Love is...

Love is red like a beating heart

Blue like my eyes

Pink like tulips

Yellow like daisies

Orange like an orange

Love happens when I see my family

When I’m hugging my cat Cleo

When I see my school

When I say goodnight

Love tastes sweet like bubblegum

Like just-picked strawberries

Like hot chocolate when it’s snowing

Love sounds like when you win an award

Like when you’re in a meadow

and the wind is blowing the flowers

Love is you.

Written by Mrs. Tuohy’s 1st grade class

If I Could Be…

If I could be a color

I’d be yellow

like my summer hair,

pink like tulips in spring,

blue like a fat blueberry,

black like a bat.

If I could be a sound

it would be the splash

of an in-ground pool,

the roar of a rocket

blasting off to the moon.

I would be as green as

Mrs. Tuohy’s shirt,

as pink as the stripe on my sneaker,

as purple as a berry.

I would be the sound

of Odee meowing,

the grrrrr of a lion,

the quiet of a rabbit

hiding from a dog,

the gallop of a horse,

the snap of an alligator

or a shark biting.

I would be the sound

of a spider

spinning a web.

I would be all of this

and much, much more!
