The Hard-Working Hen: A Sensory Poem

Our Watermelon Wednesday reading group had a
discussion about the Little Red Hen. Was she right to
eat all of her freshly baked cake and not share with her
friends? It's true that the friends refused when she
asked them to help plant the wheat, pick it, and grind it
into flour. Some of us thought she should still share her
cake. We didn't agree with each other. That's why at
the end of our sensory poem, we have a selection of
different endings. What's your opinion? Should you
share with friends that don't help you?

The Hard-Working Hen

I  see  lots of golden wheat growing in the fields

I feel like making a veggie pizza

I smell warm fresh air and something yummy in the oven

I see lazy creatures watching me work

 I smell delicious pizza

I taste a soft, fluffy crust

I feel 3 pairs of eyes staring at me

Different Endings:

When I am done, I will share (Genesis)

I hear a distant train whistle

Poor, hungry friends (Ms. Senyak) 

They asked for some, that’s how good it was (M. Ali)
