1. Haiku

Bird

Surfing on the wind

Taking glances at the earth

Flying till sunset

2. Limerick

The Flying Boy

There once was a boy who could fly

With all the birds in the sky

He saw a big pig

That was doing a jig

So he waved to the pig and said “Hi!”

3. Cinquain

Parents

Parent

Loving, Caring

Always keeping you safe

Making you smile when you are sad

Guardian

4. Free Verse

Writing A Poem

Writing a poem what to do

My pencil can’t think of anything

Writing a poem what to do

An idea is what I need

Writing a poem what to do

The hardest thing ever is this

Writing a Poem what to do

Like a rock my brain sits but does not think

Writing a poem what to do

My imagination is plugged

But suddenly

Like magic

I start to write

5. Ode

An Ode to Friends

When I’m sad you cheer me up

When I’m mad you calm me down

When I feel that no one understands me

You do

When I feel everyone is against me

You aren’t

I don’t say this enough

But you are special

You share your joy with me

And make you me feel

Like you need me

And I need

You

6. Final Poem

What’s Within My Head

I lay my head down on my pillowAnd take a journey into my head

Right into dream worldWhile laying on my bed

Where monsters and fairiesAre all very real

Where exchanging pixie dustIs like making a deal

And there are also memoriesOf the distant past

From learning how to ride a bikeTo getting my first cast

Sadly there’s scare landWhere all my fears enjoy

Making fun of peopleAnd scaring little boys

But now I must wake upSo I wave goodbye

“How was your sleep?” My mom asks I roll my eyes and sigh
