For this poetry lesson the 5th grade poets from Avondale/Logandale were learning how to cook! Sort of…The poets used “recipes” to “make” their perfect idea of a friend. Through these extended metaphors the poets analyzed what they wish for in a perfect friend while exercising their metaphor muscles. Enjoy!

First you add a tablespoon of empathy,
Then you add a gallon of funniness
After that you add a cup of trustworthiness
Then you get a pinch of sassiness
Get a kilogram of loyalty
And then you get 2 pounds of kindness and honesty
Before you mix, the last thing to do is sprinkle them with love and add a once of caring to make them sweet
Once you’re done with that
Bake the friend in the oven for 2 school years. Once you’re done with the baking process you now have the bestest friend you could have!
