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


Rhyme


 

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!
