Triangle Poems

Oreo
A fat, fuzzy, whiskery cat
Sitting on mom's fancy truck
With a smile

Zachary M.

Teacher
Mrs. Stein, a golden person
Who is loving, caring, cute and colorful.
A friendly teacher who loves to teach.

Natasha

Leprechaun
A tricky, little fellow
Wearing mostly green
Playing tricks on people
So they won't find his
Shimmering gold.

Steven

Teacher
Mrs. Stein, who is loving, caring, and beautiful
Retiring this year
I wish she wouldn't!

Amanda, helpful, loving
Has lots of friends
Spends most of her time on the phone.
Always helping others in need.

Grandma
Cathy, sweet, caring
Always wearing the same black pants.
Just being her funny self.
That's MY grandma!

Emily, playful, but funny
Chasing anything that moves.
Loves to run around the house.

Willamina, nice, old woman
With a smile on her face
With a big heart of gold inside
A really good, loving
Granda, to me.

A smiling dog
With brown ovals on his ears
Being gentle with me
Sweet
Sleepy dog now.

Annoying
Small, smart, funny kid
With a good heart
Mets Fan, but not good at sports.

Christopher

Bobby
A fast talker
He talks so fast I think
He's talking about his sister,
When he's talking about his brother.
Funny, and makes friends with everyone.

Loving, sweet, caring girl
Who likes to do make-up.
Thinking that I'm very cute.
Sadly, she is in the hospital
Right now.

She was very special and will be sadly missed
by all of her friends, and family.)
