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.
