This is a poem about sweet-gum-balls, which are those little spikey balls that fall from trees. (No, it's not a gumball.)It's written as if I am 5 years old. It's justa rough draft, so tell me what you think! Thanks!:D It's a cool day in fall As I walk down the hall, I hear my father call me "Abby come help!" Sprinting out the back door I stop dead in my tracks Sweet-gum-balls are everywhere! You know I'm not happy Not at all! There's nothin' sweet about 'em No matter what you think They're prickly and spikey And hurt my little feet! I had to rake those things For more than an hour 12 I think! Making things worse, My brother wouldn't help His stupid little back Just had to hurt! Finally I got done "Yes!" I thought Time for fun Time to run Time to play So I walk away Ouuuuucccchhhh!!! Sweet-Gum-Balls: 1 Abby: None
