Summer

Laughing and playing
Sleeping and swimming all day
Summer is joyous!

Five Senses Poem

Disgusting

When I smell burning trash,
I see ash flying,
I hear flames popping,
I taste an awful flavor,
I feel dirty and disgusting.

Metaphor Poem

Moving is a waterfall

Moving is a waterfall.
I am a leaf, picked up by the torrent of the flowing water and dropped at the bottom.
The gushing tears follow me down, down, down.
I leave my home tree behind, but take my stem to remember.
There are other leaves and trees at the bottom, but it’s not the same to me.
Eventually I get accustomed to the new trees, but I still miss the top of the waterfall.

Simile Poem

As a Clock Does

My friends and I need to be oiled to run smoothly
As a clock does.
Sometimes we get really wound up
As a clock does.
We go tick-tock-tick-tock, have fights and get broken
As a clock does.
But with some elbow grease we get fixed up again
As a clock does.
