Simile/Metaphor Poems

Friends

Metaphor/Simile Poem

Reagan Meador

Friends are like flowers

At first, they’re like the bulb.

Just another seed

But sometimes,

They’ll open up to you,

And start a colorful friendship.

Sometimes they leave you,

Like the withering of the color,

But you’ll always find

Another

Society

Metaphor/Simile poem

Alexis Green

Society is a dark hole

Waiting for its next victim to fall,

There is no escaping it,

It is nothing more than a big bully

Waiting for everyone to fall down

Until it’s the last one standing

Nothing can stop it

Not because it is unstoppable

But because as people are society

We are the cruel dark, hole

Waiting for someone to make a

Mistake,

So we can point them out

I WILL STAND AGAINST THIS!

Poems of Address

Tattoos

By: Taylin Adams

Pretty line paper,

How do you deal with the pain,

How can you still even pay?

You skin is so smooth,

Even with tattoos,

Some with pen and even glue!

Mr. Clock

By: Emily Whalen

Mr. Clock why are you

Timing me

Are you in a hurry

Do you want to go home faster

You may not like your job

But at least you have a job (sort of a hobby)

You may not know this but you’re

Needed everywhere

Without you

We won’t be there

So thank you Mr. Clock

Hey Serpent

By:  Noah McComb

Hey serpent

You’re so slick and sly

You’re faster than that fly

You look like a kit in the sky

Hey serpent

Look at you, scaring those sailors

I bet you’re doing fearsome favors

Under the water you look so clean

You actually don’t look that mean

Hey serpent

With the big blue eyes

Those sailors are tellin’ some lies

They are scared, just like you feel

If only they knew you were just an eel

Mr. Bird

By: Shannon Sullivan

Excuse me Mr. Bird,

How do you fly?

Why do you squawk?

Is it because you don’t live on the block?

What is your favorite food?

Is it worms?

Is it bugs?

Or do you eat some Chinese food instead?

I have one last question

And my question is this . . .

Why don’t you have shoes

On your little cold feet?

Seahawk Flying High

By: Gavin Cook

Look you blue and grey

Soaring high above Seattle Washington

Scouting our your pray

And going to football games

Look at you and blue and grey

Dear Dad,

By: Shelbee Justice

You’re big and tough

But you have a heart

As pure as gold

Your smile shines bright

But your eyes are

Sad and cold

You’ll always protect me

Even when I don’t need it

I may meet a prince

But you’re always

My king

Opposite Poems

There’s Light in the Dark

By: Ian Horner

You must be sad

To then be happy

See the dark

And turn it to light

Take your pain

And make it power

Live a day

In an hour

To Sweet

By: Taylin Adams

Laying flat

But standing tall

You want to be strong

But you’re too weak

Life is sour

But you are sweet

Enigma

By: Coelbren Chapter

The noblest name

In Allegory’s page,

The hand that traced

Inexorable rage,

A pleasing moralist

Whose page refined,

Displays the deepest

Knowledge of the mind.

Goodbye Butterfly Poems

Goodbye Sweet Butterfly

For the good times we

Death after all, claims everyone

So I guess it

Goodbye

I Didn’t Return

By: Cameron England

                                                         

My life may have

Ended here in

Auschwitz

But you need to

 Know my life wasn’t

Too Well

Here in Auschwitz

Killing yelling

Sometimes

Even people fighting

Too hard

Too sad

For me

Mirsolav Korsek

Sill I Rise Poems

Still I Live

By: Casey Stophel

I know you want me gone

But I am hear to stay

Even though death is staring

Me in the face

I’m not scared

Even though you believe

I’ll make it through with or without you

Don’t comfort me now

You’ve said what you needed

To say

Now death is staring you in the face

Now I’ve said what I needed to say

As I

Live

I Live

I Live

Rise

By: Rocket Smith

You can make me vilify you can tantalize and despise but

 I will rise I see your hatred in your eyes

With your mouth of lies

But I will rise

You say I’m lethargic but I say I’m credible

Not edible

And agile also have a great sense of style and

I will rise

Your very malicious not vivacious

I’m not perturbed

Just leave me be do not disturb

I will rise

Because all of your words saying

I cant, I wont, I will never,

Is my fuel emboldening me

I will rise

I will rise

I will rise

I am nothing what are you , do you not

I’m nobody who are you (hunger games tribute)

By: Esau Carlisle

I’m a boy who are you

We have visions of our future life

But in the end one will survive

It’s all part of the game I don’t want to die

I am Different.  Who are you?

By: J’Angelica Abney

I am different! Who are?

Are you different too?

Then we are two different- it’s

Our little secret

They’d shun us- you

Know what I’m talking about!

It’s not that bad to be, different

It’s also not that good to be normal.

Please don’t say who I am

And I won’t tell who you are.

I am

By: Elizabeth Watkins

I am an artist who are you?

Are you an artist too?

Of course you are! You can draw a perfect circle!

You can mix paint to get purple.

You can sculpt anything out of clay.

You’ll design anything anyway.

You’re an artist just like me!

Can we work together please?

I Am Nobody.  Who are you?

I am nobody who are you?

are you nobody too?

they say they can't see me cry

but i bet if they looked closer

they could see the tears falling

like rain drops

they say be yourself

but in return they judge me

we can be nobody together

forever
