Double Acrostic
Soccer ball flies
People cheer and clap
Opposing team saying Boo! Boo!
Rolling to the goalkeeper
Takes a leap and saves it
Middle Acrostic
It is So boring
Lunch is Coming
I am so Happy
I will Open my box
I got Oatmeal! I don’t Like oatmeal
Haikus
It is a bright day
birds are chirping loud and clear
An eagle swoops down…
The brave jungle king
Roar! He tears up his weak prey
Gulp! Nothing remains
Striding along the grass
This striped, strong, mighty creature
Crack! Sees his week prey
The ocean’s beauty
The blue animal swims along
Her prey found, and –– Gulp!
Couplet
Let me ride this huge, mighty horse
Oh no! I see a legion’s force
Metaphor Poem
Nature is a beautiful bird
Singing softly and bringing happiness
throughout the world beyond
Nature is a raging fire
Ruthlessly taking everything
Within its boundaries
Nature is a green tree
Animals peacefully living
Inside and out
I Am From Poem
I am from colorful rubik’s cubes and colorful walls
From the garden at my grandparents’ house in India
I am from a family who hikes on weekends
and from a family known for eating fruits and vegetables
I am from lemons, figs, blackberries, and raspberries growing in my backyard
Which would fill our bellies
I am from playing basketball at my neighbor’s house
And from the song ‘Believer’
I am from Rithvik and Raghu
and from Puri and Oliga
I am from those moments when the sun sets and rises in the beautiful sky.
Limericks
A bird goes for a meter-run
A beetle comes and says a pun
I cannot bear that bear
I see it over there
Oh no I really need to run…
There once was a silly dog
Who met a serious frog
When they met at a pond
They developed a bond
And talked a lot on their log
There once was a cool rocket ship
Who’d really always want to grip
That cool-looking asteroid
Then would go in the void
And put their finger on their lip
The police are on high alert
They saw a thief who would divert
Everyone they saw
Would take their money raw
and to stop them from looking ––– dirt
