Cutlets of Couplets

Today at Avondale/ Logandale the 5th grade poets learn about rapping. After listening to Will Smith’s and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s song “Summertime” they were challenged to write their own rhymes. Each poet wrote a series of couplets. Check out these new up and coming rappers!

 

David H.

 

A tool of destruction

And eruption

 

I dance

And I have romance

 

I live in the high grounds

Making a dive down

 

As hard as titanium

As rich as uranium

 

I’m tall like a mountain

And I reroute them

 

 

Oberlin V.

I’m so cool

That’s why I rule.

 

Sometimes I can be cruel

Just like a fool.

I made my cat

Wear a hat.

 

Lisette A.

I like art

As much as I like darts

 

I like expressing my life

as much as the night

I like food

And I am cool

 

Julian M.

MC LUV

 

We go to school

Because we are not fool

 

We got the drip

But i never skip

 

My buddy is a mice

But still got ice

 

I jump in the air

Like a flair

 

Nayelis

We feel love in the air

People watch us stare

 

We be sassy

But be so classy

 

Bibiana G.

I dress fancy

And sometimes classy

 

I am so clever

You could never

 

I’m so happy

Because I be napping

 

I love books

And I love to cook

 

I always stand up for myself

You should always be yourself

 

I can play the viola

But I also like granola
