My Time at Home - Maya
The wheels on the bus go through the mud, splatter!
Just like a whisk steering through cookie batter.
When the bus comes to a stop,
My ears make a loud pop!
I leave the bus and go into my house,
Where I witness something, it’s a mouse!
I am hungry now, time for a snack.
I wonder when my mom will come back?
The phone rings,
The door dings.
My mom’s on the phone,
With a funny tone!
I begin to wonder who is at the door.
Oh, who cares, too busy to check, my leg’s sore.
I look out the window at the birds,
Then down at my paper filled with words.
I am writing some couplets for school,
Oh how I wish to be in the pool.
My homework is done.
Guess it’s time for some fun!
My mom has finally reached home.
I guess it’s the end of the poem!

You’ve done an excellent job of rhyming - not just word families like ’snack-back’, but with auditory rhymes like ‘birds-words’ and ‘done-fun’! A nice image of your afternoon!!
