The following are poems by the 3rd Grade Junior Great Books class.

I Am A Dog by Melissa K.

I am a dog.
I am happiest when I get a treat.
When this happens I wag my tail, gobble it down, and bark very loud.
And I feel like a puppy again.

I Am A Soccer Ball by Joseph J.

I am a soccer ball.
I am happiest when somebody kicks me.
When this happens, I think I might go into the soccer goal.
And I feel very excited.

I Am Fire by David P.

I am fire.
I am happiest when I begin to get hot.
When this happens I burst into flames.
And I feel hot, firey and wild.

I Am Water by Robbie M.

I am water.
I am happiest when I flow in a small, fast stream.
When this happens I rush free from a lake or pond.
And I feel joyful and rushing.

I Am A Boulder by Giorgio C.

I am a boulder.
I am happiest when I roll down the mountain side.
When this happens I am indestructible and dangerous.
And I feel immortal and like nothing can stop me from rolling.

I Am A Guinea Pig by Megan M

I am a guinea pig.
I am happiest when my owners scratch my furry head.
When this happens my teeth chatter because it tickles.
And I feel comfortable and sleepy.

I Am Fire by Emily S.

I am fire.
I am happiest when I burn, crackle and make sparks.
When this happens I burn down fields, valleys, houses and forests.
And I feel powerful and uncontrollable.

I Am Luke Skywalker by Joseph J.

I am Luke Skywalker.
I am happiest when my father, Darth Vader says, ”Luke I am your father”.
When this happens I think I see my father again.
And I feel very, very happy to see him.

I Am A Dust Bunny by Anna B.

I am a dust bunny.
I am happiest when I am floating around bothering people.
When this happens I come out of hiding under the bed and behind the shelves.

And I feel mischievous, powerful and sneaky.
