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 6th graders wrote some wonderful poems after that!

Ghost
by Yaritza
Hunting at night
Scare you though the day
I wouldn’t let you sleep
I’ll hide your things
Turn off your alarm
You try to catch me
But you’ll never find me
You annoy me every day
So I’ll hunt you all day
Annoying like a cricket
Sometimes like a blanket
I’m tired of you
I guess this is my final goodbye
I’ll always find you 🙂

Ronaldinho
by Juan
Ronaldinho yeah the one
who is Brazilian the one who
wins trophies the one who won
a World Cup the one who is
better than Messi
Ronaldinho like the one who does
magic with the ball the one
who got arrested for having
a fake passport Ronaldinho.

Predator of the Sky
by Jeremiah
Going so fast
diving down
catching my pret
they look like a clown
I have great eyes
like night vision goggles
I eat penguins
while they waddle
I love eating worms
because of the way they squirm
I eat other birds
before they can say words
I’m the highest in the sky
I kill prey until they die.

Golden Eagle
by Niko
I’m flying up up
looking for prey
I spot a baby deer
Bye
I dive down at 300 mph
The deer spots me
I missed and hit a patch of flowers
Fly up and attempt to
dive and catch
I caught my prey.

When You Abuse Your Phone
by Fiona
Jab-swipe-poke-zoom
“No I hate that, ooooh what’s that!”
“Ahhh! I dropped my phone in the toilet!”
This sound familiar?
Well, this is what I deal with all day.
How would you feel if I jabbed you,
broke you, drowned you in the toilet?
That is why I can’t deal with this anymore!
That’s right, I QUIT!!! Maybe, without me,
you will realize how much you need me?
Phone OUT!!

The Dark Knight
by Michael M.
The batman likes to be
in the dark and hide
like a bat and he likes to
fight for Gotham and have
a sidekick that is named Robin
and both of them
like to fight for Gotham
and you can never beat
the Dark Knight.

El Perro
by Sharith Q.
me sentiria mal por que
vivo en la calle y estoy muy
sucio, hace rato no como
todo mundo me ignora duermo
en la calle con much frio
estoy tar aburrido como un caracol
Translated:
The Dog
I would feel bad because
I live on the street
and I am very
dirty, haven’t eaten in awhile
everyone ignores me and I sleep
on the street very cold
I’m bored as a snail
