Poems By Third Graders at Hills Garrison Elementary School (Hudson, NH)

On Monday, March 9, third graders at Hills Garrison Elementary School came together to celebrate poetry and practice figurative language. Here's what the students wrote during our writing session! They're deep thinkers.


A puzzle (by Leah, 3rd grade)

Love is a puzzle 
Yellow brightens the day.
A big, thoughtful heart
gets overtaken by depression.
You are a shortcut to wonder.

Emotion Ocean (by Meredith, third grade)

Our emotions are waves in the ocean
Blue like sadness or green like jealousy
You can see the emotions dancing in the water
It goes in and out and catches the emotions as it grows older
Why do you give us sadness?


Madness is  a Hammer (by Lily, third grade)

Dark and black
Hard brown handle
Scrapped up
Why is it so dark colored


A Rainy Day (by Izzy, third grade)

Sadness reminds me of stained glass.
Purple, green, red, and blue.
It looks like a tapestry of drops and puddles.
What does sadness remind you of?


Happiness is Puppies Playing (by Anonymous, 3rd grade)

Puppies playing in the yard
in the bright green grass
jumping, running, and cuteness.
Puppies' fur in the sun.
Do you think puppies are cute.


Broccoli (by Caiden, 3rd grade)

Disgust is broccoli.
Green
A grasslands.
It was in the grocery store.
Do kids even try broccoli?


Entertainment is TV (by Max, 3rd grade)

Jordan got home today and went through the door.
He went to his living room
and turned on the TV. 
It made him sad
because it looked like a void.
A dark, dark void.


Flowing with tears (by Makena, 3rd grade)

Sadness is a river
Blue and dark flowing with tears
Sloshing through hard times
Filling through the years
Would I ever be empty?


Death Trap (by Alex, 3rd grade)

Love is a death trap.
Pink, red in the sky.
Sad up close.
Falling into an infinite loop.
Why is it nice here?


The Box (by Patrick, 3rd grade)

Jealousy is like D.
D. is all colors.
D. always gets knocked
Right at the start of the game.
Why is D. a box?


Sunflower (by Danica, 3rd grade)

Happiness is a sunflower.
A sunflower has yellow petals.
It has soft speckles in the center.
A gust of wind takes you away.
Where did you go?


Empty Can (by Tristan, 3rd grade)

Emotions are paint.
Different shades, different emotions.
Every can is different.
Sometines Empty.
How do you get through?


Getting a New Dog (by Tessa, 3rd grade)

Dogs make you happy because
They are happy and cute--How
They play around in the grass
and the sun shines on them.
Do you like Dogs?
