Random Bits of Poetry

We are studying poetry in school right now. Here are 2 poem I wrote at school.

Bath Time Blues

I'm five years old, I'm big and brave.
My bed's a rock, my house a cave!
I'll battle a lion, I'll battle a shark!
I'm not afraid of the dark! 
Or the monsters who hide in my closet to eat
Me after I've fallen fast asleep.
I'm not afraid of you at all! 
Go take a hike! Go to the mall!
Go east or west! Take any path!
 but I refuse to take a bath!


Passing Time 

I'm watching the minute hand move on the clock. 
I'm hearing the music of ticking and tocks.
Every day time moves so fast, 
but now I am counting the minutes go past.
Shh! I am watching the hands on the clock.

I'm watching the sun sail through the sky. 
I'm smiling at clouds as they float by. 
Every day, time moves so fast
But now I am counting the minutes go past.
Shh! I am watching the sun in the sky.

I'm watching my green garden grow.
I'm caring for seeds that I sow.
Every day time moves so fast, 
But now I am counting the minutes go past.
Shh! I am watching my green garden grow.
