Cafe At The Beach

I remember when I went to a cafe at the beach

I had French fries with ketchup

Being at the restaurant was great 

It was a sunny day

I remember sitting outside

Dining on my fries

Happy, beautiful time

Being with my friends

I remember the wind on my face 

And how it felt to be at the beach 

Relaxing with my snack and drink

Enjoying the ocean breeze

Simile Poem

Rain is like a fresh start

It cleans away the dust 

Making way for new life

It opens up the heart

A dream is like a fantasy at night

A mystical insight

A creative world of senses

In my crazy mind

Haiku: Sundays

Sundays calm and fun

I am relaxed and content

Having a cozy day

 There once was a panda named Sue 

She loved to go to the zoo

Her favorite thing to eat

Was really quite sweet

She liked a rich stew

Mom 

Hard Working

Raring, Daring, Caring

Never Gives Up

Mother

 Panda

Big, Soft

Sitting, Looking, Resting

Bear with Caring Eyes

Plush

 Color Poem: Blue

Blue is the color of the sky on a beautiful day

Blue is how I feel when I am under pressure 

Blue sounds like water running over a mountain 

Blue tastes like a blueberry scone 

Blue smells like a rainy day

Blue looks like a sparkling waterfall

 Christmas Alliteration Poem

I'm excited about Christmas.

Carols, cookies, candy canes

Cute elves creating

Cards, cake, come together

Christmas can carefully connect

 Autobiographical Poem

Sophia

Eager, bodacious, math whiz

Daughter of Elizabeth and Zack

Who loves chocolate

Who feels happy about eating

Who needs men and oatmeal

Who gives hard answers

Who fears candy canes 

Who'd like to see Nigeria

Who dreams of a taste of life

Student of radical ideas

Sophia

 I am an original

I pretend not to care 

I feel certain each time I enter a room 

I touch anything that is easy to get 

I worry about random things 

I cry for my Dad

I am not a mess

 I Am Poem by Sophia Nelson

I am Sophia.

I understand that I am a tough woman.

I say help me.

I dream of a better life.

I hope many people are great at hearing me.

I am rare. 

 What can you do today that you couldn't do a year ago?

I can letter board for much longer. This makes me happy. Letter boarding lets me communicate more independently. 

 Write about a skill or talent you have that serves you well.

I can understand a lot of things. People don't expect that.  I am very smart. 

What is something that sparks your curiosity and inspires your interest? 

I am interested in science. Neuroscience is fascinating. It is a really hard idea to comprehend.  It is fun to learn. I like getting carried away in it. 

 Write about something that always makes you smile no matter what.

My panda always makes me smile. It never changes. I feel comforted when I look at it.  She is a big, fluffy bear.

 What about today made you smile?

My workout made me smile. It was fun and energizing.  I ran on the treadmill and did squats.  My favorite part was doing hard jumps.

 I'm at my happiest when I am at home in my room eating cake.

 What compliment do you want the most? Give it to yourself. 

I want to be complimented on my self motivation.  Way to go Sophia!
