My Simile PoemLoading...
I can be as cool as the breeze.I can as chill as a swaying palm tree.
I can be as tempered as a tiger.
I am as sweet as honey drizzle.
I can be annoying as a woodpecker.
I can be as helpful as a map
But
I can also look around to find my own like
seeking something through a telescope.

The blue jays fly high.Flapping their wings through the clouds.
They can touch the sky.
Nearby flowers bloom.
Tulips, Lillies, and roses.
All so beautiful.
Beauty all around.
Mother Nature’s art is here.
For all, to enjoy.

3My Metaphor Poem
My life is a song.
I try my best to get along.
It is a crazy mystery.
It can be hard, but not when I get my victory.
My life is a walk in a park.
I try to get home before dark.
I try my best to get along.
It is a crazy mystery.
It can be hard, but not when I get my victory.
My life is a walk in a park.
I try to get home before dark.

So I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
And You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
And You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
My Found Poem
When oceans rest in your embrace.
For my trust is without boarders.
My faith will be made stronger by my saviour.
I want to walk on the waters farther then I could ever wander.
I keep my eyes above the waves when the ocean rises.
I will call upon the ocean and my soul will rest in its embrace.
Source (what song I used): Oceans (where feet may fail).
Lyrics I used ⬇️
So I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
And You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
And You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour

My Imagery Poem
The sun is warm, like it’s hugging my shoulders.
The sky is blue with white clouds dancing like they haven’t before.
I walk more to see a leafy, clear pond with a dazzling waterfall.
The waterfall is shimmering asking me to come join it in the heavens of nature.
I hear birds chirping, it sounds calming and cheerful, like it’s giving me hope.
The trees are as green as if it was neon, the leaves fall as I walk through the trail.
The crisp air smells as if I have been here before which makes me wake up and realize,
it was all just a dream.

My Experience Poem
My Personification Poem
I hold my breath and I dive in.
The water bubbles go up, flying to the surface.
I skim the bottom of the pool like a fish.
I swim back to the top, bubbles all around.
As I rise above the water I take a gulp of air.
A turn to float on my back and watch the clouds drift away.
The warmth of the sun and the chirp of the birds are so peaceful.
The humming birds suck nectar from our feeder,
My brother and I watch in awe.
He splashes me taking away the peacefulness.
I chase him underwater but he gets to the ladder first.
I climb out after to find my water gun.
He doesn’t know I have it and I squirt him.
He looks at me in disgust and he spays me back.

Worldview joins us in a bright colourful room,
As he walks in, the room turns grey, black and dull.
I look around and find everyone under a spell.
Everyone’s attention has disappeared, leaving me alone.
He walks in with darkness, clouds of death.
When you look into his eyes he shows what things he has created, bad things.
The light dims as he creeps up to me, making everything happy disappear,
His eyes, black and deadly, they glow silver, full of sad and emptiness.
He smells like fresh smoke and ash,
It runs up your nose and makes you want to scream.
The dark room is silent, not a peep out of anyone under the spell, I am alone.
Worldview tries to wake up from the darkness people created him to be.
But everything that made him himself makes him lonely and lost.
He tries to say something, seeking attention no one looks, all to empty to speak.
He tries again this time getting my attention,
he asks for help, wanting to be free, wanting to leave the horror behind even though he knows he can’t…
You feel like its the end, like he is here to haunt you forever but all he wants is a friend and for everything to just be okay…
