Free Verse poem

I chose to write about the playground that I used to play in because I recently drove by passed it and decided to take a look at it.

Everything was so different as I figured it would but to my surprise something still remained the same and it was a little plastic hippo that I used to love riding on.

Little Red Plastic Hippo

 

The playground I grew up playing in

It used to be so simple

It was a small sand box with two swings and a little red plastic hippo

The last time that I played in it I must have been ten

That was fourteen years ago and now it’s really different

The two swings turned to four and the sand box got much bigger

A whole new playground took its place because it used to be so simple

It now has slides, monkey bars, and an entire little water park

My childhood playground is gone and a new one took its place

But something still remained the same

and that was my little not so red anymore little plastic hippo

These poems are  a Haiku's

As I was walking to class I noticed for the first time in a long time that the leaves on the trees were turning into autumn colors and well that's how I decided the topic of my Haiku. Nature lets us know what season we're in by changing certain things and well right now Autumn is here and nature lets us know by changing the colors of the leaves on trees.

With changing in seasons

Leaves turn red, orange, and brown

Autumn's finally here

Second Haiku


Delicate flower

Playing with the wind

Autumn perfume
