YELLOW SQUASH
Yellow Squash,
Yellow Squash,
What can you be?
I am a vegetable
to go with your turkey.
I've been working on some poems with color words lately. This is one of the seasonal poems. Can you try writing a poem about your favorite color today? Have fun writing and exploring colors. For a fun twist what happens if you mix up the colors, so you have a green sun, a blue elephant, a red banana? What is the craziest mix-up you can think of?

GUESS WHO?
Who is out on Halloween night
riding a broom in the pale moon light?
Who sits behind on the witch's broom
and holds on tight with every ZOOM?
Who purrs a loud kitty keen,
to wish us all
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
Now, I'm going to try this poem with an echo. Let's see if it will work? This way, it becomes a poem for two voices. The echo is a repeat by students, and everyone joins in on the last line.

I hope you have a great Halloween. Today's poem is a riddle poem. Can you write your own riddles for some of the things Halloween? My first thought was a jack-o-lantern.
Do not think
it is hog wash.
Before he changed
he was an orange squash.
I had to use my rhyming dictionary for that one. There aren't a lot a great words to rhyme with squash. Hey, just have fun. We're not trying for Shakespearean sonnets here. Enjoy your holiday and make poetry a part of it.

FARMER'S MARKET
squash
corn
fresh and sweet
at the farmers market
healthy foods to eat.
Have you ever gone to a farmers market? What kinds of things did you see? Can you write a poem about fresh food today? Have fun.
