The Nicole
ABAB Rhyme
17 lines
3 stanzas
about any living thing

Grazing in the field
Head down, eating the grass
No reason to yield
Time continuing to pass
Trees, blocking the sun like a shield
Silent like a normal school class

Running through the leaves and wood
Escaping the sound of a car
Not knowing if the intruder's intentions are good
But trying to get very far
Going as fast as it could
Away from the road and tar

Covered in thin brown hair
With a tail as white as snow
Never a spot that is bare
And antlers for show
The deer is an animal for which we should care

Haiku

1st draft

Breathing in and out

Feeling the ground underneath

Speeding by the others

2nd draft

Left foot after right

Speeding up, pain swelling up

Pushing till the end

Final

Inhale, stride, exhale

Feet flying through the terrain

Going for the best

Poem

Homework is the Worst

Homework is such a chore

It really is a complete bore

Sitting at home doing lots of math

Instead of being with friends, having a laugh

Homework is such a buzzkill

The act has no thrill

Can't have any sort of fun

Until the deed is done

Homework is such a pain

Always so dismal and plain

You must have no brain in your dome

If you enjoying taking school to your home

Synecdoche

You are difficult to maintain. I lose you when I speed up but regain you when I slow down. You muffle the sounds around me, including the pounding of my feet on the ground. I have less of you when I am sick. However, you are one of the most important aspects of my ordeal. The oxygen you give keeps me going.
