SIMILE POEM:
A tiger is as fierce as a massive and angry mother T-rex.
A bird is as free as a zebra let out of its cage at the zoo.
Summer is as joyful as a child in bed on Christmas Eve.
The slug was as slow as a turtle with a broken leg.
The puppy was as wiggly as a worm on soft dirt.
The child was as mischievous as a hamster with a room full of tunnels.
SIMILE/SYNONYM POEMS:
LIGHT
Underweight, scant, sparse, slender. As light as a famished lizard.
INSANE
Mad, crazed, lunatic, deranged, mental. As crazy as an extremely stressed teacher.
HATE
Detest, loathe, dislike, scorn. As hateful as a cat and dog fight.
FEAR
Terror, dread, phobia, dismay. As fearful as a child about to take a test.
AWFUL
Grievous, atrocious, disgraceful, gruesome. As awful as President Bush.
THE MOP
A jellyfish with a stick on its head,
Cleans in my kitchen and around my bed.
I drown him in a bucket of suds’,
then he will clean up all types of muds.
METAPHORS
1. Happiness is chocolate cake.
2. Loneliness is a dark tunnel.
3. Fear is 7 zillion razor sharp teeth pointing at you.
4. Embarrassment is falling flat on your face.
5. Love is blooming roses.
6. Courage is a macho guy with a cape.
CAN YOU IMAGINE…???
A flower without a petal
Nails with no metal
A trip and a slip without a fall
A home without a single wall
A cloud with no white
Two boys without a fight
A world with no sea
A pod with no pea
A car without a ride
A lion without pride
A world without a mountain
A park with no fountain
A child in no trouble
Soap without a bubble?
I HEAR THE GARDEN SINGING…
I hear the garden singing
I hear the tree branch swinging
I hear the red rose growing
I hear the gardener mowing
I hear the blue bird dancing
I hear the rabbit prancing
I hear the long hose spitting
I hear the spider knitting
I hear the pink worms wiggling
I hear the brown mud jiggling
I hear the birdbath splashing
I hear the chipmunk dashing
I hear the garden singing
