Bio Poem 

 
Samuel  

 
Is Irish, curious, and athletic 

 
Loves parents, Ireland, and languages 

 
Is good at gaming, sports, and planning 

 
Feels pain, relief, and karma 

 
Needs books, a computer, and food 

 
Wants an Alienware PC, PS4, and better drawing 

materials 
 

Fears boredness, loneliness, and complete 
satisfaction. 
 

Likes to eat shrimp, homemade pizza, 
Bacon-Chicken-Ranch sub. 
 

Watches The Office, Parks and Rec, and Stranger 
Things

I am poem 

I am smart and humorous  
I wonder when will the world end 
I hear the water flowing in a small brook 
I see the tops of clouds 
I want to be financially successful 
I am smart and humorous 
 
I pretend that I am famous 
I feel the earth below me 
I touch the clouds in the sky 
I worry when will the world end 
I cry about global warming 
I am smart and humorous 
 
I understand that I don’t understand everything 
I say if you keep at it it might come true 
I dream of someday being rich 
I try to do my best at everything

I hope that my effort will eventually pay off 
I am smart and humorous  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Look in the mirror poem 

 
When I look in the mirror what do I see? 
A smart, confident, hungry person looking back at me. 

 
I’m really good at gaming, piano, and cross country 

 
And love to read, write, and run  

 
I spend lots of time playing video games, doing homework, and 

practicing piano 
 

And can’t wait to get a PS4 
 

I could improve my drawing skills 

5

 
And focusing is hard for me 

 

Opposite poem 

 

I love sports 
I dislike homework 

 
I have a loving family 

I want a PS4 
 

My friends say I have an interesting attitude 
My family says I’m insane 
 

One day I will become an author 
I will never Become an entomologist 

 
My favorite foods are shrimp cocktail and homemade pizza 

I will never eat bugs 
 

I am sad when global warming melts the poles 
I am happy when we take measures to prevent it 

 
I am safe when I am inside

I am scared when I go camping 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Acrostic 

 

Crazy about those wrapped boxes 
Hurriedly the children run upstairs 

Run, run, run, there they go 
It is almost time for... 

Santa Claus to do his rounds 
Time for lights, time for candy, time for presents, time for 

cheer 

Much later when they’re all asleep 
A thump on the roof gives one a scare 
Santa and his reindeer have arrived

Pyramid poem 

  
Seed 
Small, insignificant 
Growing, expanding, enlarging 
It is bigger now, Will it ever stop growing?

Tanka Poem 

He knew already too much 
He knew that he knew too much 

And so, so he ran 
They came for him, after him 
He knew too much, too very much

Sensory Poem 

 
Love is red 
It sounds like birds chirping 
It tastes like a cupcake that is too sweet 
It smells like a bottle of perfume 
Love feels all to perfect to be true

Couplets 

 

Running used to make me tired 
Now when I run, I’m all fired 
 
My leg muscles used to shake 

Now stretchings a piece of cake 
  

It builds much endurance 
The happiness it gives in generous 

 
I ran a 10-minute mile 
That didn’t make me smile 

 
Now I’ve run 5 minutes 

I felt very fortunate

Haiku 
 
 
 
 
 

It trickles downward 
The river’s gentle singing 
Sends me off to sleep

Limerick 

 
Once George the dog 
Wandered into a bog 
He sat on someone’s old sock 
He ate someone’s old clock 
And ran away from the yellow-eyed frog

Mystery poem 

 
 
I went outside and what did I find 
A box to open I hope no one will mind 
 
It was tied on the top with a bow of bright yellow 
It looked to me, very old and mellow 
 
I open it up and what do I see? 

A little puppy happily staring back at me

I have a dream-poem 

I have a dream of no more global warming 
Having to actually take a walk for a chance 
 
Also being able to see the night sky in cities that never get the 

chance 
Very improbable at the state that we’re going 
Even though we are taking drastic measures 

Actually trying not just talking 
Doing things to reverse the effects 
Really just thinking before we act 
Eating less of the food that fattens us 
After we learn what they use to make it 
Maybe just having some common sense?

Opposite poem 

 

Mother Father 
Is always Is never 
Showing seeing 

hates loves 
Watching sports playing sports 

Running Tackling 
Encouraging Pushing 
Me to do my best to do more than my best 

Soft rough 
Interested Inspiring 

Sprinting Boxing 
Showing me how Encouraging me to do it myself 

Playing blocks Throwing a ball 
Hates fast food Loves whoppers 
Watching over my shoulder Watching from a distance 
She’s amazing He’s astounding 

I love her I love him
