Poetry

Room 10 students are writing poems about animals and bugs. We wrote this poem together:

If I were a Painted Lady Butterfly 

By: Mrs. M and the students in room 10

If I were a Painted Lady Butterfly I would start my journey as a little blue egg. 

I would hatch out of my comfy egg and eat my delicious shell. 

I would eat, eat, eat yummy green leaves until I’m too big for my skin.

I would wiggle out of my skin, molting the too tight layer.

I would wrap my silky layer all around my body forming a golden chrysalis.

In a few weeks, I will push my way out of my cozy home and flap my wings until they dry and then I start to fly.

I would use my tongue as a straw to drink sweet nectar. 

I would hunt for the leaf that I was born on.

I would lay some tiny blue eggs continuing my butterfly lifecycle.
