FANTASTIC METAPHOR POEMS BY YEAR 5, CHALFONT VALLEY SCHOOL

Yesterday I had a fantastic time working with KS2 classes at Chalfont Valley, which is part of the E-ACT Academy chain where I am poet-in-residence. In Year 5 we wrote metaphor poems. I asked pupils to think of a person (or animal!) they love and admire, and to describe them using metaphors. I am thrilled to be able to share three lovely poems that were produced. Enjoy!

You Are by Phoebe

You are my bed

covering me with a sheet

You are my music

moving me to the beat

You are my teddy bear

I can hold you really tight

You are my books

making sure that every word is right

You are my headphones

enjoying all the sounds

you are my school

sometimes I can’t leave your grounds

You are my popcorn

always have something for the movie

You are my dance floor

you make me want to boogie

You are my sun

you are shimmering with shine

You are my rose

you feel like my heart’s divine

My Mummy by Mimi

You are my sun

Shining bright on me

You are my bed

Keeping me snuggly and warm

You are my moon

Shining at night in my room

You are my world

Keeping me safe

From the ooglie booglies

You are my everything

Keeping me safe

When I am sleeping

Wuff Wuff by Leo

You are my alarm

Keeping me alert

You are my bed

Keeping me safe

You are my PS4

Making time go by

You are my watch

Keeping me informed

You are my cup of tea

Keeping me warm

You are my chihuahua dog

And I love you

The way you are.
