I have never posted any type of poetry attempts, but this is what I wrote after helping students find their classrooms as they arrived for the first day of school.
Shiny floors,
new displays,
pencils sharpened,
kids on their way.
Smiling faces,
new hair-do’s,
what will I wear?
It’s the first day of school!
Writing From The Heart 
I’m feeling your first day.. Keep the poems coming…
Bonnie
Strong images from your poem.
Yea for the first day and for venturing into a new genre. Looking forward to reading more slice/poems.
That’s a great poem! Today my class (half of them were my class last year) kept saying that everything looked new. I had to tell them it was just the shiny floor. 🙂
Woo hoo for stepping out and publishing your poetry!!! Did you share it with your class?
Thank you. I also wrote this in my writer’s notebook so I can share it with students later on.
Obviously what you observed just all came together. Nice poem:)
Thanks for sharing your poem! I’ve been venturing into that genre again too – it’s been a long time. I’ve got a new shiny floor in my room – but I haven’t even thought about what to wear on my first day! (in 2 days)
I love it! Perhaps I will try this tomorrow with my new writers on our first day!
i can def. relate to this poem!! thanks for sharing it!
