#WorldPoetryDay: I Can’t Write A Poem’ by Leon O’B

The kids in the yard are too noisy.

Are you kidding?

I fell off my chair I got cut.

And it really hurt.

I need to go to the toilet urgently enough.

Call my mom, I feel sick.

My shoes are on fire.

I swear I have nits.

I need to go home.

Or I’ll give it to the other kids.

 

Ding! Time’s up.

Ohno!

If my Teacher sees this

I’ll be sent out.

At least I have got some good excuses.

A Villain – A Class Poem using Metaphors – 3rd Class

Green SmokeCreative Commons License Jose Angel Sanchez Reyes via Compfight

If he was a plant he would be withered.

If he was a sound he would be a slamming door.

 

He would be an explosion of thunder and lightning

because he is unpredictable

and raining fire, because he is in a rage.

 

He would be black liquorice.

and would smell like burning.

 

If he was a tree he would be a Whomping Willow.

He would be an icy Winter.

 

If he was a creature he would be a rat.

His teeth would be like the Great White Shark’s (This is a simile!)

 

If he was a flavour he would be bitter.

If he was a feeling he would be angry because he feels abandoned.

A stranger called this morning

Dressed all in black and grey,

Put every sound into a bag

And carried them away.

 

The ringing of the school bells,

The shushing of the teacher,

The shouting in the yard,

The sighing of the children (playtime is finished),

 

The turning of the pages as the children do their reading,

The sadness of the books as the children put them away,

The yaying of the children when teacher says, ‘It’s hometime!’

The chatting of the children as they talk about their day.

 

A stranger called this morning.

He didn’t leave his name,

Left us only silence,

Life will never be the same.

Class Poems ‘If My Mother Was A Piece of Furniture…'(Metaphors)

hassie_delta400_2016-17_8Creative Commons License Matteo Bagnoli via Compfight

If my Mum was a piece of furniture she would be a sofa

because she is warm, soft and cosy.

She would be a quilt because she wraps me up

and keeps me safe.

If she was an animal she would be a snow leopard

because she is beautiful

she protects her young

and she is unique.

She is a hurricane because she swirls round and round.

She is the sun because she makes the world a better place.

She would be the sea on a fine day because she sparkles.

She is the sound of silence because she is always working hard.

She would be  a gold medal because she is a winner.

SmileCreative Commons License Andrea Passoni via Compfight

If my Mum was an animal, she would be a giraffe

because I always look up to her.

She is the colour yellow because she is bright and cheerful.

She is the sound of birds singing.

She is a human computer because she knows so much.

She is like my birthday all year round because she is full of surprises.

She is fizzy lemonade because she is bubbly, full of joy and fun.

Heiße Schokolade, Zimtstangen und KlementinenCreative Commons License Marco Verch via Compfight

My mother would be a game of golf, because she is calm and quiet.

She is a calm wind because she is gentle.

She is the sun because she shines.

She is the sound of music because she is always in the right key.

If she was an animal she would be a bee, because she is very, very busy.

She would be hot chocolate and marshmallows because she is sweet and warm.

She would be a rose because she smells sweet and looks pretty.

If she was a TV programme,

she would be a cooking programme because her meals are the best.

She is anniversaries everyday because she is fun and unforgettable.

She would be Summer because she makes everyone happy.

Jamie M’s Story – Aldo Safara and Dragons and Aliens

Once upon a dangerous time for Planet Earth,

there lived a heroic soldier whose name was Aldo Safara.

He was the bravest soldier of all.

He lived in Frenzy City

He had piercing blue eyes like blue pearls

He had crazy, blue hair from exposure to too many explosions:

both electrical and nuclear, frags and inventions.

He liked eating healthy food like spinach, broccoli and carrots.

 

In that city there also lived an evil scientist called Zeuz.

He was as wicked as the wickedest wizard

that you have ever heard of.

He had terrible plans for the world as we know it.

 

Aldo had a good friend who was also in the military.

He was the commander of the squad, Cody.

One day the menacing scientist unleashed

an army of aliens and dragons

The aliens came from Mars.

They were green and gooey lizards.

Poison oozed from their slithering scales.

The dragons came from the past.

They shimmered blue and white

And could freeze people to ice

With a look from their green eyes.

The aliens were at loggerheads with the people of earth.

 

There was a terrible battle.

All of the army of the City of Frenzy died except five brave soldiers.

Aldo,

his friends Commander Cody

the Engineer Jason

and Corporals Arron and Kya.

 

Our world as we know it was in difficulty and danger.

The people of Frenzy City and

Planet Earth looked to be in terrible trouble.

What could five brave soldiers do in the the face of danger?

Where would this story finish?

Would it be the end of the world as we know it?

 

In the end the aliens said they had enough of fighting.

They said

‘Why don’t we be friends?’

 

The people of Planet Earth accepted this offer of peace

as they knew that the aliens had what it would take to destroy the Earth

and the humans and the lizard people  lived in peace ever after.

Jamie C’s Story – Jeff’s Adventure

Aegolius funereus Alexandre Roux via Compfight

Once upon a hot summery time, there lived a guy called Jeff. He was taking a walk in the woods with his gun. All around him were trees. He could hear twigs cracking and leaves crunching under his feet. He could smell the night air and feel the wind on his face. There was an owl hooting.

Suddenly he heard a strange sound of something moving through the grass, behind some bushes. He went over to check what it was. He looked behind the bush and then he saw some aliens. He was trying to shoot them but a bullet was jammed inside the gun.

The aliens were coming after Jeff but then Jeff got his gun and fixed it. Then Jeff turned around and killed the aliens and so he lived happily ever after … well until the next time aliens invaded anyway.
