The Camel by Isaac

I got this idea when you were thinking of the countries of India and Iran.

There once was a Camel, "Water keeper of the desert" the called him. One day he walked straight into the capital of Iran (which was the country he lived in). The people, the guards, and then King chased the camel across two countries. They stopped in a jungle land they called India. The camel and people lived happily ever after.

Pink Skink 1 by Hannah

This is a story about a Skink. I know that Skinks usually aren't pink. That's why I wanted to write this.

There once was a skink who went to the river for a drink.
Then he let out a toot and he really did stink.
But why was he pink? He's a skink!

Valley Forge by Isaac

This poem is about George Washington's men during the long winter at Valley Forge.

It is cold at Valley Forge
We don't have much food to gorge.
We are very weak and blueness
Covers our cheeks. We sleep in
Our bleek little houses, and
Share our homes with the rats and
Mouses.

A Day at the Races by Isaac

I got this idea because I think I'm a good runner.

One, two, three, GO!
All the runners lined up in a row,
Ready to start the dash.
The winner will get caluable cash.
When they hear the whistle blow,
some run fast and some run slow.

I like that I made a poem about running.

My Nature Adventure

This is a true story about when I went to the village of Ajada with my dad and met a puppy.

One day I went to Adjada with my dad. When I got there I met the cutest puppy in the world. He was an African pup, but I didn't care. I followed that puppy everywhere. We went over mounds of dirt, and I held up my skirt so I wouldn't get hurt. We climbed over rocks and kept an eye out for hawks as well climbed over logs and huned for frogs. A man walked by who asked me if I wanted the puppy for almost free. So I wondered, "Is she joking with me?" So I said, "No thanks. I won't buy this cute boy. If I take it back, he'll be Jack's new chew toy!"

I liked that I tried to make it funny at the end.

Shoot, Slash, and Steel: A Pirate's Poem By Isaac

I got this idea of a poem from my book about pirates. I like the book a lot so I decided to write a poem about it.

Blackbeard, Kidd, and others too!
They used to roam the seas as our ships do.
And when they are caught
They are soon found pleading in front
of the towns mob. Next to Deadman's line the whole
Crew, one and all, is there getting
ready to die.

I just like it. It matches with the story in the book about them getting caught and hanged.

A Family of Snakes by Hannah

This is a story about some snakes. I didn't really get the idea from anything. I just thought it up. :)

This is a family of snakes. The daddy is black with orange strips. The mommy is purple with red spots. The sister is green with a blue strip down her back and some purple spots on each side. She has a big black spot on the back of each thigh. These snakes love to eat pie!

I like that I described what the snakes looked like.
