The sounds of New York!�
Car motors buzzing, horns beeping,
People walking, customers talking,
Dogs barking, crowds cheering,
These are the sounds of the city.

A Couple of Couplets
I have massive measles and monstrous mumps,
a really, rotten rash and purple bumps
You say today is...supreme Saturday?
Goodbye, I'm going out to play pretend puppets in May!
So precious are true friends who lend their ears,
And give their time to wipe away sad tears.
My March Break was so much fun!
I love to skip and run.
She was a little tense,
because she received a library notice that didn’t make any sense
The first page has a minimum of 5 strong couplets. Oh look, the background is also coloured!
Ode to Basketball, A quatrain fit for Michael Jordan
Basketball is not boring,
Dribbling, shooting and scoring.
The only way to play
Is winning all the way!
On the BACK of the couplet page is one strong quatrain. Wow those detailed visuals really enhance the meaning of the poem!

Sick of School
I told my mom that I have the Finnish flu,
I’m too lazy to put on my stinky shoe.
I broke my jaw,
Actually, I may have broke the law!
My head is aching something fierce, my lips are damp and dry,
I think I broke the right side of my eye.
If I go to school I will feverishly faint,
Because of this splitting headache.
Yesterday my friend told me we’re going to have a tsunami! �... What, what’s that mommy?
I’m on vacation. It’s March Break?! Welp, never mind!
Free Form Poem Example
My family lives inside a medicine chest;
Dad is the super-size band-aid, strong and powerful
Mom is the middle-size tweezer, which picks and pokes and pinches
David is the single small aspirin on the third shelf, sometimes ignored
Muffin, the sheep dog, is a round cotton ball, stained and dirty, that pops off the shelf and bounces in my way as I open the door.
And I am the wood and glue which hold us all together with my love
My Family Is
