This week, we read (in our best Hulk voice!) an excerpt of “Hulk Smash!” by Greg Santos and “Forest Walk” by Kristine O’Connell George. We talked about how to write a persona poem in the point of view of someone or something else, and we also went over what a simile is and how to use it. The 5th graders wrote some wonderful poems after that!

The Creative Minds
Amiyah D.
The creative minds think alike
no wonder people say that
a lot. Creative minds make
wonderful things like paintings,
drawings, even writing in
cursive!
My creative mind thinks
differently like a lambo
driving fast oh no what
if the police catch me but
they can’t ha-ha too
fast to catch, driving
down the road swerving
left to right speed
on top you never
know what the creative
minds can think like!
The police think they
can catch me but oh
well too fast for
you honeyy!!

My Xbox
by Pierre
My Xbox I wouldn’t want to
be my Xbox I would get thrown
like a football. When he loses
an easy ranked match
and treated as if I was starbase
when he hits the keyboard like a
hulk smash.

Katniss Everdeen
by Alanis
An endless danger
to survive, to live, to lose
My life like a bow and arrow
the options are so narrow
A life far more different
To be a mocking jay
the sunlight on my face in a ray
in the Hunger Games
as annual victor
to live like you will not the next day
to see life in a different way
A choice I will not get to choose
To be and live as the girl on fire
is a strange but understandable desire.

Charlie
by Angie
Charlie knows he is loved
He has a problem
He has too much energy
He bites but not too hard
Charlie doesn’t have to go to school
Charlie’s lucky
He can’t eat human food
He is like a bolt of lightning
He is fast and energetic
He is Charlie and he is a dog.

Life as a Tree
by Daniel J.
Life as a tree can be hard especially
when it’s winter
in winter it’s like
I could freeze to death
it’s super cold
that is why I don’t like the winter.
