"I Am" Poetry

 

By Michael, Age 10

I am flowers waving in the wind
I am a leaf rustling from my stem
I am the air that you breathe
I am the water you drink
I am the vines that wrap around trees
I am the trees you climb on
I am the stones you skip
I am the animals you see
I am the grass you sit on
I am the whole dream of these things

By Katelyn, Age 9

I am the soul of a horse
I am the sun that rises and sets
I am the rapids in rafting
I am the nectarine you eat
I am the fin of a dolphin
I am the trees when you’re camping
I am the animals you seek
I am the frogs in the pond
I am the friend of all friends
I am the whole dream of these things

By Nikki, Age 9

I am a cat crawling through the grass
I am a fairy swinging from a tree
I am a delicate purple flower swaying in the wind
I am a small bunny hop, hop, hop
I am a slimy turtle crawling up the bank
I am my family nice and warm
I am a mermaid swimming slowly
I am a speck of sand on a sandy beach
I am a marshmallow roasting over a fire
I am the whole dream of these things

By Evan, Age 8

I am as light as a feather
I am as fast as a horse
I am as strong as a rhino
I am as pretty as a flower
I am as nice as a puppy
I am as sweet as candy
I am as bright as nature
I am like a cloud
I am as snowy as a mountain
I am the whole dream of these things

By Madeline, Age 11

I am a leaf falling in fall
I am a stream flowing with the wind
I am an elephant tromping in a river
I am the vocal chords drumming in a person’s throat
I am a leaf a butterfly landed on yesteryear
I am a child running through long, tall Queen Anne’s lace
I am a mother soothing her child
I am a moth falling to its death
I am a fire burning with rage
I am a song rumbling out of a singer’s voice
I am the whole dream of these things

By Colin, Age 10

I am a willow tree waving in the wind
I am rushing rivers white and rumbling
I am forests sheltering animals
I am mountains tall and majestic
I am snowflakes cold and intricate
I am moss tree-hugging and moist
I am a mango orange and ripe
I am a snake sliding through grass
I am a frog catching bugs and swimming
I am a silver fish jumping in a mountain stream
I am a trickling stream cold and refreshing
I am a book providing knowledge
I am the whole dream of these things

By Katie, Age 8

I am the dolphin swimming the water
I am the child playing in the snow
I am the fastest swimmer for swim team
I am the fish in the river
I am the sweet ripe carrot
I am the red ripe strawberry
I am the flowers swaying in the wind
I am the green trees on the hill
I am the love of my family
I am the funny of my friends
I am the bark of dogs
I am the squeak of guinea pigs
I am the whole dream of these things
