5Th Grade Poems

Premium Membersheila lives in more than one world

Sheila lives in more than one world, traveling with delight
Yesterday she was in the Orient, flying a gorgeous Japanese kite
Today she traveled down the Amazon, petting black pumas on her way
An avid reader, Sheila journeys a new world, each and every day

Every book she opens is a potential notch off her bucket list.
Today a faerie

Premium Memberthe spoon is the wise one

the fork thought the knife and spoon were against her
A conspiracy was in the works, their mission impure
She used her ring finger and accused them of a conspiracy
The spoon pointedly ignored her and stirred up his green tea

The knife was not as wise as the spoon and argued most of the day
It seemed to give

Premium Memberoverfed rooster

overfed rooster had a harem of eight little hens
they brought his feed, as he sat on his whims
fattened him up, so that he started to look like a hulk.
He demanded cranberry juice, and they brought it in bulk

It is their fault I am getting bigger he told the goat next door.
They are always bringing me

Premium Memberrainbow zebra

rainbow zebra was outrageously out
he pranced and wiggled his tail about
proud of his quirky ways and his unique design
a quintessential artist; I am glad he is mine.

Premium MemberAt the park

Waving daisies, Spikey grass.
Tree branch swords and running fast.

Collecting stones, spider's and worms. 
A tire swing with new friends,
We're taking in turns!

Close your eyes, do not peek. 
Count to ten,  play hide and seek.

Some have seesaws, most have slides, 
My favourite are the bars to climb. 

Mum packed snacks, picnic munch
Parks are great to

Premium MemberUFO chased us into the sixties

in 1966 the UFOs were so plentiful they chased us town to town
Back when our mothers vacuumed in pearls and an evening gown.
We were terrified we would be lifted up and probed unmercifully.
I think I feared UFOs and alien surgeries until about 1973.

Premium MemberBragging Charlotte

Charlotte the fancy hippo put on airs all the time
her clock was better than most, it had a lovely chime
She had the fanciest laces on her pantaloons, for sure.
Charlotte confided that she had sweet smelling manure

Some believed her but others knew much better.
We had smelled her gas through her jeans and sweater.
Today she is on

Premium MemberSteampunk Turtle

steampunk turtle became an Uber right away
He transported four happy riders on Wednesday
Taking them to see sights they had never seen
Past a troll and tiger, who were both rather mean

We should have done this years ago a little one said
If that tiger got us, we would surely be most dead
I was not invented until a

Premium MemberMosquito Tries to Get Me

mosquito tries to get me
he divebombs my ear
is he a kamikaze pilot?
I try to kill him but miss
He zips down to my shirt
I hit my hands together and clap
confident I got him that time
I didn’t
How strange that I cannot cream this little sucker

I Got Energy Always from Your Verse

Your words arrive like dawn’s first flame,
A gentle spark, yet never tame.
They touch the chords I guard with care,
And lift my soul through open air.

The maps I hide, the dreams I keep,
Awake within me from their sleep.
Your verse reminds me light must flow,
To those whose hearts will help it grow.

I see the mirrors you have

Premium Membersallys boots

Sally’s boots were classy and colorful indeed
She had worn them to play outside with her steed
Better than any fashion boots you would ever need
pinks, reds, lime greens, turquoise and mustard seed.

The only problem is that they were a bit too fancy
Designed by her three sisters Flo, Janice and Nancy.
The silver tassels kept tripping her up,

Premium Memberfrog musician

the trombone had never been more appreciated or loved
frog dressed up in his best striped pants, his hands well gloved
took the instrument to the bog and began to play a merry tune
the evening was lightened by the brilliant light of the harvest moon

kinfolk had no idea how talented he was, their relative, Chay
his own mother

a day like other days

A day like other days

She, leaving the bus, had forgotten the umbrella
Strolls, her face is more African now
She has a walking stick, says it is for her balance
My love for her has grown over the years
I cannot think of the time we were apart before
We met twenty-two years ago.
We have Christmas Day here, but the
