Hey!

Hey, Earthquake!
Your powerful arms
spare-tackles me like Batista
and scares the hell out of me
I don’t like that!

Hey, Thunder!
Your loud voice
Roars like a lion
makes me shiver like a leaf
I don’t like that!

Hey, Hurricane!
Your many strong arms
Spinning like bayblades
Hitting everything in its path
I don’t like that!

Hey, Volcano!
Your temperature is rising
Your blood is boiling
You spit out fire
I don’t like that!

Hey!

Limerick by Kassidy

There once was a boy called Mark
Who always played at the park
He went to get some lunch
Then he gave a boy a punch
And that was the end of Mark

Cinquain by Zane

Dog
Naughty, playful
Barking, wagging, fetching,
Makes me smile
Friend

Limerick by Zane

There once was a boy named Jake
Who liked to bake a cake
He messed up the kitchen floor
Mum threw him out the door
And that was the end of Jake

Tanka by Johnnie

Hurricanes are strong
Hurricanes are big splashes
Hurricanes are big
Hurricanes make giant floods
Hurricanes last for a week
