The fifth grade is currently studying poetry, and we are learning about and using some literary devices. Here are some intriguing examples that class citizens have agreed to share with you:

Drip Drop
By Skylar

Drip Drop
as the warm honey falls
on the golden brown toast
it’s almost as if
my mother is tucking me in under the warm blanket
I feel as if the honey and toast are becoming friends
as I tuck in the in the honey with a blanket of
sweet strawberries

Fetch and Skamp
by Xander

Fetch runs along the hallway,
fast as lightning. Sleek as silk,
the little tiger stops, and looks
at me for food.He meowls and mews as
loud as bright yellow next to dull gray,
his sister, Skamp, meows as sweet as a bunch of orange jelly beans.

Henry
by Dean

My dog is a cheetah
fast as lightning When he prances
he makes the sun come
out and the birds tweet
he is smooth as velvet
he can play like a lizard
but
when he is mad the thunder
rumbles the sky turns gray
he snarls and bites he is just
that way
and it’s all ok.

Cheyenne
by Gabriella

Her claws are sharp rocks
when she scratches the door
She is like water leaking as she runs out the door
She stands still as a dead mouse
She watches with eyes of a hawk
her barks are loud thunder
sometimes
she is fear
like a nightmare to somethings.
She stares at me with her piercing gaze
I know
soon
she will be a little fur-ball at my feet
