On week three at Burbank Elementary, we wrote poems grounded in the concept of similes: comparing two unlike things (using the words “like” or “as.” The results were spectacular:
Poems
by Mia
A muffin is like a cloud its fluffy and soft
Trees are like flowers they help earth
A cup of hot chocolate is like an oven it feels hot
My Poems
by Crystal T.
I like hanging around with my
friends because they are fun
just like the playground!
Today I found out that my
eyes look just like coffee.
Mhm I wonder why? Oh I know
why they are the same
color.
Similes
by Juan D.
Diamonds is like a shield
Fire is like raging warriors
Lions are like the deadly Bubonic plague
A giraffe is like a giant skyscraper
Ants are like food crumbs
Comparisons
by Diego B.
My friends are like my cousin
because they both play with me.
My eyes are like binoculars
because I can see
with them.
