We're having our 5th grade recognition soon and we had to write a poem for our program. Our thyme is 'Soaring to New Heights.' I have written a poem and I was hoping for some editing from you. Here is the poem:

We're tiny eggs lying inside our nest
where our parents keep us warm.
We soon hatch from those shells,
and chirp our first words.
While we're still young, they do things for us like getting us food and feeding us.
Now we are growing up and doing somethings for ourselves.
Today, we're learning how to fly up high.
At first we get a bit of a struggle, but after sometime we've finally reached the heights we've been longing.

Oh, and 'for' in the fourth last sentence shuold be 'by.'

We're tiny eggs lying inside our nest

where our parents keep us warm.

Try to keep the rest of the poem in the same meter or rhythm of your first two lines. The whole poem will sound much better.

We're TI-ny EGGS ly-ing IN-SIDE our NEST
where our PAR-ents KEEP us WARM.

Say those lines aloud until you hear the same rhythm I do. Then duplicate that rhythm in the other lines.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you edit your poem! Overall, it's a great start and captures the theme of "Soaring to New Heights" nicely. Here are a few suggestions to enhance the poem:

We start as tiny eggs in our cozy nest,
Where our parents keep us warm and safe.
And when we hatch, our journey begins,
Chirping our first words, amazed at life's embrace.

In our early days, our parents provide,
Food and care they lovingly provide.
But as we grow, we spread our wings,
Discovering independence, trying to thrive.

Today, we're learning to fly up high,
Scaling heights we've only dreamed about.
Though at first, it's a struggle in the sky,
With time and perseverance, we'll figure it out.

So let's embrace the challenge with all our might,
No matter the hardships we may face.
For soaring to new heights is our ultimate flight,
Reaching beyond what we thought possible, with grace.

I hope these edits help to enhance your poem and capture the theme more vividly. Remember that poetry is subjective, and feel free to make any further adjustments that reflect your personal style and voice. Good luck with your 5th grade recognition program!
