Animal Poems
"The Kick" by Brendan
In the forest I stand alone
Looking for my beautiful home
Here comes a deer looking about
I stand there I won't shout
Inside the forest on the ground
I yell, "Man down! Man down!
Kicked in the face by a deer!"
Oh, wait. No one's here.
"Owls" by Dina
Above in the sky
I see you fly
At night I wish
I could be one of you
Owls, owls staying up all night
Owls, owls sleeping in the day
I miss all the fun
The night is done
I'm sorry to say this poem
Needs to end right away
"Ocean Wonder" by Ethan
Up above flying fish fly
Sharks are swimming below
On the ground mussels eating alone
There was something on my leg
Uh-oh!
I stand on 55th Street
I look up high
And from down below
I see a fly fly away
I follow the fly
Down the street
After that,
It attacks me
Good grief!
Red panda bear
Red panda bear
I look up from where I am now
I look all the way up from the ground
I see you climb high up in the trees
I see you climb away from me
Don't be scared
Don't go away
I want you to stay
"The Flying Fish" by Kennedy and Nova
Flying wet,
Flying wet,
Swimming high,
Up far in the beautiful sky
Never seen
Soon will be
In the water next to me
The flying fish
"Underwater Animals" by Milo
Under water there's a party
With water animals about
Dancing, singing, and playing
As they are listening
Under water, under water
As they go
Look at them dancing
Prancing and moving

Use of Similes and Metaphors in Poetry
"Two Ears, One Mouth" by Maria and Kennedy
Listening is a prize
So look inside
It'll make you wise.
One mouth is sweet
Listening is a treat.
Your mouth is a waterfall
So don't let it leak
Your mouth is a beak
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
"Snakes" by Noah
The python was as hungry as a cow
The snake could eat a cow
The cobra was like a lion
The cobra is as scary as a devil
The snake is as slimy as a worm
"My Dog" by Joey
Her fur is as black as coal
When I touch her fur it is soft like silk
She is sweet and lazy
Her heart is as pure as gold
She is a beautiful dog
She is Millie
"The Moon and the Sun" by Kathleen and Jeshua
The moon and the sun
are as round as a clock.
The sun is the moon
when the day is dark
The moon is as bumpy
as a bumpy road.
The sun is a bright
light bulb.
The sun and the moon
tell time to whom?
"The Golden Dog" by Brendan
Shinier than the brightest light
But guess what - she won't bite!
As wise as the wisest man or woman
Doesn't jump on tables for food
Because if she did, that would be rude
She is even golder than gold
Cute like a toddler
In bed at night
As fast as lightning
Through the night
She is my dog...
