This Week's Poem for Spelling

A Friend
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.

by Breena Park


This is a beautiful poem which talks about the importance of friends. Please review the words which are in italic, as well as review the meaning of the words - many of which are new vocabulary for the students in our class.
Thanks! Mrs. Johnson
