel good
I love my family
Violence is bad, but kindness is great
I am thankful for having education and Mrs. Moy
No one is forgotten or left out
Giving thanks is best of all and important to do

By Ethan


The things that I'm thankful for are listed below; read them now so I don't have to show.
His name is Frank and he cares for me so; he has a great wife who loves me and helps me grow.
Anna is nearby me all through the night; she loves me very much and plays with delight.

Prepositional Poems

"Airplane" by Zelda

On an airplane,
above the ground
looking out the window.

On an airplane,
in the clouds,
then you see something.

On an airplane,
getting higher and higher,
with flying ducks, horses,
pigs, and more.

On an airplane,
coming down,
with flying dogs, cats, 
and mice.

On an airplane,
amazed, landing,
When you wake up,
It was only a dream.

"Rocks" by Aubrie

Atop the rocks
as the water flows
down the river it goes

Atop the rocks
as the fish will swim
down the river they go

Atop the rocks
I can reach the trees
as the water and the fish
go on, and on, and on.

"A Bouncy Ball" by Noah

In the mall
Down the hall
And in the toy store
A kid ran by
I heard a cry
And ask, "What's wrong?"
He said, "Bouncy ball"
I looked down the hall
And guess what I saw
A bouncy ball

"Rough Days" by Jackeline and Zelda

Rough days are 

as stinky as a skunk

Rough days are as tough 

as fighting a dragon

Rough days are exhausting 

as staying up late

Rough days are as hard 

as bumping your head

Rough days are a

s rotten as rotten carrots

"Rough Days" by Zelda and Jackeline

Rough days are as stinky as a skunk

Rough days are as rotten as a bad carrot

Rough days are as tough as fighting a dragon

Rough days are as hard as a table

Rough days are as exhausting as staying up late!

Midnight Snack by Nova and Her Mom 

(Thank you for sharing your poem with us!)

The stars are as bright

as your smile.

I'd like to gnaw on them for a while.

The night sky is black

as an empty iron pot.

I wonder if that star is hot.

The moon is a

big ball of cheese.

I could take a bite if I please.

A feast of crickets

disturbs the quiet.

I shut my eyes and chirp to try it.

A milky shooting star

streaks by to the south.

Can I catch a meteor in my mouth?

"P.O.E.M.S." by Bryan

Play around with words
Other voices
Expression and feeling
Making and imagining
Super fun and funny sometimes


"Car Trip" by Sam

In the car on the street
Rain is pouring
Birds are soaring
to their home
Now the car is breaking down
Rain is plopping
Birds are soaring
to their home
Make it stop
Make it stop
What a day!




"The Plane" by Sam

We start moving faster, faster
Then we shoot into the air
My ears are popping
Get me out of here!



"Scary Bedroom" by Jackeline

It was at night
I was in my bedroom
Then I saw a bear
It was moving
And the lights were off




"Emotions" by Trinity

In an ocean there were mermaids
one of them was sad 
and the other was mad

So they were murmuring
how sad and mad
they were to their dad

Their dad was mad and sad
that they were telling him
about how mad and sad
they were

So then their mom was 
relaxing and watching the clouds
but somehow it got loud

The mom mermaid said 
to herself that if
they are sad and mad
She feels bad for them




"Night Sky" by Nova

Near Earth
Interesting
Gorgeous
High
Tall
Stars
Kind of mysterious
Yellow stars

"Space Odyssey" by Nova and Maria

The wind howls
like a deep blue sea
Far from earth 
in a galaxy

A galaxy close to Mars
but still so far
It's like a dream come true 
looking at stars

One little step for Earth
one big step for man
You see the Earth
as I can

Looking up feeling
so small I know
One day I'll be
really tall

"Island" by Nova

The birds above me
caw very loud

I cover my ears
over the clouds

I see whales in 
the sea across the island

They must be some
sort of family

Animal Poems

"The Kick" by Brendan

In the forest I stand alone
Looking for my beautiful home
Here comes a deer looking about
I stand there I won't shout
Inside the forest on the ground
I yell, "Man down! Man down!
Kicked in the face by a deer!"
Oh, wait. No one's here.




"Owls" by Dina

Above in the sky
I see you fly
At night I wish
I could be one of you
Owls, owls staying up all night
Owls, owls sleeping in the day
I miss all the fun
The night is done
I'm sorry to say this poem
Needs to end right away

"Ocean Wonder" by Ethan

Up above flying fish fly

Sharks are swimming below

On the ground mussels eating alone

There was something on my leg

Uh-oh!

"The Fly" by Ivan

I stand on 55th Street
I look up high
And from down below
I see a fly fly away
I follow the fly
Down the street
After that,
It attacks me
Good grief!

"Red Panda Bear" by Kennedy

Red panda bear
Red panda bear
I look up from where I am now
I look all the way up from the ground
I see you climb high up in the trees
I see you climb away from me
Don't be scared
Don't go away
I want you to stay

"The Flying Fish" by Kennedy and Nova

Flying wet,

Swimming high,

Up far in the beautiful sky

Never seen

Soon will be

In the water next to me

The flying fish

"Underwater Animals" by Milo

Under water there's a party
With water animals about
Dancing, singing, and playing
As they are listening
Under water, under water
As they go
Look at them dancing
Prancing and moving

Color Poems

The color poem begins with a metaphor that gives a feeling about the color according to the poet. The next three lines are similes that give examples or supporting details about the first line. Some poets were so inspired, they added more lines!

Brown is elaboration

like pages in an old book

like bark on trees

as brown as soil

By Aubrie

Blue is fun

like playing video games 24 hours straight

like jumping off a 40-ft cliff

as awesome as eating hot pie on a cold day

By Brendan

Blue is sadness

like a cub lost from its mother

like a seal lost at sea

like a person's heart broken after a breakup

By Bryan

Purple is royal

like lavender in bloom

like my peacock shirt

as royal as a king and queen in court

By Dina


Green is earth
like a leaf sprouting out
like a big green tree
like people cleaning and being green
as beautiful as flowers
as bright as the sun
like a green grasshopper
like a green chameleon

By Ethan

Green is fun
like the pool in my backyard
like the mint ice cream in my freezer
green are the leaves on the big oak tree

By Ivan

Yellow is sweet

like yummy honey

like the smile on the sun

like the element of balance

yellow is the sweetness of every rainy day

By Joey

Brown is chocolate

like a deer blended in the trees

like a tree's bark with a woodpecker looking for ants

like a leaf that fell off a tree which is dry

as cold as a hippo in a mud wallow

By Johnnie

Turquoise is relaxation

like ocean water in the morning

like basking in the sun at the pool

as comforting as a good book and a blanket

By Kennedy

Brown is gross

like mud on your clothes

like spilling gravy on your pants

as gross as falling in mud

Black is spooky

like the monsters under your bed

like walking in the woods at night

as spooky as the night!

By Maria

Blue is cold
like the ice
like the cold water in my glass
as cold as snow and winter

By Noah

Blue is cool
like the water
like a book
like a pencil sharpener


By Romel


Yellow is exciting!
like getting a package in the mail
like a roller coaster
like a happy day, with nothing wrong

By Sam

Pink is excitement
like kids running up and down
like children getting new clothes
like teachers getting paid
as exciting as getting my new pink shoes

By Trinity


Brown is persistence

like making mud pie
like digging a hole
as much work as knitting a sweater

By Zelda Myers
