Poems
Haiku
The loud chirping bird
Was just learning how to fly
There he went freely
Limerick
There was a great man
Who was really a fan
He cheered so loud
Because he was so proud
That he was just like Fran
Rhymed Couplets
My brother Caden
Is really misbehavin
He took my phone
And now I'm all alone
I will put up a fight
Maybe all night
Just to get my phone
So that I'm not all alone
Free verse
I like the fall
Because I get to play ball
And sometimes I have to call
For help when I fall
Poem
I wonder!
I wonder how my parents named me.
Where did they get the name?
What does it mean?
I wonder if I will get a good grade on my art.
How will she grade it?
Will she like it?
I wonder who will be my friends in high school.
Will it be the same ones I have now?
Will I have completely different friends?
I wonder what my future will be like.
Where will I go to college?
Will I live close to my parents?
I wonder when I'll decide where I'll go to college.
Will I get to play college basketball?
Will I get a scholarship?
I wonder why I'm here.
Will I make a difference?
What will I accomplish?
I wonder!
I wish
I was a bird. I could look down at all the people.
I wish
I had a time machine. I would be able to see my ancestors.
I wish
I was invisible. I could sneak up on people and scare them.
I wish
I had graduated high school. I would be older and wiser.
I wish
I could play college basketball. I would be very happy!
i used to think
I used to think that school was easy
But now it gets harder as I get older
and as it gets harder, I get wiser
I used to think growing up was fun
But now I know its not
All I do is work
I used to love winter
Sledding, snowball fights, snowmobiling
But now I think its too cold
I wait till the day that the sun will warm me whole
I used to wonder why I, a child, got punished
But now I know the true reason
They did it for me, to make me to be a better me
Clerihew
Tay was born in May
She liked to jump in the hay
But now shes dumb
As dumb as her thumb
Ed Sheeran
was born with bad hearin'
but now he sings
as well as birds fly with wings
What the ______ does
What the telephone does
rings
dings
What the ghost does
moans
groans
What parents say when a child first starts driving
Stop!
Slow down!
Theres a car!
Put your seatbelt on!
Turn down the radio and focus!
It doesn't matter how you look, focus on the road!
Your boyfriend can wait!
Snapchat is not that important!
Brake now!
There is a yellow light!
Watch out!
There's a deer!
Blinker!
Headlights!
My little girl is growing up!
Stop!
