For today, take this starter poem and see what you can do. You can use idioms, similes, metaphors, repetition, action verbs, imagery, onomatopoeia, or anything else you can think of to make your poem great.

I walked down the hall
very slowly
because my name was called
to come to the office.

I walked down the hall at a snail's pace because my name was called to the office and right then I knew I was going to be in a pickle.

I slumped down the hall very slowly like a turtle because my name was called to come to the office on my way down I thought I might be in a pickle.

I went down the hall
very slowly like a snail
because my name was called
to go to the office as I was walking down
I realized I was going to be in a pickle

I walked down the hall
slower than the worlds slowest turtle
because I was called to the office
At that moment I knew
they where going to make me let the cat out of the bag

I shake a leg down the hall as I hear my name being called to go to the office.

Then I suddenly realize someone let the cat out of the bag.

As I walk into the office I realize I'm in a pickle.

My mom is standing there in the doorway telling me to shake a leg.

I know I'm going to be in for the heat of the moment.

I walked down the hallway being a snail
with no slime because my name was called
to come the lion at school.

I was reading my book in Mrs. Barthamus class and my name was called to the OFFICE.
I was walking to the office as quite as the wind
as I approached the OFFICE doors. I put my
hand out to open the door but my eyes were
insane I kept missing the door the keep getting
farther and farther away and then everything
went BLACK.

I was walking as slow as a sloth down the hall because my name was called to the OFFICE (duh duh duhhhh) my brain was in knots trying to figure what the wanted
I finally got to the OFFICE
I was scared of my own shadow once I walked in

I walked down the hall like a turtle

Because I was called to the pen

For solitary confinement

For giving the teacher a heart attack

And embarrass a kid

His face was so red it set the school

On fire

andrew said...

I strolled down the hall
Slower than a herd of snails traveling through peanut butter
Because they hollered my name
To go to the office

I walked down the hall
as slow as I can
because my name was called
to come to the dungeon.
I see people on my left
and people on my right
they all have a face on that was full of fright.

It was a day like any other
until the office called my name
thenmy heart droped like a bowling ball
from a 50 foot skyscraper I walkedthrew the halls like a snail on salt
or a dog on Ice
I got there It was for a good reason
not bad when I walked in
they were waiting for me at the door
and they bursted like a cannon with
excitement because it was my birthday
then I felt like my soul and spirit

Nicholas said...

When I walked in my room
I kept hearing noises
I checked all over my room and there was nothing
But there was one more place the closet
I opened the door and there was my brother
I got all mad my face got red
I had steam coming out of my ears
My brother said you woke up on the wrong side of the bed didn't you because you are all mad
I said no get out of my room
I am mad enough my head could pop off
But he didn't listen
I will chase you down till you run out of steam
I will beat you up until I feel like stopping
You might say stop but I don't care
I will hurt you wherever we are I really don't care
Now leave my room or I will do what I said
So he left but slowly like a snail

Drew said...

I tiptoed down the hall
very slowly like a snail in mud
because I herd my name called
to go to the principle palace
my heart beating like drums
I walked down the empty hallway like nothing was there
when I got to the door my heat was beating faster and faster
like a cheetah running for its pray
I turned the handle like there was no tomorrow
I walked in
everybody was quiet like a mouse on Christmas eve.

I walked down the hall of the school
very slow and quiet
because I got called to the office.
I didn't know why.
I just walked, and walked and walked till I finally reached the door.
I twisted the handle and just dove in there without saying a word.
I sat on the bench by the door
and I thought.
I wonder why I'm in here,
then the principal came to me
and said to "come with me".
I was over thinking and didn't know what to do.
When he finally said something
it was "Your student of the month".
I just froze there and said " OH MY GOSH!",
and I talked my head off about it.
He just smiled and gave me a paper that said
I was student of the month.
I was so happy I could scream!
