After a sizzling summer and fierce monsoon season, it's finally crisp and cold in Tucson! To celebrate, here are five poems about weather and the seasons written by participants in our Writing the Community and Kids Create programs:
Thunder
White rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
Dark rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
Heavy rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
Hot rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
Ice rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
No rain
bloop, bloop, bloop
Thunder rain
boom, boom, boom
Scary rain
boom, boom, boom
Peaceful rain
oww, oww, oww
Soft rain
nice, nice, nice
Wind rain
too cold, too cold, too cold
-Alexander Williams
Where do birds go when it rains?
Do they go inside trees?
Do they sit on trees until it stops?
Do they go to a far land called “World of Birds”? Can they go with
Alice to Wonderland?
Can birds fly 100 miles in the rain without stopping? Can birds
really fly or is it just the wind?
Sometimes you don’t see them
but they see you.
-Anyssa Valenzuela
Weather
If I could be weather,
I would be summer because
it is hot.
If this class were a car,
I would be the tire so I
could sing the wheels on the car
go round and round.
-Felipe Rodriguez
Seasons’ Cycle Dream
Winter is the season first in the year,
It’s the time of year for snow to fall down.
I should go outside with my warm snow gear,
And build snowmen with smiles, not one frown.
The next season is wonderful, fresh spring.
Wonderful means the colors that I see,
And fresh means those plants, and that yummy grown thing!
Flowers get pollinated by a bee.
A season named summer is coming next.
It’s time to go to the beaches to swim,
And I will sit on the sand and will text.
Anybody can have fun, her or him.
Next comes fall, then winter again comes last.
Halloween is to come, got some costumes!
There is a witch with a bad spell to cast!
Now I am going to the scary tombs!
I wake up and see I was switch dreaming.
Switching seasons while the sun has not beamed?!
-Aleena Bafiyath
WINTER
The winter winds were harsh to the weary
traveler. The Ice seemed to get deeper every time.
He made himself change into dry clothes and dry
off, he made himself hot cocoa. He turned on the
T.V. and went to Netflix and watched “Greece.”
Winter days so calm.
