The third and fourth grade students at Childs Elementary in Bloomington, IN worked enthusiastically to write quality poems about nature, seasons, important people, feelings, and other aspects of their lives. Many students created artwork to accompany their poems. The inspiration for much of the poetry found in Voices in Verse comes from being outdoors, reading books, listening to music, reading famous poets, and listening to the rhythms of the world. We hope you enjoy reading Voices in Verse as much as we loved writing it!
