 * __HAIRCUT__**

Scissors flying ‘round my head, High and tight, short and close. Snip one, pull one, there it goes, Ear is bleeding!
 * (Sung to the tune of London**
 * Bridge is Falling Down)**

Trimmers buzzing like a bee, Busy hands, flying hair. Crumbs upon the barber’s chair. I feel itchy!

Here the brush comes ‘round my neck. What the heck? Powder clouds. Pay the barber. Mom is proud. I feel sneezy!


 * __CELLO__**
 * (Inventive-Clerihew Poetry)**

The Musician Yo Yo Ma, His music is not blah. I listen to his tunes On Sunday afternoons.


 * __SLUGS__**
 * (Traditional-Haiku Poetry)**

Smooth and elegant Under the green leafy plants Gnawing leaves slowly **__Trains__**
 * (Traditional-Word Cinquain)**

Trains Iron horse Chugging, steaming, screaming Shaking in my body Locomotive


 * __ELECTRICITY__**
 * (Traditional Free Verse)**

Freely it flows, Through every ones house, As quiet and quick as a scurrying mouse. Ten through one hundred in numbers of volts, Make heart-stopping jolts.


 * __Moving__**
 * (Inventive, Persuasive)**
 * (Alphabet Poetry)**

L ocating or M oving up  N orth can freeze you in   O pen air because of low temps.


 * __Earth__**
 * (Inventive, Persuasive)**
 * (Name Poetry)**

E arth is  A polluted dump. R andom acts of kindness are the kind of  T hing that will H elp our planet go Green!!


 * __Trains__**
 * (Poem for two voices)**

Trains, Trains. Chugging down the track. People boarding. People boarding at the station. Platform to platform. Platform to platform, round the world they’ll go. Trains, Trains. Oops, I missed it.
