Acrostic Poem

 Foundation for life

 Reliable and honest

 Indispensible

 Excellent helpers

 Never give up on you

 Deciphering your thoughts and emotions

 Smiling at all you say

Socializing with your friends

Cool teachers help us

Hypotheses of people futures are made

Overlooking people doesn't happen

Opens in the fall

Labratories disecting animals

Haiku

    The bright Summer sun

                          People swimming at the beach

                           Making memories

Autumn leaves falling

                         Gentle winds slipping through trees

                         Whispers from the sky

     Snowflakes fluttering

                              Mr. Winter stings your nose

                              Frosty drifts pile high

New plants emerging

                              Flowers growing tall and strong

                               Spring is a beauty

Cinquain

Cats

Sly, social

Purring, eating, chasing

Always loves petting

Graceful

Dogs

Playful, energetic

Running, barking, chewing

Needs lots of attention

Friend

Horses

Powerful, sleek

Pulling, grazing, galloping

Very elegant

Wild

Refrain Poem

Home sweet home!

That is where I live,

it's like my own little dome.

Home sweet home!

The animals all bounding around,

which I have to comb.

Home sweet home!

If you're in trouble,

the people there cushion you like foam.

Home sweet home!

There, my brother keeps me up to date,

using Google Chrome.

Home sweet home!

A place that is comforting,

and in the yard, watches you, a little gnome.

Home sweet home!

If you're under pressure,

that's the place to let your thoughts roam.

Home sweet home!

That's the place where people understand you,

and you definitely won't need a tome.

There's no place like home,

Home sweet home!

Diamante Poem

Monkeys

Smart, agile,

Swinging, screeching, playing,

Have fun mildly teasing others-

Discovering, learning, talking,

Friendly, self conscious,

Humans

Hope

Hope is the color of white.

It sounds like a bond holding tight.

It looks like the saviour of those who have bled.

Hope makes me feel a newborn might.

Autobiography Poem

Mitchell

Friendly, tall, athletic, smart

Sibling of Pete

Who likes family and friends

Who feels happy

Who needs free time

Who gives friendship to others

Who fears angry animals

Who would like to see California again

Resident of Elgin

Limericks

There was a lady who sang all week,

Her singing could be heard from the peak;

The people all whined,

and together they chimed,

"Stop the noise, you silly old freak!"

Free Verse Poem

I often find myself surrounded

by beautiful images.

In a place that is founded

by no man nor women.

Where the tall giants pounded

their  brothers in the wind.

The little birds sounded

their calls of peace.

A seedling falls and is rebounded

by thier long arms.

It sits a waits to be grounded

so it can bring new beauty.

But then, a bringer of death hounded

out life in the sacred place.

All were astounded

at the sad fact of life.

Only the dumbfounded

did nothing to stop that sad, sad

fact of life.

Found Poem

No man, no matter how strong,

can break a soul, however weak,

into a shattered life,

which is a terrible mess.

No scholar, with a thousand degrees,

can solve a problem, no matter how small,

into a neat answer,

about a sixth sense.

No animal, who knows every trick,

can speak words, even 'the,'

to make a sentence,

about anything.

Five Senses Poems

 Summer is orange.
It tastes like popsicles.
It sounds like kids playing with friends.
It smells like fresh flowers.
It looks like swimming.
It makes me feel happy.

Spring is blue.
It tastes like plums.
It sounds like rain.
It smells like dew.
It looks like fun.
It makes me feel excited.

Winter is white.
It tastes like snow.
It sounds like crunching ice.
It smells like ice cream.
It looks like kids sledding.
It makes me feel happy.

Fall is brown.
It tastes like pumpkins.
It sounds like migrating birds.
It smells like dead leaves.
It looks like falling leaves.
It makes me feel calmed.
