Haiku
Rocks are hard and grey.
They sit around all the time,
and in the day and night.
Acrostic
Thankful for his family
Obedient in class
Being kind to others
Your friend

Hopper
I have a rabbit named hopper (A)
He is really great (B)
Sometimes at night, he makes lots of noise (c)
And keeps me up really late (B)
Color poem
Black
Black is the color of the night.
Black is the darkness that fills an empty room.
Black smells like ashes from a fire.
black tastes like licorice.
Black sounds like a wolf howling in the night.
Black looks like a night sky.
Black feels like the fear of being alone.
Black makes me long for daylight.
Black is the color of my iPad.
Black is the darkest of all colors.
Ode to my blanket
You keep me warm when the weather is cold.
Blanket, fuzzy blanket, so soft and blue,
I could not sleep at night if I didn't have you.
During the day when I'm away at school,
You rest on my bed as all blankets do.
I know you will be there when it's time to sleep,
Blanket, fuzzy blanket, wrapped around my feet.
blazon poem
My legs are as strong as a lion.
My eyes are as blue as the sky.
My hands are as big as talons.
My arms are as long as tree branches.
My poem is the clouds.
I am tall as a tree.
I am the wild.
exageration
Putting on my hat,
I grabbed my bat.
It was my turn to hit,
And the ball flew a mile.
It almost hit my old friend Kile.
I ran I ran,
Fast as a bullet.
I flew past each base like a cheetah,
And I saw the ball from a mile.
Then I made it home,
Then my team goes wild
cinquain
White, fluffy
Floats, flys, drifts
Can make different shapes

Limmerick
Nobody listened to him
He got very sad
and went to his dad
Then he started to look grim.
Makes me think of
snow Makes me think of Christmas
Christmas Makes me think of stockings
stockings Makes me think of candy
candy makes me think of desert
desert makes me think of snow cream
snow cream makes me think of winter

Personification
I am a storm cloud
Dark and scary
I bring the rain
I soak the earth
My thunder crashes
My lightning flashes
I race across the sky
I am a storm cloud
