Hot Dog!

April kicks off National Poetry Month, so here's the first one my class penned together. I'm pretty impressed with them.

ODE TO THE HOT DOG

You are summer in my mouth.
You are tasty like pepperoni pizza.
I drizzle mustard
---yellow as the sun---
and ketchup
---red as a heart---
on your lovely, pink skin.

The bun is your shelter
but it doesn't keep you safe
from my mouth.
