 A Vacation Poem

By Quincy

 

Ring! Ring! 

The bell rings and like a herd of gazelles, we run outdoors of the school building.

 

Hot! Burning hot!

Vacation was as hot as a burning building. 

 

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Too hot to do anything…

 

Boring, boring, boring.

It was as boring as watching a sleeping cow in a pasture.

 

I'm like a big potato cooking in the sun,

S

      I

Z

        Z

  L

        I

    N

G

and burning in the fire of flames,

it's too hot to eat,

it's too hot to sleep,

so I just sit there

w   a   i   t   i   n   g

for vacation to be over.

run over in the road.

Poetry tastes like…

Your favorite food that you

haven't had in a long time.

Poetry smells like…

A fresh bun that just came out

of the oven from the bakery.

Poetry sounds like…

Your favorite song playing on the radio

all day.

Poetry feels like…

A brand new fuzzy pillow.

Poetry can make your mind think.
