Caitlin Krastek (age 6): Four poems

Silent E

is quiet.

It just sits there

at the end

of the word.

Semi-Colon

It’s not fair

that we can’t use them

in first grade  

Mushrooms

Smooth tops

Mice hide

underneath them:

umbrellas to keep

out the rain  

The Alligator

Swims in icky swamps;

it opens its jaws

and chomps

and chomps
