Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year's a day to have fun and cheer
A day to celebrate a brand new year
With firework that goes 'Bang!' and 'Boom!'
As it lights up the shining moon
A festival for the young and old
Years old stories that are told
Where people can dance and sing
Oh, the joy that this day brings!
A day to spend with your folks
Eating food and telling jokes
With a certain food in every town
A traditional cake called 'Niangao'
The streets are lit up with lights
Lanterns turn the place so bright
Windows and doors stick on papers
The color red just makes it greater
This festival goes on for weeks
As sounds of chatter sweeps the streets
So tell your family and you peers
That Chinese New Year is nearly here
My 2nd grade students really enjoyed your poem! It painted a great picture for them.
