Weird Animals

Once there was a bird.
He only said one word.
His name was Cuckoo,
and the word was boo-boo.

And then there was a bat.
He had a red hat.
And he ate a rat.

The Autumn Sounds

The birds are flying in the breeze.
The leaves are shaking in the trees.

The mole
is digging his hole.

The skink
is taking his drink.

The deer
is sitting right here.

The squirrel
is going to hurl
acorns at the girl.

And I
am looking at the sky.

The Bass Who Was out of Gas

Once there was a bass.
He was out of gas.
And he broke his glass.

He had a red hat.
And he had a baseball bat.

The Blogging Hog

Once there was a hog.
He liked to write on his blog.
His house was in a log.
And he looked like a dog.

The Man Who Lived on Bread

Once there was a man.
He had a red can.
He ate bread.
He stored it in his bed.
And his hair was red.

A Poem for Olivia's Birthday

Poems are very hard to write.
I worked on it all day and night.
But I just have one thing to say:
Olivia, have the best birthday!

Ant's Crazy Day

Once upon a time there was an ant.
He had a brown pant
and an aunt.

Then he pulled out his tooth
in a telephone booth.

His hair was red,
and he slept in a blue bed.

And he drank
Frank.

Poezie vanuit Groep 4

Er was eens een schip
Die leek op een lip
Toen kwam er een storm
En ze zagen een worm

"Help!" riep de kapitein.
"Ik moet snel naar Albert Heijn!"
Daar kan ik schuilen tussen buiken
En morgen kan ik me verborgen.

[Elliot's English Translation]

Once there was a ship
It looked like a lip
Then there came a storm
And they saw a worm.

"Help!" cried the captain.
"I have to go to Albert Heijn (grocery store)!"
There I can hide between the bellies
And tomorrow I can be hidden.

The Story of Star Wars, According to Elliot

Once upon a time there was a spaceship. r2d2 and c3po were in the spaceship. Darth Vader told the stormtroopers to surround them. The stormtroopers blasted in. They almost won. Two got out: R2D2 and C3PO.

They went out to a dry land. C3PO said "Let's go this way." R2D2 said "Let's go this way." They split apart. R2D2 went out to a cave. There were little monsters who captured robots; they brought R2D2 to a transporter.

C3PO said, "There's a transporter!" He found R2D2 back. They also found Luke. And Ben Kenobi.

They went to Luke's house. They got a message from Princess Leia. She needed Ben Kenobi.

Luke said, "Why did my father die?"

Ben Kenobi said, "Your father was a Jedi knight."

Luke said, "I want to be a Jedi knight." Just then someone called him. His aunt and his uncle. Ben Kenobi showed Luke something: a speeder. Luke went to a different place. It was very dry. There were bad guys. One had a big thing that hits you. C3PO broke one arm. Luke fell over. Just then, Ben Kenobi showed up.

Ben Kenobi showed Luke a different thing -- two different things -- a light saber and a Jedi helmet. They went with a speeder to where Darth Vader was. They said to the stormtroopers, "Just go along with your work." The speeder repeated it, "Just go along with your work."

Next they went to a restaurant where they met two other people: one person and one wookie. Han Solo and Chewbacca the Wookie. The stormtroopers tried to shoot them. Luckily, Han Solo had a space-fighter. They went out to space. They fought ships -- space-ships. Finally they won.
