Dated November 1st, 2004. Free verse denoted poems I could write in any of the preceding formats, in which case I chose a limerick for all of them.
Personal Metaphor
My family is like a school computer, not running so smoothly
I am like the processor, constantly doing stuff
My Dad is like the Hard Drive, knowing random things
My Mom is like the user of the computer, telling it what to do
My brother is like dust, irritating all the other parts
and my sister is like the sound card, never stops making noises
With all this it's no wonder those stupid computers never work right.
Personification
One day I walked into a Future Shop,
The electric doors greeted me to the store,
I wanted to find a new computer,
For sure there would be one here.
I found a nice one that flew like a bird,
I asked how much it was,
but when they told me the giant figure,
I decided it wasn't the one.
I found a cheaper one,
although it had seen better days,
I decided it would have to do,
And I brought it home with me.
I set it up then pressed the switch,
And the screen came to life,
It made a little beeping sound,
As the BIOS checked the hardware.
Then everything checked out,
And the computer started starting,
It presented to me a sky-view,
With the words, “Windows 98”.
Then the screen went gray,
a long bar appeared on the bottom,
and a little picture with a title underneath it,
saying “My Computer”.
I moved the mouse and the cursor responded,
and it traveled towards the picture,
but when I pressed the button on my mouse,
something wrong happened.
The screen pained blue,
with white text all over the place,
I took the time to read it,
And to my shock, it said ”Illegal Operation”.
Rhyming Couplet
Once there was a guy named Steve,
He never seemed to be able to achieve,
For his homework was a stupid chore,
And to him it was an incredible bore.
So one day he decided not to bother doing it,
He left his homework in his bag to sit,
He sat down and went to sleep,
Not realizing he'd be in deep.
The next day arrived and he got out of bed,
But then a bad thought came to his head,
“What about the homework I didn't do?
I guess that I'm gonna be in deep doo doo.”
His assumption has correct when he got to school,
He got an infraction for being a fool,
That was five times this week which meant something bad,
A skills seminar didn't make him glad.
So he missed his lunch to go to the death trap,
The pointless grammar sheets made him wanna snap,
He thought to himself “I'll always do my homework,
after playing games and delivering hurt!”
Onomatopoeia
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The noise of a grandfather clock falling down the stairs.
Crash!
It hits the bottom of the stairs in pieces,
How this happened, only one knows.
Thanks to levers, a piece of time is in pieces,
Limerick
Once there was a cat,
he was very, very fat,
He got some glue,
put it on his shoe,
and wore it as a hat.
Free Verse 1
A car that had a flat tire,
one day caught on fire,
they put it out,
there was no doubt,
that was the end of the fire.
Free Verse 2
Once there was a kid,
There was something that he did,
He jacked a car,
drove to a bar,
He was a stupid kid.
Free Verse 3
Curtis absorbed at math,
He never takes a bath,
He's dumb as bush,
He cannot push,
but he always gets his wrath.
Free Verse 4
Miko is a man,
and he's in love with Anne,
he drank some milk,
and bought some silk,
Because that was his plan.
Free Verse 5
there once was a dude named Steve,
And he could never, ever achieve,
Forgot his work,
got a load of hurt,
before the Christmas eve.
