We may be half-way through autumn, but the poets at Hale have all things summery and sweet on their minds. Read our two collaborative poems where the poets practice their imagery, similes, and metaphors by paying homage to some of their favorite things during the warmer weather.
Strawberry
Alexcia, Lily, Ava P., Ava F. and Olivia
4th-5th grade
Ode to the strawberry stem
You are greener than Frankenstein
You are as red as a tomato
Ode to the strawberry seeds
You are as yellow as the sun
Ode to even the bottom of the strawberry
You are as pointy as a screw
Ocean
Alexcia, Lily, Ava P., Ava F. and Olivia
4th-5th grade
Ode to the ocean,
it is as blue as my tears
and it is as wavy as my handshake.
Ode to the ocean shore for being sandy.
Ode to the waves that move
like the flowers in the wind.
Ode to the sand
as yellow as the sun shinning.
Ode to the rocks for being so bumpy
and lumpy.
Ode to the waves for crashing so smoothly.
Ode to the ocean for being scarier
than Halloween.
Ode to the fish
they are scalier than shells.
