You Are Like the Start of a New Day: And Other Comparisons @ Avondale Logandale

For our third week at Moos the students created sound collages (in the form of poems, of course) of their lives. AKA: a sound portrait! For these first five weeks we will be building a toolbox of skills that we can use in our poetry, to make our words rich with meaning and senses.

Comparison Poem
Danny

You are like a graceful bird
You are like the silence of a fish
You are like the start of a new day
You are like the point of a porcupine needle
You are like the color red
You are like the breeze of wind
You are like the strum of
You are like the irritating sound of a cicada

 

Comparison Poem
Gabrielle L.

You are like a blue moon shining
You are like the sugar on my pie
Violets are like a blue ocean
Tulips are like an orange sunset
A robin is like the sounds of nature
Grass is like a soft blanket
An open land is like crickets making noise
Sadness is like a crying hippo
A butterfly is like a quiet midnight
Snow is like an icy floor
Blue is like a soft template
Space is like a silent museum

 

Comparison Poem
Alexis G.

A pillow is as soft as a cloud
The color blue is like a sad raindrop
You are like soft music in the air
Her hair is like a whoosh in the wind

My family is like four of the most beautiful flowers

Food is like life
Home is like a safe house

A pillow is like a cloud
A butter fly is like a rainbow

Comparison Poem
Melissa L.

Snow is like a cool heart
A rainstorm is like sadness
The stars are like dreams in the sky
The sun is like hot boiling water
Her hair is like a cloud
The sky is like a butterfly rainbow
The moon is like a party for lights
The sun is like the girl’s hair color
The rain is like sad songs
The color pink is like a pig
The boy is like a cheetah

The girl has yellow hair like the sun
I am cold like the snowman
I am running like the jaguar
This sun is like sunshine
I am hot like the sun
I am crying like the rain
The cloud is like a feather
I am sad like a sad cloud
My heart is red like a crayon
The grass is like the color green
I am sleeping like the moon
I am happy like the sunshine

A tornado is like an angry hippo
A rainstorm is like a sad cloud
A cloud is like cotton candy
A tiger is like an angry rainstorm
A toothpick is like a skinny branch
A hairy dog is like a hairy bear
A sad face is like a sad dog
A rainbow is like disco party
A lost friend is like a sad friend
A horse is like a unicorn
A sad friend is like a sad rainbow
