Madison's Yellow Poem

Madison's latest language assignment...it was based on a book called "Hailstones and Halibut Bones".  She was to describe a color as if she were telling a blind person.  She, of course, picked her favorite color:

Yellow is a BANANA freshly picked,

 in your mouth.

Yellow is the giant cracked BELL

ringing on Sunday morning.

Yellow is the JOY you have

when you win the first basketball game.

Yellow is the warm POPCORN on your hand

right from the microwave.

Yellow is the homade LEMON PIE you have

going into your mouth.

Yellow is the SUN on a hot

 Alaskan morning.

Yellow is the grainy SAND from Idaho

going through your fingers.

Yellow is the zest of a LEMON

in your Pepsi.

Yellow is the scent of a LILLY

from the big green field.

Yellow is the HAPPINESS of being alive.

Didn't she do a good job?!?!  I'm really proud of her!  She wrote it all by herself.  From a proud mom...Rhonda

sweet poem, Madison!

That is one of the best poems I've read in a LONG time, Madison! I love poems that give you a visual image and a real SENSE of what the author is describing. GREAT JOB!

Love you both,
~Leah
