5th Grade Poets
Fifth grade students spent several weeks reading and writing poetry. Various forms of poetry were presented and students were challenged to write these forms. Students spent several days identifying figurative language and were expected to use figurative language in their poems. Students completed their poetry unit by writing poems on a given picture or metaphor. We would like to share some poems that students wrote.
Birds
By Allyson
Birds full
of life
Birds
graceful in
the open sky
Birds
smart as a
fox
Birds
flying
everywhere doesn’t know where to stop
Birds
fly like a
bird be graceful in the sky

The Girl
There once was a girl
Who loved to twirl
She ripped her dress
And looked like a mess
She thought she was
about to hurl

Like a Bird
By Taylor
Fly like a
bird, because life is like one.
You can
choose what you do in your
Life, so be
like a bird and fly away to
Your
destination.
If you’re
locked in a cage and want
To get out,
fly like a bird, without a
Moment’s hesitation.
Be free like
a bird and soar through the sky,
Be free
don’t let anyone clip your
Wings ever.

No More Darkness
By Brooke
In a dark
house far away,
there were
no children there to play.
Not even for
a day.
How
beautiful the land was.
Artist came
from miles around to paint
Pictures of
the valley and river,
Because it
was so beautiful.
No one knows
why he never
came out of
the house.
Until the
outside came inside
Saying no
more darkness, not ever,
Not anymore.

The Outside World
By Brian
C’mon on
out, come outside,
that tiny
hole won’t help.
Open the
door, so I can come in.
Watching
T.V. will not educate you
Please open
the iron doors.
I must show
you the outside world.
Super Mario
and Call of Duty
Are not the
only worlds.
Stop eating
pizza
And sleeping
like a cat.
Come run and
play
On a day
like this
And visit
the outside world.
