Intro-Poem

Here is the expedition
Led by Lewis and Clark,
Exploring had been their ambition
Their relationship had begun with a spark.

They traveled through the newly bought land,
Called Louisiana.
With a friend at hand,
Sacajawea, she's the TOP BANANA!

Thomas Jefferson sent them,
Through the land he bought.
The land was a gem.
The expedition confirmed the thought.

Lewis killed himself,
Yes that is true
He was overloaded with stress
But a glorious expedition, he did do!


Reflection:

I wrote this poem because we had just finished our poetry project and I was getting really comfortable with writing poems. I called Sacajawea the "top banana" because I couldn't think of something that rhymed with Louisiana. I decided to make this poem a small outline of what happened because I didn't want to say everything in my first post. I think it came out okay, besides the strange word choice.
