Metaphor Poem



Blow Pop

My Dad is the stick
Looked over most of the time
But the base of the sucker,
He holds us up

My Mom is the wrapper.
Holding the candy inside,
keeping us fresh and safe

My brothers are the candied part
If you wear away at them for too long
They will slice you with their words
The same way the sucker slices the roof of your mouth
They are hard and strong

And I,
Am the bubble gum center.
The best part of the family,
And the center of it all.

I scored a 10/10
The average score for the test was 8/10
I exceed the norm!

Puppies: Aliteration, Onomatopoeia, Oxymoron

Onomatopoeia
Oxymoron
Aliteration
Bark, yip, growl, thump
Hyperactive Fuzzballs
Screech, thunk, laugh
Stubby tails thunking
Puppies playing a game of pounce
Running around inside the house
Good grief, why did you buy three?

Descriptive poetry

Book
This book is like a solar eclipse
The black color of the binding is like the moon
And the bright orange is like the sun
The dark colors contrast like
black and white
Neon and pastel
The book is broad and sturdy
The edges are frayed
Like the bottom of my favorite Jeans
The corners have bent and the bright orange color
Has dulled a bit

Shark

Agile and deadly
Quick and fierce

With one swift movement
your skin, my teeth will pierce

I can smell your blood
from all around

I can sneak up on you
Without making a sound

I am more than one species
Like the hammerhead, of sorts

We circle our prey
Me and my cohorts

I am the shark
Deadly and true

I am the shark
The King of the deep blue
rawr...

Essay for Interval

Are You Ready For Some Football?

"He-could-go-all-the-way, touchdown!" The commentators shout into their microphone. Football is a favorite sport of Americans due to the skill, and agility, and strength you need yo succeed in order to play the sport. Professional football is currently the number one American sport.
Most Americans tend to watch football more than they take part in it. This may be because football is a dangerous sport. You can be easily and badly injured while playing. But fans still show their support by displaying their team's logo on their personal belongings and attending games. Football is played by both men and women (but in different leagues) during a seventeen week period, and takes place in a stadium. Football is played by eleven people (on the field), who try and get the football into the endzone on the other side of the field. When they do it is called a touchdown. A touchdown is worth seven points. Also they can kick the football into the a large almost U shaped goal that towers above the field called a field goal. And these can be worth either three or one, depending on the situation.
Football is a great sport to watch and take part in. It excites you, and makes you jump and down and shout, whether with frustration or with joy. Americans enjoy watching rough and competetive sports. So if your looking for an American sport that will surely ignite your entertainment, professional football is the way to go.
