3. Poetry: Clouds Puffy Cotton cuddly Cute and soft Swiftly in the sky Clouds are my favorite things I like to stare at clouds Clouds are special for people and sun. By: Anita & Debora Clouds Puffy Cotton cuddly Cute and soft Swiftly in the sky Clouds are my favorite things I like to stare at clouds Clouds are special for people and sun. By: Anita & Debora Where the Sidewalk Ends There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measure and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow. And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrow go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends. By: Shel Silverstein Wind Dude called wind, Breezed through town, Blew right in, Blew me down... Liked to squall, Liked to blow, Liked to push, Liked to flow... Dude called wind, Came to prove, Change of pressure, Makes air move, Wind left town, With a gust, Dude called wind, Strong and tough, Dude called wind, Breezed through town, Nearly blew, The whole place down!
