Poems about Place

I read Lake Isle of Innisfree by WB Yeats and asked the students to write poems about their ideal place to live. Any wild thing was allowed!

Jericho A
K

I live in a house
In a garden
There is a flower circus
The doors are automatic

Ange
K

My house is colorful
Green and purple
Everywhere is made
Of bubble gum
And butter mints
And roll-ups

Carson
K

I live underwater
I can get crabs
I get shark rides
Getting blasted
Out of the water
By a whale
Who is my pet

Mia
K

My house is made
Of leaves
It grows
And gets bigger

Trinity
K

I want to live
In a tent on the beach
My tent is a rainbow
We go in the water
And play with a shovel

Michael W.
K

I live on Jupiter
I jump from star
To star
I have a space house
It sounds like the moon is asleep
I eat soup on Jupiter

Aaliyah J
K

I live in a tree house
In the trunk
Like a squirrel
I sleep on my couch
Made of acorns

Jalen T
K

I’m living in a hotel
It’s fun and you
Can sleep
You can have a party
And not clean it up
You can relax

Brad H
K

I live in a tree
I have to climb up
I sleep in a bird’s nest
I eat apples
From the branches
I pick leaves off of the tree


Arinola A
1ST

I want to live
In a flower
Because it is
So so so so
Beautiful
And butterflies
Can visit me
My house is
The cutes one of all

Sentwali N
1ST

I would live in Detroit
I would live in a hotel
But different
I would have a wife
I’m going to own
My huge house
I would have a hot tub
And water rides
And games

Tykira F
1ST

I live in a big house
With a refrigerator
And I live in New York
And want a big scream T.V.
In my living room

Cameron
1ST

I will live in a hole
With spiders
It is cool
I like it
I eat cat
And dog
And bugs
And bats

Tyree P
1ST

I’m going to live
In the subway
My house always
Moves
We live on
The Green line.

Bryant
1ST

I wish I could
Live in a tree
I eat acorns
I climb out of holes
I have lots of cats

Joshua D
1ST

I will live
In the dirt
Worms come out
And I eat them
I have to dig tunnels
