Puzzle Poems

Creating puzzle poems is just the opportunity we need to help us learn and use descriptive words. First graders are very familiar with the writing process and the following are some samples of their published work.  Can you read the poem and figure out the answer?

Yellow and Black

by Libby

Buzzing in the morning

An insect

See-through wings

Yellow and black stripes

Sting

Ouch

Not fun!

Night Creatures

by Seamus

Afraid of owls

Live in house walls

Cats eat them

Squeal at night

Brown and white fur

Squeak, squeak!

Night Hunters

by Matthew

Sharp teeth

Hunts for deer at night

Do not bother or it will charge

Wild animal

Yells to the moon

Likes Bones

by Lana

Digs in dirt

Can be a pet

Fun to play fetch with 

Cats are scared of them

Woof, woof!

Colorful
by Elena 

    Pointy
    Wrapped in paper
    Made out of wax
    Comes in a box
    Stinky smell
    Color, color

Red and Black
by Julibel 

        Flies in the air
        Gives people good luck
        Munches on leaves
        Has six legs
        Loves people
        Fly, fly, fly away
