5th Grade 2006 Niņos Poetry Winners
(A Metaphor Poem)
by Sonia M.
Black is a lonely, flowing
funeral dress that brings only
sadness to innocent
families......
It is the color that is as ripe and murky as a
mouth-watering
Blackberry.....
Black is the swarming heat of a ghastly fire,
swiftly burning out
Mother Nature's beauty....
It is a protective as a vulture's mesmerizing cry, but as soft and delicate as a hummingbird's glistening wings.....
Black is a wolf's desperate cry to the
vivid twilight, grieving for its lifeless
world......
Homework
(A Simile Poem)
by Kellie S.
Homework is like a hurricane disaster.
My
assignments swirl
around my head
like a funnel cloud.
Worksheets flood me with frustration.
I'm
suffocating
and exhausted.
Too much homework is overwhelming and...
Like a
vacuum cleaner,
it sucks the fun out of my day!
Crying
by Priya M.
Casting away little rain drops
Running down your soft cheek
Yet I feel little pain
I want to scream, I want to kick
Nothing can cure this feeling I have inside
Getting drained from inside out
