Pencil Sharpener: A Personification Poem

By Dalvin and Aaron

I have teeth that gobble up pencil lead

I make the sound of a person chewing carrots

Crrrunch, Crrrunch…

I have an arm like a pitcher

winding up in baseball-

ready to sharpen!

My pencil sharpener holder

throws up the shavings

like a person with an upset stomach.

I have 8 mouths like a monster

eating up pencils and grinding them up

The pencil sharpener says, “I’M HUNGRY! GIVE ME MORE!!!”

Snowplow: A Personification Poem

By Serena and Natalie

I split out salt like a salt shaker.

I clean snow like a cleaning lady.

I sweep it aside,

Making little mountains of snow

for kids to jump in.

I am like a broom-

My job is to sweep up the snowy mess.

Once I’m done, the streets are clear

And kids can back to school.

“Ohhh man!”

I am a snowplow.

Stapler: A Personification Poem

By Cris, Manny and Jessica

I can stitch paper together

Like a doctor stitching patients.

I have sharp, metal teeth

That bite through the paper.

I eat lots of paper at one time

Like a baby shoving Cheerios in his mouth.

I am a stapler.

Vacuum: A Personification Poem

By James, Samantha, Atesh, and Xavier

A vacuum is like a cleaning lady robot.

A vacuum is like Danny Tanner on Full House saying,

“Don’t walk on the carpet! I just finished cleaning!”

It munches and gobbles up crumbs and dust bunnies!

HmmmmGrrrrrrHmmmmGrrrrr…

Growling at dirt

Plug me in and watch me go!
