This week students read “Clock” by Kinereth Gensler and practiced creating images using metaphor and simile. Some students focused on writing about an object of personal significance.

Tamia Makes Me Feel Like the Blue Sky
Laila C.
Tamia makes me
feel like the blue
sky. She makes me
happy like it’s my
Birthday.
Also she gave me slime
and that is really
special to me
when I feel it then
it makes me think of her.
Her eyes shine like the sun.
She also makes me feel
happier than when I saw
and had my first baby shoe.
Shadows
Javaris G.
Shadows
in the dark
I see my bed shadows
When I get up in
the middle of the night
I go to the bathroom
When I come back
I see my ninja shadow on the wall
as dark as a tunnel
When my mom is in the kitchen
I see my mom’s shadow on the floor.
Her shadow is as pretty as a flower
The PS4
Khalil H.
I love how my PS4 is something
that I can talk to.
I love how dear his voice is
also quiet like an angel’s voice.
He’s round like a softball,
but made of metal. His eyes
are blue like the deep seas.

My Coat
Christiana F.
My coat is soft as a cloud.
The outside of my coat is black as black ink
and the inside of my coat is pink as lipstick.
My coat is a hot tub when you relax.
My coat keeps me soft and warm
when I’m outside.
My coat is awesome just like
my MOM.
Smile
Jada F.
We smile
when
we’re
happy
We smile so
bright when a
light turns on for the first time
We smile
We smile
Me
Gaida P.
Me
I am like a dandelion in a field
of roses. A puppy with a litter of cats
I am me
A baker with a passion for reading.
A brother on the way, it’s like
I’m going to Disney Land.
You see light brown hair, I see
chocolate on a head
I am a dandelion in a field
of roses
I am a puppy with cats
Night Time
Brooke S.
Night Time
Laying in my bed softer than
a marshmallow
Pillow feels like a
fluffy feather
Window open to feel the
good weather
Moon shining
brighter than a star
Sleep like an
angel with light wings
Dreaming of chicken
rings and salad
Feel like I’m in
heaven sleep like
all the stars

That Bracelet
Fatou C.
That bracelet
is like a body guard
That bracelet
is as bright as a diamond
That bracelet
is like you’re there with me
That bracelet
was a special gift to me
Silver Dollars
Nasir H.
The silver dollars are
an heirloom
They’re stuck to our
family like a mouse
to a glue trap
passed down from
generations not to be
used
like a broken outlet
to a charger

My Mom
Christyn C.
My mom gave me a necklace
and a ring it was so sparkly
She gave me a tape
Her necklace is blue as the ocean
Her ring is white as a wedding dress
The tape was silver as a prom
Dress shoe
Swimming
Joanna R.
Swimming underwater
is like swimming
in the air.
It’s as quiet as being
in a library the one
place you can think.
No one can talk the
only person there
is you.
The warmth surrounding
you is like a warm hug
you feel happy when
it happens.
Dance!
Heaven S.
Dance is love
It creates one’s happiness
Dance is creativity
It makes your expressions come out
in flames
Dance is soul
It makes the heart become one
with the brain
Dance is religion
It tells the story of different countries,
languages, and religions
Dance is family
It makes everyone united as one
Dance is celebration
It makes people throw their
hands up and say hooray!
Dance is life.
