I Have a Gourd

We have been exploring poetry in reading and have just begun to write our own poems. After using our five senses to observe a variety of gourds, we started to turn those observations into poems.

I Had a Gourd

By Jasiu and Kevin

I had a gourd

It didn’t have a smell

But it was lumpy, bumpy and plumpy.

I had a gourd

It didn’t have a lot of colors

But it was very, very big.

I had a gourd

It didn’t have a curvy stem

But it did have a big face.

My gourd had all these things,

But now it doesn’t

Have any of these things

Because I gave it back!

Can you figure out which gourd the poem is about?
