Fish in a tree poem
Fish in a tree, Fish in a tree,
Please share with me,
A tale of Ally who can’t read,
And Shay, with undesirable greed.
Mr Daniels with his kind heart,
And Albert, who is very smart.
Keisha has baking skills,
While Ally’s dad does military drills.
Jessica, oh she loves her friend.
Why, the characters just never end.
When she thought her brain was just a mess,
She turned out to be good at chess.
As her tests were now fun and games,
Ally’s life was no longer rain.

This is my Fish In A Tree story poem. I came up with the words for the characters as I was sleeping, and am now entered in a poetry competition because of it! Probably not with this poem, though. Meanwhile, this is my poem we're talking about, not some sheet of paper with rhymes on it! Since the poem is based on Fish In A Tree, I'll probably need to explain it. Ally is a girl with undetected dyslexia and Shay is her bully, who wants nothing more than being Miss Queenie and having money. Mr. Daniels is her teacher who teaches her to play chess and helps her read and write. Albert is Ally's Scientific friend who inherits (even though they're not related, or are they) the brains of Albert (haha) Einstien! Keisha is Ally's other friend who yearns to be a baker and try's to support Albert through countless times struggling at bully's feet. Ally's dad is deployed to work with the Navy and comes back only a few times a year. Jessica is Shay's "friend" (honestly just a slave for Shay) and has at the least 7 friendship bracelets! (All from Shay). Ally thought she was dumb, a waste of time and space itself when she was just as smart as Albert in reality. As Mr. Daniels trained her up, Ally got better and better and better at chess. Her tests were getting turned into puzzles for her dyslexia and Ally now had the tiniest spark of hope. Hope you enjoyed this new blog post and wish for more.
Peace!
Hello Allie I am Jackson your poem is great it really captures the whole story (that you have read) in a few sentences. I love how you explain it because If I was a kid that had no idea you totally just spoiled the whole story. but anyway you just get only the bear minimum of info you need to explain the whole story, plus i love the way you put in a little comedy in in a few times.

Thank you for your kind thoughts.
DeleteHi ailie, you have an amazing talent for writing poems and I love how you explained your poem really well. My brother taught me how to play chess, do you know how to play? But how does the poem link with the story?
ReplyDeleteI do know how to play chess. It links with the story as I have tried to explain the characters in rhyme. Meanwhile thank you for saying these nice things.
DeleteYou've written a fabulous poem Ailie. You have explained everything very thoroughly. Well done!
