Bilingual Poem: La Mariposa, written by the kids in Ted's class

La Mariposa


Escrito por los estudiantes del Segundo y Tercer Grado, salón 5

Floating, floating…

Bright, light

A masterpiece of color

Ugly eater

Making its blanket

Making its prison

Finally free!

Flying from rose to buttercup

In search of sweet dew drops

Giving life

Giving its life

Giving beauty

Innocent

Playful

Floating, floating…

-----------------------------------


Flotando, flotando

Brillante, liviana

Una obra de vivos colores

Feo comelón

Haciendo su cobija

Su propio prisionero

Al fin ¡Libre!

Volando de rosa a margarita

En busca de gotitas dulces

Dando la vida

Dando su vida

Dando su belleza

Inocente

Juguetón

Flotando, flotando…

    A beautiful poem in English. Floats better in Espanol! Good job.

    Your poem is awesome.

    Can you fly a plane?

    Dear Will,
    I thought when you said you smelled like poopy diapers I laughed.
