Simile - Green Hats and Tea

Have a cup of tea,
She said to he,
Like a governess or a queen.
Would you like some sugar?
She asked,
Or maybe some fresh cream?
No thank you,
He politely stated,
For, he said, while you get fat,
I will be in the military,
Wearing my green hat.
Why, you are like a dog,
She replied.
So stupid like one too.
For while you're off,
Getting shot,
I'll be here.
Toodle-oo!

Alliterative - Crazy Casey

Crazy Casey, caked with crud,

Could create a cake,

With cups and caps and wrinkled maps,

It took 25 years to bake.

Limerick- O'Casey

O, there once was a man named O'Casey,
And everyone thought he was crazy,
He sang songs to a pig,
Then at church wore a wig,
He woke up with a crown made of daisies.

Cinquain - Grass

Grass
Green, tall
Waving, wilting, dying
Stretches to the sun
Plant

Haikus



Flower

Sad without water,
It wilts to the earthen dirt,
Dying of dry thirst.


Sky

Beautiful and blue,
Looms overhead like stars,
An ocean of clouds.
