It's Rhyme Time!

Can you think of two lines that rhyme?
Can you make a poem that makes sense and has rhythm?

on the weekend
flying high
to the beach
to see the sky

no clouds today
the waves are white
I'll dream of this day
when I get home tonight

Remember - use sounds that are easy to rhyme!
use the alphabet plus: br, bl, cr, chr, dr, fr, fl, gr, etc.
Try to use more that one syllable...

Way up the sky
This puffy thing will always fly
Blue or white, it may be
A cloud is what I'll always see

One night I wished on a star
The next morning i found i had a car
(boring just a little quick thing)

Love is the thing that makes you happy,
you then don't feel so sappy.

Love is the thing that makes you glow,
heck,go with the flow.

Love is the thing that makes you cry for no reason,
just cause your happy.

Gray And Blue

Leaves are

this gray
october day
we get the chills
our eyes set on
a faraway prize-

Soap
Wash away impurity,
wash away my day
take my worries down the sink
so that I am peacefull to
think

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
all of my classmates,
belong in the zoo.

Florida

Birds chirping,
Cars driving,
Echos of children playing,
Smooth oranges,
Thick grass,
Rough stones,
Watermelons,
Ice cream,
Sour apples,
Fresh air

Florida

Dogs

Dogs,there furious
man eating ,
blood sucking,
animals.That
will bite you,
limb from limb,
If you get to close to one ,
your life will be at stake.
Not only that they,
poop on streets and,
if your not lucky.
Youll step in it and say yuck.
So if your smart,
stay as far as you can for
your own gods sake.

I hardly ever see
the eyes
critisizing me
-tina

Thats part of my poem called daggers not eyes

Joe had commited,
a life time in jail crime,
by stealing the prime ministers mail,
he was really sad .
He told him self why did I do that crime.
The police said now you have to the time.

Les_29 said...

Oh how I loved you
Your sweet fresh scent
The ice cream parlor where our memories lay
But now your gone
your not so near
I want you back
I want your fear!

There once was a man named clie
O how he hated his tie
He hated that tie as much as he
hated pi
So he went to die his tie
and his tie went bye
so clie went to buy a new tie
so he can fly
to the sky

M y Baby Brother

My baby brother is
the cutest one out of all.
He can be naughty
but who cares
not me!!
He scratches me
with his cat like hands.
But who cares
not me!!
No matter what he does,
he is special to
others including me!!
"Why," is that
what you ask?
Well, because he lives
deep inside me!!
"Where in me
could he be?"
In my heart
don't you know
you stupid, yellow bumble bee!

My Poem in the pocket poem is:

Smart
My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is mroe than one!

And then i took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-i guess he don't know
that three is mroe than two!

Just them, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!

And i took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
and the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!

And then i went and showed my dad,
and he go red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head-
Too proud of me to speak!

Kiranpreet said...

Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you
away in the sink.
If only a bomb
would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits.

I'd rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework
my teacher assigns.

Homework! Oh, homework!
You're last on my list.
I simply can't see
why you even exist.
If you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink

by Shel Silverstien


I like this one too!!!!!!!!

Which one should i choose?????

Haresh said...

Dad
My Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
My dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
It's just such a honor calling him dad.

Mr.Byrd said...

Ramandeep said...
