Shared Class Poem I Am a Poison Dart Frog I am a poison dart frog. I live in the African Rain Forest. I wonder if my bright colors will scare off my enemy. I hear a sneaky cobra slithering up behind me. I see bravery in the eyes of my predator. I want the cobra close enough so that I can secrete my poison and watch him die. I am a poison dart frog. I question why humans need the trees that make up the habitat of millions of creatures. I feel melancholy because my own home may be next to be destroyed. I touch the leaves and branches that create a shelter for me. I worry I will never find another home as good as the one I have now. I cry out. NO! Do not cut down this house. It is my home! I understand I can’t control the human’s actions. I am a poison dart frog.

Shared Class Poem

I Am a Poison Dart Frog

I am a poison dart frog.I live in the African Rain Forest.

I wonder if my bright colors will scare off my enemy.I hear a sneaky cobra slithering up behind me.

I see bravery in the eyes of my predator.I want the cobra close enough

so that I can secrete my poison and watch him die.I am a poison dart frog.

I question why humans need the trees that make up the habitat of millions of creatures.

I feel melancholy because my own home may be next to be destroyed.I touch the leaves and branches that create a shelter for me.

I worry I will never find another home as good as the one I have now.I cry out. NO! Do not cut down this house. It is my home!

I understand I can’t control the human’s actions.I am a poison dart frog.

Shared Class Poem ContinuedI say CROAK! CROAK! to find the perfect mate

I believe the two of us will create thousands of off-spring.I dream of a happy life for my tiny froglets.

I try to protect the larvae from it’s many predators.I hope each egg will survive so that they can grow up and

enjoy the rain forest.I was once a tadpole swimming through the waterfalls.But now I am a parent taking care of my own tadpoles.

I am a poison dart frog.
