In My Pockets
- Poem by Brianna Segars, Grade 6

What's this in my pockets?
A frog, a pencil,
two shells, one stone,
a wadded up newspaper,
a chicken bone, half of
a blue jay feather and a piece
of string, three crayons, and a
ladybug wing, some pink gum,
a couple of cookie crumbs,
a plastic elephant I have a 
couple of these, hey look
assorted keys, a melted candy
bar, and a picture of a place not
too far away, my sister's mini-umbrella,
some noodles from my chicken
noodle soup
, and what's this? a
Cinderella doll, a plastic red
bicycle, a wheel from a tricycle,
some rubber rockets ... that's
What's in my pockets!
