My Poetry

Collection

America (Haiku)

Our flag always stands

Freedom and justice for allAll races can

come

Spaghetti (Limmerick)

It’s time for dinner, Freddie

Your mother made spaghetti

It looks Five thousand years old

And by the way, it’s cold

Time to eat, are you ready?

Summer (Haiku)Licking popsiclesLaying under the

warm sunSwimming in the pool

Trees (Haiku)They give us fresh airThey stand up strong,

tall and brave

Packers (Limerick)

According to the score board

Aaron Rodgers just scored

The other team started to stare

He leapt into the airThen the Wisconsin

crowd roared

Spring (Haiku)The flowers will

bloomThanks to the sun and

the rain A beautiful time

Soccer (Cinquain)Soccer

Kicking, ScoringBig gulps of my waterRunning up the field to

score goalsFutbol

Hibiscus (Haiku)Yellow, pink, or redI have not seen in

person

Toes (Limmerick)My toes wiggle out of

my socksMy toes wiggle into

my CrocsMy toes wiggle up

and downMy toes wiggle all

aroundMy toes wiggle to the

sound of rock

Music (Cinquain)Music

Singing, HummingPlaying with great feelingEverybody loves the music

Much Sound

Sorrow(Cinquain)

SorrowWet, cold, and dark

Crying a lake of tearsLike rain on a bright sunny

daySadness

Colors (Free verse)A girl I know likes

purpleA boy I know likes

green

When they ask my favorite color

I think that I might scream

Yellow is the shining sun

But blue is ocean waves

I guess I can cross out red

And pink makes me want to lose my head

Why are there favorite colors?

The world may never know

I Want a Dog (Free Verse)

My mother says she loves dogs

My brothers love them, too

I love dogs the most My dad says they are

cuteBut I think he doesn’t

want oneIts been eleven years

My parents don’t want to hear

Me asking for a dog anymore
