Poetry
There was a obese old woman
Who had a very big bosom
a very small tush
give it a big push
and she’ll then have a very big bottom
Please write a poem
It’s an assignment for school
It is for writing
It will be long and funny
Just please bring it in on time
The trees are so bare
The snow is falling thickly
It is very cold
Inside, there’s hot chocolate
But outside, winter is here
A
Mountain
Reaches above
And beyond the clouds.
You need oxygen to breathe
The high-altitude air. You need lots
Of layers to keep out the cold. Go to mount
Everest or Mount McKinley. Climb up so very high
To the top of the world. You would be famous and awesome
Trying
Crying
Flying
Sighing
Trying not to start Crying
I’m Sighing while Flying
The animals at the zoo are locked up tight
They must be let out where they can roam so free
They will be able sleep without the light
They will get hurt and get stung by lots of bees
Make sure they don’t get on any airplane flights
Maybe they will be camouflaged by trees
The wild is where the animals will stay
Just don’t let any one of them become prey
Ice cream is so sweet
So many flavors to choose
All of them are neat
Chapter 2: Obese People Poems
There was on obese old man
Who put his hand in a frying pan
It sizzled his fat
His skin came off just like that
A massage chair worked better than the pan
There was an obese little kid
He sat under the trash can’s lid
People tried to throw him out
But there was no doubt
That he was a heavy little kid
There was a big and obese mom
But every day she was calm
Her kids always cried
Because she was so wide
So she moved all the way to Guam
Chapter 3: Cinquains
Upset
I feel so sad
I am going to cry
No one is here to comfort me
Angry
Writing
Oh so calming
Words appear on the page
Fingers swiftly touching the keys
Stories
The Beach
Waves colliding
With the hot silky sand
Digging a huge hole to jump in
Swimming
Puppy
Hyper and sweet
Kissing me in the face
Licking my hand with his wet tongue
A dog
Chapter 4: Haikus
Gerbils are awesome
Looking like mice but they’re not
Just let me hold them
School is kind of fun
You learn stuff like math and art
Let us leave some time
Zebras are awesome
I have a cool zebra hat
I’d like to see one
I love the Summer
I can go to camp all day
Beaches are crowded
You write with pencils
Pencils need to be sharpened
Just don’t break their tips!
Books are everywhere
They are on bookshelves and more
They’re there to be read
Chapter 5: Acrostic Poems
Restless night
Each individual character coming to life
All the stories blend together
Dancing through the stories
My mind imagines life in the stories
End the book and my dreams are over
Fancy castles and people
Animals can talk and come alive
In different stories the princesses marry Prince Charming
Remarkable endings
Young ladies can marry at age 15
Tanned ladies are as pretty as princesses
All the characters are very beautiful
Lions never show up
Endings have happily ever afters

Chapter 6: Shape Poems
A
Volcano.
Spewing hot
lava and destroying
habitats. Mother nature is
angry. Her anger erupts into fury
and her fury erupts in an eruption. In A.D. 79
Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the city of Pompeii
Many were killed. Volcanos continue to erupt around Earth.
Chapter 7: My Poems
Hot Chocolate
Sweet and sugary
Chocolate and marshmallows
Hot hand and hot tongue
Hot when you’re cold
