Pop-Corn
Pop! Pop!--Poppetty-pop!
Shake and rattle and rattle and shake
The golden grains as they bounce and break
To fluffy puffiness--Poppetty-pop!
Bursting and banging the popper's top!
Poppetty-pop!
Pop! Pop!
The yellow kernels, oh, see them grow
White as cotton or flakes of snow!
Pop! Pop!
O-ho, how they frolic and fly about
And turn themselves suddenly inside out!
Pop-pop-poppetty! Pop-pop-pop!
The popper's full and we'll have to stop;
Pile the bowl with the tempting treat,
Children, come, it is time to eat!
ACTIVITY: Make some Pop Corn with your Family.
Then think of the descriptive words Evaleen Stein uses in this poem. Make a list (poppet-pop, golden grains...).
Think about YOUR favorite food. Draw a picture of it. Write a poem using very descriptive words. When you read your poem to your family, it will make them HUNGRY!
