So I had to write poems for homework this past week. I was wondering if you guys wanted to see, because some of them made me laugh.
Please excuse the titles, har har. Also, stuff like "alliteration," "consonance," "hyperbole," and "onomatopoeia" was mandatory.

Limericks on Life
They Must not Appreciate Excercise
One time I decided to go on a walk
Rather than sit around and merely balk
Unfortunate for me
There was nothing to see
So I went back home and found the door locked.
El and the Race
Once a kid named El decided to run
A famous race- it would be really fun!
So he made haste
To ace the race
And then he found out that he had not won.
Happy Haiku for the Heart
Clouds
Senryu to Sneak a Peek at
Babysitting
The Freedom of Free Verse
Storm
Silly Skeltonic Verses
Naughty Mole
Across the field, it flies
Across the field, the goalie lies
Waiting for his chance, and tries
But suddenly, the other guys
Kick it in the hole.
But waiting there was a mole.
He ran away and stole
The soccer players' ball.
They gave chase faster than you can say "this means a brawl!"
The mole was a cheetah in the dirt
Which, for the athletes, meant the worst
So they attempted to lure it out with bratwurst
Too bad for them- it came out without their ball.
Don't Rhyme
Blargh, how I very much dislike rhyming.
It can only throw off my timing.
And if I could ever stop this, blimey
I'd be a happy lady.
Dresses
"This dress is the best!"
She exclaimed, "Better than the rest!"
"Not so," Said her friend, "Well, I'll be blest
If mine isn't the best, my name's not Lest!"
They argued and fought, hissed and spat
About whose dress was the best- what brats.
They need not argue about this silly thing, you see
For the person whose dress is best is clearly me.
Clever Quatrain
Open Ocean
Under the sea in the dancing light
Rainbow-colored fish all swim and play
And heavy-geared divers share the delight
Like children with sweets on a sunny day.
Kooky Couplet
Clumsy Clyde
That clumsy, klutzy, careless Clyde
Could not hide however he tried.
And however he tried, he could not
Ever manage to not get caught.
Please excuse the titles, har har. Also, stuff like "alliteration," "consonance," "hyperbole," and "onomatopoeia" was mandatory.

Clouds
Clouds drift by, content
As they create new stories
To tell as they fly
As they create new stories
To tell as they fly
Senryu to Sneak a Peek at
Babysitting
The baby wanders
And the teen kid chases him-
Not a good sitter
And the teen kid chases him-
Not a good sitter
The Freedom of Free Verse
Storm
Dark shapes take form overhead
"Rumble, rumble, ROOM"
The sky begins weeping from fear of the thunder
"Drip, drop, drip, drop"
As the noise grows, so does the rain
"Blipblopblipblop"
The trees stand up to the wind, but are only bent back
"Whishwhush, whishwhush"
The air sneezes and sighs
"WhooooOOOoooah"
The underbrush grows restless and bites those who draw near
"Crackle crash crackle"
Then suddenly, the clouds leave, weary
Silence.
