A small stream
Down a small hill
Is a worm
Limerick
The small boy Jack,
Had a bird that hatched;
He helped the bird fly,
Before it jumped and died.
He was to late, the small boy Jack.

These be
Three loud things:
The thunder of a storm... the footsteps
Of an elephant... the roar
Of a tornado.
Free Verse
The black gates clang and clash in the wind,
The large doors slam and smash in the wind,
The trees bend and topple in the wind,
All of these things are victims of the wind.

I Wonder
I wonder how they create superheroes
Why do they have powers and gadgets?
How do the creates think of them?
I wonder if we will live on earth forever
Will we live on other planets?
Will they take over?
I wonder who was the first human
Did they look like us?
Were they as smart as us?
I wonder what will end the world
Will it be a meteor?
Will the sun stop shining?
I wonder when we will explore other planets
Will we get to explore?
How will we get to them?
I wonder why I think about these things
Why do I think?
Where are the answers?
I wonder.
I Wish
I wish
I didn't have to go to school and
get homework.
I wish
I could fly like a bird-
but not worry about feathers
I wish
I was rich
and I could buy anything I wanted
I wish
I had a lot of friends
so I could talk to more people
I wish
I had powers to save
whoever needed help
I Used To Be
I used to be a flower
So bright and full of joy
But now I'm a mushroom
Eating all of the dead, rotting things
I used to be yellow
Like the sun
But now I'm dark
Like the night
I used to be a rabbit
Up early in the mornings
But now I'm a bear
Sleeping through the winters
I used to be a bicycle
Balanced and smooth
But now I'm a tricycle
Always needing a third wheel
I used to be a book
Full of pages and chapters
But now I'm a paper
Nothing very interesting

Writing Rules
Put a period.
Add a coma,
And maybe a question mark?
Always put a Capitol Letter.
Don't forget to put an exclamation mark when yelling!
Always finish a sentence, don't cut it off half way.
Sometimes use a semicolon; just in case you need two sentences together.
Don't forget the quotation marks when people are talking, "Right?"
Put the period, add the coma, throw in a question and exclamation! Don't cut it off halfway through. Semicolons are very important; we need them sometimes!
"And don't forget to add quotations!"
