Ashton, I am not a fan of the word you used to describe the monkey. Please try another "d" word.
Emma, I would guess that your topic is shopping! Great job~
Flipping upside down,
Gripping the bars,
High jumps wherever you look

Ashton,
You forgot F.

Matthew, your poem made me feel like I was at McDonald's. Is ABC's of fast-food your topic. I think you spelled thru wrong and cheeseburger is one word.
Ashton,
That's really good, but you forgot the F in the Alphabet.

Amimals
Animals doing their unusual things,
Bears protecting their bear cubs by roaring,
Cheetahs running as fast as cars,
Deer running from predators,
Elephants gripping peanuts in their trunks,
Fun-loving pandas eating bamboo,
Gorillas banging on their chest,
Horses stomping their feet,
In the jungle monkeys swinging from vine to vine,
Jaguars loving their polka-dots,
Kangaroo babies hiding in their mamas pouch,
Lions cruising in zoos,
Millions of ants ruining picnics,
Newly born baby giraffes cuddling up next to their mammas,
Octopus giving intimidating hugs,
Platypuses smelling like semi-aquatic animals,
Quails cracking their eggs in their nests,
Rats creeping through pipes,
Sleek snakes sliver in the bayou,
Turtles swimming and swallowing squid,
Under the moon the wolf howls,
Vultures picking up baby mice,
Whales swimming furiously while barnacles stick on their skin,
Xxtra special pets hanging close to their owners,
Yawning sloths hanging upside down from trees,
Zebras not knowing which color is the stripe.

ABCs of Ice Cream
A delicious taste fills my mouth when I eat ice cream.
Beware of the sweet, tempting taste will make you want more.
Chocolate chips sprinkled on my ice cream.
Deliciousness filling my happy taste buds.
Everything I devour is so yummy.
Fried food is nothing compared to this.
Goodness of cookie dough ice cream on my tongue.
Hoping for more.
I try new flavors.
Just perfect for a hot summer day.
Keeping cool is my main goal, and ice cream helps me do it.
Loving the cool, refreshing dessert.
Mint chocolate ice cream is so refreshing.
Never wanting this experience to end.
Ordering my favorite flavor.
Perfect mixes of perfect flavors.
Quiet is not what my taste buds want to be.
Raspberries are on the list of many toppings.
Strawberry-chocolate is always my favorite flavor.
The parlor if filled with hungry ice cream eaters.
Up in my head, a brain freeze starts.
Very tasty treat,
What can compare to this wonderful dessert?
X-tra ice cream for me.
Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy.
Zero ice cream is left, and the bowl is licked clean!
