Today’s poems are a series of Today My Name is poems written during our Fall 2011 season by teammates at Maple Elementary School:

Today My Name Is

By Bailey A.

Today my name is Chocolate Chip

I feel sweet and playful

Yesterday my name was Kentucky Fried Chicken

I heard people liked me

I found I was warm and crummy

Tomorrow my name will be Ticklish.

I will forget what I was yesterday.

I will remember that I did not like my name yesterday.

Today My Name Is

By Tya N.

Today my name is Soccer.

I feel fast.

I pretend to be a ball.

Yesterday my name was Basketball.

I heard a ball go “whoosh”.

I found everyone wanted to bounce me.

Tomorrow my name will be Volleyball.

I will forget that I was a ball.

I will remember that everyone likes to bounce me!

Today My Name Is

By Jason W.

Today my name is Airplane

I feel good when I soar through the sky

I pretend I am a bird

Yesterday my name was duck

I heard people chatting

I found a piece of break in the water

Tomorrow my name will be snail

I will forget how to talk snail language

I will remember to breath

Today My Name Is

By Valeria G.

Today my name is Volleyball

Because I feel fast and happy

I pretend I’m going in slow motion and singing

Yesterday my name was Soccer Ball

I heard a swish when I was rolling down the grass

I found that I was popular and cool.

Tomorrow my name will be Football

And they will pass me back and forth

I will forget I was a ball

I will remember I’m awesome and cool.
