~ Sensational Fall Poems ~

We all have fond memories of the sights, sounds, smells, and good food that come with the different seasons.  With this in mind, our 2nd grade class wrote fall poems related to the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Fall

When I …
hear leaves crunching under my feet,
taste apples and candy,
smell turkey at Thanksgiving,
see pumpkins and people in their Halloween outfits,
touch candy and pumpkins,
I know it’s fall!
