English 8 Metaphor Poems

By Raelyn Stump

I am fire

I’m small but bright,

I warm the dark, I light the night.

When you laugh, I start to glow,

A quiet spark you might not know

I might appear for a good show

Maybe at a beach or across the night sky

But when it’s time for a good bye

I’ll sure make it a blast

By always being massed

I’m always ablaze

Receiving praise every glaze

I am fire.

By Myles Kunkle 

I Am An Ocean

I am an ocean, deep and wide,

With strength and motion like the tide.

I move so fast when I play ball;

On the court I give my all.

I run so fast on the field.

In soccer games I’m like a shield.

My waves are strong, but I am smart,

I think things through and play my part.

I grow an learn a little more,

Like waves that reach the shore.

I am the ocean strong and true:

Still finding out what I can do.

By Ryder Olson

I am An Ocean

The ocean is really blue,

It stretches out like I never knew.

The waves crashed loud on the shore,

Then you hear the waves some more.

Seagulls scream when they fly around,

Their shadows race over the wet, cold ground.

The water feels cold when it hits my feet,

Then runs away like it's trying to retreat.

I think the oceans keeps secrets deep,

Of things it's seen while were asleep.

I stand and watch and feel kinda small,

The oceans feels like the biggest of all.

By Madelyn A. Perna

I am a running river

I am like a river;

Though my mind moves in a sliver.

I am not so tall, for the time I remain small,

For there is not much space in sprawl.

Over and down,

I dip around my crown.

But soon the ground will wear,

And soon I feel I can swear.

As I can feel the soil eroding deeper,

And the ground is growing steeper.

Soon I know there will be no debris,

And I will grow strong and flow free.
