Pools

Pools are very cool

You can have a duel

It’s fun to dive

But you can’t really strive

Seats

Seats are neat

Your butt meets

You can fart

But there is no mini-mart

Max

Oh max

Max has good snacks

He is good at football

But he is not very tall

Ten little fish swimming in a line

One saw a shark then there were nine

Nine little fish swimming around bait

One took a bite now there are eight

Eight little fish living in heaven

One saw a barracuda no there is seven

Seven little fish watching Moby Dick

One got carried away now there are six

Six little fish going for a dive

One went too far now there are five

Five little fish playing around the shore

One got beached now there are four

Four little fish swimming by a tree

One went under now there are three

Two little fish playing in the sun

One got cooked now there is one

One little fish having fun

One saw a bun now there in none

Diamante

Tanka

Snow is very fun

There is so much stuff to do

You can have snow fights

And you can build a snowman

And the best thing is sledding

Bats are swinging hard

Small balls flying over fence

Running very hard

Crowds are screaming very loud

Slide slide touch the bag yes score

Limerick

There was a boy named bob

He hit his head on a knob

He got knocked out

So we had to pout

Then he ate a shishcobob

There was a dog named Fill

He hated that people kill

So he went to protect

But it turned to a wreck

So he chased the killer over the hill

Free Verse/ Pattern Poems

Kevin is in Heaven

Because he met Devon

But he did not like Devon

That is why he is in heaven

My name is Devon

I am eleven

I met Kevin

He is eleven

Kevin punched me

And launched me to heaven

So I told Mrs. Lemon

And now Devon’s in heaven with Kevin
