7th Grade: Poetry

Write a two stanza poem about some aspect of your family.  Please include the following poetic terms:  simile, metaphor, alliteration, personification, hyperbole, & onomatopoeia. (PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME AND PERIOD THAT I TEACH YOU)

Example:   He bounces around the backyard in his boots
                 Like a monkey chasing snowflakes in December
                 He melts my heart with just one lovely laugh 
                 These are the days I'll always remember

                 Sometimes I'll catch myself daydreaming about him growing up
                 Tears skip down my face and I feel my heart break
                 Then "wack" a snowball smacks me in the back of my head
                 And I wake up from my trance and appreciate the smirk on my monkey's face
                 ...as he runs away

  1. He barkes at every bang at the door
    He gives orders like a milatary man
    Makes annoying nosies I can never understand
    He sleeps like a baby
    He is just like another little brother
    But I rather have him then any other

    He wakes up at the crack of dawn
    He plays X-Box all day long
    He's like a scientist when it comes to football
    Sometimes I want to smack him real hard
    But deep down he is the best brother of all

  2. She play's soccer and wile she is playing
    the soccer ball goes boom boom
    she say's she is the best payer
    but she noes she is not good enough

    she say's she is like a tiger wile she is
    running on the field
    as she kicks the ball it goes higher
    then the airplanes goes
    sometimes she gets angry when she does not
    make a goal!

  5. a cousin following me on and on
    trying to be like me
    doing what i do
    the very same thing
    sports and video games
    that's what we do best

    we keep on playing on and on
    to keep us from our rest
    sometimes so annoying
    but it doesn't seem so bad
    so when the day comes to end
    so before he goes back home
    i say will you please come again

  6. He always keep saying "bark,bark,bark," when ever I come home. He is like a loud gym teacher when ever I see him. He is like a soft blanket when ever I touch him though.

    Deep down he is very nice and cuddly. He will beg for a million years to give a piece,if you ever have food in your hand. He always "hop,hop,hop,hop every where like a hazardous rocket. This is my dog Jake.

  11. His Smile is so charming like the moon shining at night.
    He is as sweet as Carmel.
    Every summer i remember the good days we had.
    Sometimes i think i fall for you to fast but i try to catch myself and never look down.
    Tears start coming down my face as i remember the good times we shared together.
    I always try to forget about you,but honestly i cant. After, "ding" the school bell rings and i think to myself was this a dream? I walk down the hall trying to forget about you and everything about you, but sometimes i just cant...

  12. He bounces off the walls like a bounce ball.
    He is the weight of an anker.
    My head screams whenever he is around.
    "BOOM BOOM" is the sound of his foot steps.

    He is like a bomb fire in my heart.
    But he is a charming child.
    And he is as cute as a puppy.
    But my heart still smiles when i see him.

  14. The sounds of a hyena come out of her mouth
    Tempted to just tear her long black hair
    Flowing like a dark waterfall
    Her eyes eat everyone up,like a monster

    Wheres the off to this thing
    "Ka-Boom" is the sound,when you make her mad
    It's like seeing fireworks in the 4th of July
    She has the roar of a lion
    But she will always be the sister that I love

  15. Like my bed they comfort me.
    When a river of tears flows upon my face they dry it for me.
    They're always there for me like the sun for the moon.
    When I need something they provide

    My parents confort me like my bed.
    My parents wipe my tears away.
    My parents are always there for me.
    My parents provide for me.-Joi Tynes 3period English

    cheatah catches his prey with
    every STOMP STOMP STOMP he makes
    he gets closer he then steps silently
    and so swiftly a dog cant here him

    as he gets closer i have no notice then i wonder "who is it" suddenly the doors whispered open and i see a shadow then he pops out and is like a piece of toast popping out of a toaster

  18. i always beleve that im in a wonderfull place that i was ment to be found
    they where always there when i was down
    when every ''puff'' puff puff i make
    they seem to be like a cake

    full of my puffy coating to them
    every time i cry
    they seem to die
    they try everything to be able to cheer me up
    fortunantly they cleared the black clouds
    letting out the beutifull sun

    knowing that always i beleve that im in a wonderfull place that i was ment to be found

  19. Past 5 he comes, all turns to glitter
    He says "boo" and all springs out to flicker
    A die-hard worker, much like he is ready to blow
    A laughter resonates much like a river flow

    Every time I think of a hero, I think a plenty full
    As a giant shield that's as mighty as bull
    Because after all, he keeps us safe and protects us from evil
    All he is and now, he is my dad always is able

  21. Imperfect,impractical, whiny,
    Yet so hard to be rile,
    Their still so tiny,
    So hard to be vile

    THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
    Dashing like the wind,
    Making my head spin.
    0 to 1, They win.

    Never to late...
    To make my run out of state.
    As the sun creeps under her sheets
    So to they.
    As they sleep, I see them grin,
    planing the next adventure no doubt
    New, trained, gold

    my heart beats as fast a cheetah because i know
    they love me

  23. we sometimes fuss we sometimes fight
    we sometimes disagree but were always alright
    we sometimes agree but sometimes don't
    but break our bond we never wont

He tripped over a flower and landed on his face, I laughed so hard that the people all the way in china couldt hear my histarical laugh. G. Waah waah went whiney willus when we walked without waving. Or asking if he needed help. Boom bang went willus's face as he fell to the ground then pow pow when he threw a rock at my head! [Vanessa<3]

  25. Running up and down
    "thump thump thump"
    Two little girls
    with a frogs jump
    Laughing like hyenas
    Hiding under my bed
    Making the floor scream "AHH"

    They then make there pounce
    Like bouncing balls they bounced
    I was going to scream my head off
    Yes my two little sisters
    But i gotta love them *cough* *cough*

  27. When baby giraffe falls her mommy giraffe will rescue her.
    Then she asks her baby "why do we fall?"...
    she then says "so that we can stand up again."

    She saves her dearly soul from dangers like ssserpents and separation from the pack.
    When the baby giraffe's friends ask about her mother, she says," my mommy is as radiant and as beautiful as the sunset."
    No matter what I know she will always be there for me.

    we all have to
    we have each others back

    He always wants to play
    "Wee" he says when having fun
    He's as loud as a yell

    We might get mad but we always give our hugs
    He's my brother he is always in my heart
