Ode to Owls
Owls, you are so fluffy
You are really puffy.
You’re swift and graceful
as well as silent and beautiful.
I love the way your swoop and soar
from the branch to the forest floor.
You are keen and quick
And if they ask me what my favorite
animal is, you’re the one I’ll pick.
--Claire S.
Ode to Books
Books, Oh Books!
I was sitting down to do my homework
but then I saw you and just couldn’t resist.
Books, you take me to another world,
One second I’m reading, the other I’m flying.
Books, you’re the best!
You entertain me for hours;
you make me forget all the problems in life.
Oops—now it’s dinner and I’ve spent my time
On your two hundred and sixty pages.
Oh, how I love you!
So, Books, I want to thank you for existing.
Books, Oh Books!
Thank you, Oh Thank you!
--Camille S.
Ode to Watermelon
Watermelon, you’re so green and pink!
I love when you cry that juice,
so sweet when I see you.
You’re so beautiful.
I wish I could see you at breakfast.
I will never forget you when you are gone.
I will plant your seeds and make them grow.
Oh, how I love you, Watermelon!
--Idania Q.
Ode to Cats
Cats are fluffy
Oh, how cute they are
When they are kittens.
You are so soft, so clean.
You are colorful
in many different shapes and sizes.
You are so adorable when
You meow like a kitten.
--Laisa B.
Ode to Lemons
You are so sour
And fresh and smell good.
You are my love,
My true, true love.
You are so yellow
You make me blush.
Oh, Lemons!
Oh, Lemons!
You make my drinks taste good.
Oh, no!
You’re all gone.
I wish you’d come back.
I need you.
I need you.
Please come back;
I may die without you.
Ooh, an orange!
--Emma M.
Ode to H2O2
Oh, H2O2!
I love how clean my fruits and veggies are
How you keep my tub clean,
And how you are potentially toxic
If you are used too much;
How you can clean almost anything. . .
--Adrian P.
Ode to Puppies
Oh, Puppies! How you bark!
How you plat, eat, sleep and live.
Sitting there, wanting a home.
I can only choose one.
Oops!
All of you can come home with me. . .
--Catherine O.
Ode to “Hi”
Oh, Hi!
I love saying you.
You come out nicely in mouth.
If you were a person, you would be very nice.
You are easy to say and easy to write.
Your bring the niceness in each person
To the top ‘till two say “hi” and spread
The wave of happiness. . .
--Colin T.
Ode to Pink Pigs
Oh, pink pig!
Your tail is curly--
It’s amazingly pink.
You’re so pink--
and you don’t care
about getting dirty.
You’re so piggy
I love you piggy--
because you’re a pig.
What’s not to love?
--Sadie H.
Ode to Unicorns
I love you, Unicorns!
You are pretty.
I love that you have all the colors
on your body.
I love you so much
that you let me have
my birthday.
You are so sparkly

I love that you let people
have you on t.v.
I love you!
Can I marry you?
--Briza L.
Ode to Blue
I walk in the store
and I see you.
You are sitting there
waiting to be taken.
Your color is powerful
and bright.
You come in different shades
and sizes
When I take you
and color
you sometimes run out
of ink, then
you’re gone.
