Poetry

Here's a poem Nathan wrote a few days ago in class. He joined the 4th grade after the midwinter break (long story) & things are going well for him there. Knock on wood! They are currently in a "The Human Being & The Animal Kingdom" block.

A Salmon (by Nathan)

How big you are
In the rivers of Alaska
From where you go
Down the river
Over the rocks
Up the stream.

Leaping above the water
Until you reach the ocean
And back, back, back again
To come to where
You were born,
And then you go
In a different direction.
