Today, you're going to write a poem yourself using repetition, similes, and metaphors. Here's how it's going to go. Write your poem into the blanks and send to me! I am a (metaphor)_____________ I am as _(funny, smart, loud, quiet) as a ______________________ I am as _(funny, smart, loud, quiet, etc.) as a _____________________ I laugh at _(something you really laugh at)_ I cry because (something that actually makes you sad) I am a (new metaphor)___ I worry about (something you really worry about)_ I think about (something you think about)_____ I think that I can never do _(something you really can't do anymore)___again. But even so, I predict _(wealth, failure, success, friendship, uncertainty)in my future I will be as (something good like strong or rich or brave, etc.) as a ______ I will be as (something good) as a _. I will never need (something you need right now)again.

I am a house containing a lot of parts. I am as smart as the library wisdom fills my brain. I am loud as a speaker that vibrates through your bones. I am as funny minions and I laugh at the ignorant. I cry because no one understands my complexity. I am a flight of stairs, something new at each step. I worry about the nails in me which some may call my imperfections. I think about carpets to cover about the holes in me. I think that I could never be remodeled again because even if it might be the new me i know in my future I will be metal and embrace my imperfection. I will never need glue to hold me together again because I am held together by my family.
