Lisa is 10, 5th grade. Her teacher gave the class an in-class assignment. She says that, if she hadn't given it to them unannounced, and watched them all do it in the 40-minute time limit, she'd have assumed a bit of cheating. I'm still not sure she didn't manage to cheat somehow or other. Hehe. I posted one poem here years ago. I've never claimed to have any talent in that area, and it shows. A fun, silly little poem. Lisa's already better than me. So, they had to pick a color, and describe it.
White...
...is the color of a lovely dress on a bride just about to get married.
...is born as my soul inside me ready to face the world.
...feels like the cold snow on a wonderful winter day.
...looks like a beautiful diamond on an engagement ring.
...tastes like vanilla frosting on a delicious cupcake.
...makes me feel happy when it falls from the sky on a cold winter day.
...is mad when it is on a hailstone falling from the sky.
...smells like a Lilly of the Valley that just blossomed on a spring day.
...lives in the Arctic as a baby polar bear with her mom.
...is sad when it melts away because of Spring.
