Similes & Metaphors

Simile: The lawn was as flat as a pancake

Metaphor: The dog was a bolt of lighting when he chased the cat

Simile: The clouds were as fluffy as sheep

Rainy Day

Slam! Goes the door behind me

As I walk outside

To the splishing, and splashing

Of the rain falling

Clickity, clonk goes my boots

As I run into the street

But wait!

Vroom, Vroom a car is coming!

As the cars passes by me

SPLASH!

The car drenched me with water

Screech, goes the car as it races off.

Than bang!

A crash of thunder startles me!

I hurry and hang my raincoat

On the porch and slip my boots off

Crackle, crackle goes the thunder

I open the door and stomp into the house

I lie on the couch and slowly fall asleep

And that was my rainy day!

Onomatopoeia 

Winter

The trees are so bare

Snowflakes are falling down fast

The ground is so white

Haiku

Tommy

 

Tommy Turtle Taught Tennis on Tuesday in his Tennys on the Table

Alliteration

Thunderstorm

 

The rain drop sang as it hit the desert ground

And the thunder roared like a lion

The people were terrified

Personification

 

The Trameel

It lives in Sassoon

And lives to eat

Its has two heads

And slithers along

With its rabbit body

And mouse tail

It quakes and shakes

And bounces and prances

And stumbles and blobs

It howls and honks

And will eat you alive!

Nonsense

The Heart

 

My heart was black

As black as coal

And never right

Till one day came

The pastor spoke

I confessed my sins

My heart turned white as snow

And after that my life was changed

-Forever!

Rhythm

 

Pillows

Pillows are so comfy

Some are very lumpy

And some are very fluffy

I always take pillows on trips

I love to make them do flips

I kiss them with my lips

Triplet

Crazy Cat

I have a crazy cat

She likes to chase rats

I found her as a stray

Her fur is very gray

Her paws are so white

They glow in the night

She always falls asleep

Dreaming about sheep

My House

 

My house is very fun

There’s a lot a space to run

The front yards very big

There’s lots of room for figs

My room is very pink

And so is the sink

The kitchen has green floors

It even has doors

Couplet

 

 

Cookies!

Cookies are so good

They fill my tummy with joy

There’s peanut butter,

Snicker doodles, chocolate chip.

Gingersnaps, and m&m

Cat got ran over!

 

The cat got ran over!

She was crossing the road

When a car came by

The cat got ran over!

The day was hot

The cars were speeding

And then the cat got ran over!

The cat was orange with little blue eyes

The cat got ran over!

The car was black and people didn’t notice

That the cat got ran over!

The cat was the silliest little thing

But now she is gone

Because the cat got ran over!
