Malia's Poems

Malia's homework was to write a poem based on the groupings of rhyming words given by the teacher. I thought she might need some help, but all I had to tell her was to put just on line of the poem per written line. She came up with the lines themselves completely alone. She only needed to write one, but she enjoyed it enough to write two. Not bad for first grade.

The Earth
Birds fly in the sky.
The wind blows by.
The sun is bright.
The night is a big sight.
Look what I found!
I live in the ground.

Outside
I am flying.
I am crying.
It is night.
I am filled with fright.
The birds sound,
all around.
