Grasshoppers by Paul Fleischman
Grasshoppers
Sap's rising
Ground's warning
Grasshoppers are Grasshoppers are
hatching out hatching out
Autumn-laid eggs
splitting
Young stepping
into spring
Grasshoppers Grasshoppers
hopping hopping
high
Grassjumpers Grassjumpers
jumping jumping
far
Vaulting from
leaf to leaf
stem to stem leaf to leaf
plant to plant stem to stem
Grass-
leapers leapers
Grass-
bounders bounders
Grass-
springers springers
Grass-
soarers soarers
Leapfrogging Leapfrogging
longjumping longjumping
grasshoppers. grasshoppers.

Jehad,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've enjoyed our lessons.
I'm especially glad that you took the time to work on a poem on your own.
Keep up the good work; the only way to improve is to practice, practice, practice. :-)
