Snow Plow
A Personification Poem By Elina, Noel, Chris, Jared

It cleans up the streets
like people on Earth Day.

It rumbles
like a hungry stomach.

It gulps snow…
“Gullllpp!”

It rakes
like neighbors in fall.

It has a big, yellow snout
like a monster.

“HUNGRY FOR MORE!” says the snowplow.

Kickball

Kickball
An Onomatopoeia Poem by Jared and Noel

DOOSH! BOOM! Goes the kid’s foot kicking the ball.
Whhhhhh- it soars through the air.
Boing, boing bounces the ball.
Chic, chick… I got it! OUT! OUT!
Click clack, click clack go the kids’ feet.
“It’s a foul! You’re out!”
Squeak, squeak
The kicker runs out.
Dum, dum, dum, roll… Mr. Farrell pitches the ball.
DOOM! BOOM! HOMERUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fun Snow Day

A Fun Snow Day
By Jared

I see funny, creative, silly snowmen
in the neighbor’s backyard.

We hear people warming their cars
“Vrrrrooom!”

All of us taste sweet chocolate brownies.
“Yum!”

My family smells warm nuts
at Grandma’s house.

We touch warm blankets
when it’s ten degrees outside.

My Trip to Milwaukee

December 9th, 2007

A Memoir by Jared

I went to Milwaukee. It took six hours. It was long! The trip was for my birthday.

I went in a jazz club. It was so cool when they sang “Happy Birthday” with their trumpets and their tapshoes!

They had a vanilla cake with sprinkles.

There was also an amusement park we went to. There it had a pool. I did flips. Somebody said, “Incredible dude!” The pool was ten feet.

When we were there my brother gave me a punching bag. It was a super trip!
