Liesl's poetry

Liesl's class is having a poetry week, writing a different kind of poem every day. Here are her wonderfully inventive and fun creations. (Updated to add: it was actually poetry month! I added four more poems.)

Favorite Things
Softball, music,
Elementary schools,
My birthday, games,
Swimming pools,
Climbing, candy,
Reading books,
Like Fablehaven, 
In cozy nooks,
Presents, flowers,
Always there's pets,
TV shows, movies,
French baguettes,
Birthdays, friends, and
Fantasy kings
These are some of
my favorite things!

Guinea Pigs (acrostic poem)
Grand little thing 
Unbearably cute 
Its chubby body 
Nosing around
Exclaiming such noise 
At audio cues
Prancing about 

In cage and out

Greatly their loved

In all due honor to...

Starlight and Chewy!

Cinquain poems (like a haiku, but 2, 4, 6, 8, 2)

Jasper
Jasper.
He is my dog!
I love him very much.
He is furry and quite fluffy
Big too!

Freckle
Freckle.
It is better
Than Dreambox learning is!
I like it because it is math,
FUN math!


My Great Grandma
I had
A great grandma.
She was good at painting
And built many great doll houses
So cool!


(Onomatopeia poems)
Our House
The toaster goes squeak
The stairs go creak
The microwave goes beep
I woke up late! My brother said “That’s cheap”
The french toast goes splat
The silverware goes clat
OOhh!! French Toast, Mmmmmmm!!!!
Slurp, slurp,
Burp. excuse me! Schooltime!!!

A dog
A companion, a friend, sometimes offends
Ruff ruff 
Won’t let you down
Woof woof
I want a crown!
Swooshing down a snowy hill?
Bark, bark, bark
Belly on the ground “that dog’s got skill”!!
Sloup sloup 
Back inside warm and cosy
Doggie’s being a little nosy!

(Alliteration poem)
My Family


I have a Dog,
He’s really cute but
He’s also kind of a hog!
I love my Dad
He tells the best stories
Even when we’re bad.
My brother likes a good Dare
So I thought he would
Like a bad scare!
I am the Daughter
And Bri is the mother
P.S. She drinks way too much water!
(Color Poem)
What Is Teal?

Teal is the color of my jacket
And I imagine
If it was alive it would cook up quite a racket!
Teal is a brave color
A bold one too!
Teal is a great painting,
Of a dolphin leaping in the sky!
Trust me you shouldn’t be complaining!

(Repetition Poem)
My dog Jasper

I have a dog Jasper
  Yes, of course you do
I have a dog Jasper
  Yes, I bought him for you
I have a dog Jasper
  Yes, he’s not too lean
I have a dog Jasper
  Yes, his nose is very keen
I have a dog Jasper
  Yes, nothing will keep him from sleep
I have a dog Jasper
  No, he’ll never hear a peep!

(Exaggeration Poem)
My Potion in Motion

I had a nice potion,
But mind you
I had a plan in motion!
I poured three cups of water
And out came an otter
That was sure to slaughter,
So I told it to go on its way!
You see the potion was a trick
For my brother's friend Nick.
I poured the cups into the potion 
And my plan was in motion
I poured it over Nick and
Nick was quick
But not quick enough
For that was the end of my brother’s friend Nick.
