Similes & Metaphors
Thanksgiving:
My family is like a Thanksgiving Buffet
My mother is a Jello Salad, wobbly and sure,
But too sweet and familiar to resist.
My father is like a dish of potatoes, slightly overcooked
Firm, unyielding, and comforting all at once.
My Sister is a sweet potato casserole,
A little bit of her goes a long way.
My brother is the mystery salad on the end of the buffet
Nobody is sure what is in it, so they mostly just leave it alone.
My family is like a Thanksgiving Buffet.
Limericks
Art Cat Greebo
An artistic male cat called Greebo
To an evening he decided to go
The teacher said “That’s not right
Your page is all white!”
Greebs said, “It is a polar bear in the snow.”
Blackpool
There was a young man from Blackpool
Who wouldn’t drink booze as a rule
For he once had a beer
And fell off of the pier
Which made him feel somewhat a fool.
Alliteration
Dan & His Dog
Dan has a dog that likes to swim and help many people
One fine evening Dan’s phone rang, someone was drowning in the Diver Dam
Quickly Dan grabbed his dog and drove to Divers Dam to save the person
Dan’s dog dove deep in the Dam, drinking dirty water as he dove
Dan’s dog rose with Dave on his back, everyone is glad to see him alive
Dan’s dog became known as the town’s life guard.
Onomatopoeia
Samuel’s Water
Samuel needed to go get water from the town’s pond
He grabs the bucket and starts his walk
The pond is in a bowl looking hole, Samuel strides down to the water
Sam fills the bucket he got up with water and started up the hill.
He reaches the top and slip, SPLISH-SPLASH the water falls down
Sam lost all his water and never made the same mistake again.
Sonnet
This Poem Is off Topic
Post a reply so iced and cold this woeful winter morn
This slate of earth beneath trembles and quakes
This humbled man before you lying torn
When great stone monuments yield
