Poems inspired by the story Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Night
Night, night
In the dark.
Stars so bright
And brilliant, too.

By Jacqui

The Moon
The moon is bright.
It is so white.
It is high in the sky.
It is big and nice.

By Terence

Midnight
It is midnight and cold.
I hear hoot, hoot!
It's a great horned owl.
We stop.
We look up and say, "Brrrrrrr!"
The owl says, "Hoot, hoot!"
It flies away.

By Jamie

One Snowy Day
One snowy day
Elisha and I went to the woods,
To go hunting for an owl.
We found one!
It was fun.

By Amy

The Racoon
Look over there!
A racoon!
Let's see what it does.
It ran up the tree,
Jumped to another
And was gone!

By Dalton

 

Snowfall
Snowfall flitters
Breezes blow
Children laughing
Bells are low
Children playing
Dreaming about snowmen
And grownups are reading to them.

By Jeremiah

The Moon is Out
The moon is out.
Who might be out? Whooo whooo!
Pa picks a route.
We peer at a deer.
Whooo whooo, owl flies away.
We will see you another day.

By Seth

The Mystery Moon

On March 17, 1876, the moon shined as bright as the sun.
It looked like the sun in the morning, but it was night.
In 1987, the moon was normal and the people cheered.

By Aaron

Mouse in the House

Mice are not hairy.
They do not bite.
So do not kill mice.
They only eat cheese.

By Jacob

A Snowy Night

On a snowy night, I saw a moon.
The moon was so bright it looked like a light.
It was so quiet that you could hear a peep
Out of a sheep.

The snow crunched over my toes.
Then that night I saw an owl.
The owl said, "Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo."
And the time was right to go home.

By Elisha

The Splendor Moon

The moon is very pretty.
It sparkles in the night sky.
Like a diamond in the sky.
It may have holes in it that we can not see,
But it is still very pretty to me.

By Cassandra

Deer Hunt
By Dalton

My dad took me hunting and we walked to the deer house. I waited for a long time. Finally a deer came. My dad kept asking me if I was sure I wanted to shoot. I did.

Walk in the Park
By Autumn

My mom my brother and I went to the park and walked around 9 times, which is, I don't know how many miles. I had a good time. You would want to be there too. It was so much fun. I swang on the swingset. We took pictures. And we saw a fox behind the train track. When the train was almost gone, we took a picture of the last car. We have it at home somewhere. If I can find it, I will bring it to school, and a picture of my baby brother, Jesse, too. It will be a big picture.

My dad and I were walking in the woods. We saw a field mouse. We saw a rabbit. It ran away. It ran fast! We saw a bird and we saw a snail. We brought our fishing poles to go fishing. I caught a five pound fish. We ate my fish and it was good. After that, my sister, Savannah and I went walking in the woods. We saw a dead snake and our baby puppies loved it. We saw a frog and another field mouse. Then we started home and Savannah and I saw an owl.
