Practicing similes and metaphor - Nicole123's Poem

Summer

Warm air surrounding you
sun shining
brightly like a goldfish
the sky
plain blue
no white puffy clouds to be seen
beach packed with people
canter down the soft brown sand
the ocean is a flat pancake
boats soaring through the clear blue sea
dolphins diving and making a racket
and children laughing, soon to be back at school
.

Practicing similes and metaphor - Nicole V's Poem

Savannah

Is like a movie - interesting and unique.
Savannah is random and she loves pencils.
Savannah is like a lolly, sometimes she turns sour...
hardly ever!
Savannah is like a radio, sometimes ..
you have to push mute or turn the volume down.
Savannah is my friend, she is very caring and talented.

Savannah is a door - to a whole new perspective

Practicing similes and metaphor - by Savannah

Summer

Summer reminds me of three things
sun, surf, and sand.

sun: slowly drifting through the
pale blue sky, wandering around the
world day by day.

Surf: rough waves are walls of water
glistening as people rip through
them on their surfboards or when it
drifts onto the sandy beach.

Sand: like glitter sitting silently on
the beach shimmering in the sun as
the salty water soaks slowly into the sand.

Another thing summer reminds me of is
the flowers, trees, and buzzy-bees.

Practicing similes (and personification) - Jessica's poem


Tapping at the windows,
begging for someone to let her in.
She's seen all the ads, "escape the winter
worries, install a heat pump!" or "keep off
the rain and buy one of our amazing
umbrellas!"

Like an outcast, unwanted.

No one understands or cares that all the
rain wants is,

a friend ......
