On Cinco de Mayo
mi familia has a fiesta.
We sing and dance
and eat lots of food.
Tia Margarita brings tamales,
Tia Anna brings the enchiladas.
Mama and I and my sisters
make the tacos and burritos.
My papa plays his guitar.
Tio brings a piñata.
All the children
take turns swinging the bat
to hit the piñata
and to grab the dulces
that come flying out.
I hope your Cinco de Mayo
is a sweet as ours.
Today's poem is a free verse poem. I've used several Spanish words in the poem. Can you find them? Your challenge for today is to write a poem using a word from another language. Have fun writing.
Celebrate!
