What Does Wednesday Feel Like?

Does a Saturday Morning Feel Like a Wednesday afternoon? The answer is absolutely not, and we had a lively discussion about why this week! We read Fransico Alarcon’s On Monday’s I Feel Like A Dragon, a poem where he uses personification and metaphor to illustrate how his emotions change throughout the day. We talked about how we could use similes and metaphors to talk about our own emotions. Lazy sloths, excited cheetahs, sleepy bears, angry volcanos were some of the imaginative comparisons students  came up with during our discussion. Then they got to work on their own poems about how they feel on different days of the week, or even times of the day. I really enjoyed reading these poems, and hope you do too. Congrats to this week’s published poets!

On a Regular Friday Olivia M.

On a regular Friday and

my alarm sounds like a siren

(6:20) am feel like a chihuahua

that’s telling Ryan what to do. 

 

Friday afternoon I’m a rose

with all 

it’s thorns and beautiful 

red petals. 

 

Later that day I feel like an 

excited squirrel because I get a 

Saturday but at the same time

Feeling Like An Animal Jeffrey

It’s a Monday

I wake up 

like a 

volcano erupting

 

Also I am 

like a snapping turtle

when I have

to go to school

 

And my mood 

changes when 

me and my

friends talks. 

 

Also, I am like 

an excited monkey.

On Mondays 

I walk to class

we’ve gone slow-mo 

(time goes by slow)

 

PE ended

I’m as slow

as a sloth

 

My homework

being hunted

by my shark teacher. 

 

At noon

my talk is like 

a dolphin’s scream.
