I did the PSA's first line poetry project with two classes of fourth graders - here are some of their fabulous poems:

My heart is like a singing bird
It is always singing
A person comes and admires me
Because my heart is a beautiful thing
It is like a singing bird.

My heart is like a singing bird
It is very shy
But when it feels like someone is nice
It starts to sing a tune
It is like a singing bird

My heart is like a singing bird
It is delicate and fragile
It has no idea what to do
So it stops singing and flies away
Because my heart is like a bird
It has qualities of a bird.

My heart is like a singing bird
It is chirping in my body
As long as I don't let it go
It would be warm in my body
It's ok if there's a bird in me
As long as you don't break my heart
You won't break the bird in me.
