Nicole’s Poetry

Red

Red is cardinals
flying to eat seeds outside our window
singing, whistling, chirping pretty songs.
Red is the smell of strawberries,
raspberries and roses.
It is the taste of creamy red velvet cake.
Red makes me feel happy,
loved
and full of energy.

America

Freedom to choose
my religion,
learn about God.
Feeling safe here,
able to take walks.
Just a few things that
make this country great.

Breaking Through

My superpower is my smile.
Big and pretty,
shining with joy and happiness.
Like a beam of sun
breaking through the clouds.
My friend Devin has
the same superpower.
Together we make hundreds of
dog biscuits for BCDB.
Smiling all the while.

I Am Smiley

A smile is big, bright and cheerful.
A smile is when I am on our boat
on the waters of Lake Michigan.
A smile is when I take walks
with my sister.
A smile is happiness riding my bike
around the neighborhood.
A smile makes me feel good,
great and joyful all at once.
A smile brings joy to the world.
A smile is my nickname,
I am Smiley.

Smile

I’m concerned for others,
I help where I can.
I love animals,
they give me joy.
I always volunteer
with a big smile.
