A Friend
Poetry
 

 

     At our class meeting in January, the student discussion focused on friends and friendships. The children talked at length about the qualities and characteristics of a good friend. After the meeting, each student wrote an "alphabet acrostic poem" describing in their words what a friend means to each of them. Some of the poems the students wrote are shared below.

A Friend
By Ashley

A friend reminds me what's for breakfast at school,
Being your self a around you,
Comforts me when I'm sad,
Do things we both like,
Explain things if I'm if I'm sick on the phone,
Fun all the time,
Gives each other letters,
Helps me,
Immediately answers me,
Jolly,
Kind,
Listens to me,
Meets me at school,
Nice,
Obey each other,
Put me right on track,
Quite funny,
Remains me if I forget what day it is,
Sharing,
Together forever,                                             
Understands me,
Visits me,
Work together,
Xciting
Yells to me to cheer me on,
Z
ip of excitement.
 

 

 

A Friend
By: Brad

A friend helps me when I'm sad,
Believes in me,
Can help me,
Defends me,
Eats by me,
Friendly,
Great at doing nice things for me,
Helps me with my poem,
Is nice to me,
Just plays with me,
King of friends,
Lifts me up,
Makes me happy,
No put downs,
Only says nice things,
Plays with me,
Quiet around me,
Runs with me,
Says good things,                                             
Teaches me,
Usually is near me,
Very kind,
Weird sometimes,
X-rays me,
Yo-yos with me,
Zooms me up to happiness

Excellent at standing up for me,

Judging is not what they do to me,
Knowing they will never hurt me,
Laughing always,
Memories friends always have,
Nice to me always,
Opening a path to friendship,
Person who is like me,
Questioning me to get to know me,
Rights to be with me,
Stays with me forever,
Trusts me,
Understands me,
Visits me,
Wants to be with me,
X's me ever out her group,
Your friend always likes you,
Zips me back up.

 

 

A Friend
By Jared

A Friend is a person who helps me,

Brings me to movies,

Comes over to my house,

Does homework with me,

Eats over,

Fixes things for me,

Goes out to eat,

Helps teach you new video games,

Is helpful,

Jig fishes with me,

Kicks footballs back and forth,

Likes to play card games,

Misses I when I are gone,

Nice to me,

Offers to apologizes to you,

Plays board games,

Quiet for me when I read,

Races with me,

Sticks together on projects,

Tickles me,

Updates me at school,

Vicks my throat when it is soar,

Wakes me up on time,

X-rays you if you broke a bone,

Yo-yos with me,

Zigzags with me.

Like a friend that is a close friend.

A Friend
By Makenzie

Apologizes if someone on is hurt inside,
Be a really good friend,
Care for each other,
Do anything to help a friend,          
Erase bullying,
Find new kids to play with,
Generous and grateful,
Help one another,
Invite someone over,
Just be kind,
Kids are all different,
Like each other for who they are,
Make each other feel better,
Never tells a lie,
On the play ground ask someone to play,
Protects me,
Quit being mean,
Roomers are bad,
Say nice things,
Take someone to my house,
Useful,
Very helpful,
Will help support me,
X-cited to see me
Your a great friend is something to say,
Zany.

 

 

A Friend
By: Matthew Sl.

Accepts who I am,
Believes me,
Can help me do work,
Does not roll his eyes at me,
Extra fun,
Fun times together,
Grabs my hand to help me up when I'm down,
He stands up for me,
I can ask for advice on a paper,
Just be my friend,
Keeps me have my head up at all times,
Let's me play a game,
Makes me warm inside,
Never does drugs,
Oh good you get to come to my house,
Pats me on the back if I get 100% on a paper,
Quiet when my mom is coming,
Reminds me to always have fun,
Says to do the best you can do,  
Thank you for being a friend,
Understands what I do,
Visits with me,
Will you come to my house to play,
X-plains the problem to me,
Yells to cheer me on,
Zip over to my house.

A Friend

Always a good listener,   
Behaves super,
Calling to say " hi" when I'm sick,
Does nice things for others,
Encourages me,
Friends don't do put-downs,
Goes the extra mile,
Helps each other with papers,
If I'm in the dumps a friend will help me,
Jokester,
Kind people,
Laughs at funny things,
Makes me laugh and smile,
Not impolite,
Opportunity to have someone I trust,
Plays games with me,
Quite friendly,
Resting me and my property,
Spends time with me,
Together we can get something hard done,
Unique,
Vivid imagination,
Works hard to help me,
X-mas means presents to and from friends,
You can always count on them,
Zoo time is fantastic.
