A Hallowe’en night

One Hallowe’en night, I got lost in the wood
Even though I thought I should really run away.
Until I found a weird looking creature
That looked like it really needed a teacher
It was bony and scary I thought I should turn
right but I became too fascinated by the sight.
Then slowly he turned around to me but before
he could I thought I should really be on my way
I really thought I should run away!

Skelly Bones

As I was following it,
It was picking flowers bit by bit.
And danced where it stood,
There in the middle of the wood.
The bones were old,
And they were gold.
It had a big belly,
And it was skelly.
What it was doing-I don’t know-
When it turned to me
I knew it was time to go,
It lost me by the witch’s house.

Third and fourth classes wrote poems about themselves using similies.

I am …

As sweet as a sugar cube ,
As strong as a lion,
As cute as a puppy,
As smart as a dictionary,
As super as superman,
As kind as a native,
As fit as a runner,
As lovely as a cat,
As busy as a bunny,
As neat as a cleaner,
As proud as a prince,
As perfect as a king.
