What To Do If You Are . . . Poems

What to do if you are the prey...
Run far away
Find a hiding place
Watch out for traps
Defend yourself
Camouflage in the area around you
Amanda



Things to do if you were a brown bear...
Scratch fur
Use claws to hunt
Eat nuts, berries and honey
Be quick at night
Eat salmon
Hibernate in the winter
Sleep in a cave.
Brandon


What to do if you were Weather...
Make vast floods when it rains a lot
Bounce off the ground as hail
Make heavy snow on the ground as hail
Demolish miles of land as a Tsunami
Make thunder storms as humidity
Terrify people as thunder
Strike houses as a lightening bolt
Fluctuate as hot and could temperatures.
Brynn


Things to do if were a bear...
Growl and roar to scare away predators
Hibernate in the cold bitter winter
Be a scavenger look for a tasty spring meal
Go hunting for a tasty summer snack
Be scary; show your teeth
Go fishing in the sparkling lake
Cheyenne


Things to do if I were a toad...
Hop in tall grass to get to the water
Lay hundreds of eggs
Sit on a rock to get warm
Catch and eat bugs with a long sticky tongue
Stay away from humans to be safe
Collin


Things To Do If You Were A Rattle Snake...
Hiss at people
Hide under ground
Slither around in the sand
Bite people with venomous fangs
Stick out fork shaped tongue and rattle tail Simeon


Things to do if you were a rock at the bottom of the pond...
Sink to the bottom of the pond
Get warmed by the sun
Hold things down
Break windows
Hurt your feet
Roll around
Stay in place.
Matt


What to do if you are a tree...
Give people shade
Bloom in the spring
Make food for myself
Give people air to breath
Reproduce or let go of seeds
Drop leaves off my branches in the fall.
Andrew


If you were a tree...
Make shade for people that are hot in the summer
Make oxygen for people to live
Good trunk for a sailboat
Brown
yellow leaves in the fall
Help make a habitat for animals
Bark for making paper
Grow syrup for yummy pancakes.
Chelsea


Things to do if you were a mountain lion...
Eat people when I am really hungry
Scare people by growling
Rip animals apart and eat them
Stalk my prey
Leap on mountain goats
Growl at enemies.
Dylan


What to do if you were a rainbow...
Fill the sky with color
Smile upside down
Chase away the rain
Pave the way for the sun
Make people smile
Give people hope
Restore dreams
Hide the gold.
Erika


What to do if you are a tiger...
Play with the leaves
Run in the wild to get food
Chase the other animals to play
Have black, orange and white stripe
Roll in the grass when you are happy.
Jessica


Things to do if you were a tree...
Grow a little taller everyday
Block the wind when itÕs windy
Grow food or sometimes just flowers
Sway in the wind
Have my leaves fall off in the fall
Get struck by lightening
Get climbed on by kids.
Katie


What to if you are a leaf...
Flow in the air
Glide near the ground
Stay in the tree on a dark night
Turn ripe green or orange then fall to the ground
Be the tallest of all
Let kids jump on me.
Kyle


What to do if you are a horse...
Run fast and jump high
Eat sugar cubes and an apple
Race in a horse race
Neigh to my rider if something is wrong
Sleep in my stall
Train my colt to follow me.
Lauryn


Things to do if you were a flower...
Germinate and make a lifespan
Grow into the most beautiful plant
Smells 10,000,000 times as good
Be more colorful and prettier than anything in the world
Have pollen for bees to pollinate
Decorate people's gardens
Help make food and air.
Sabrina


Things to do if you are a Magnet...
Stick to paper clips and other metal things
Attract a compass needle
Attract and repel
Hold artwork on the refrigerator
Help machines run (like the MRI ).
Sarah


What to do if you were a shark...
Eat lots of fish
Have gills to breath underwater
Swim very fast
Rip things to shreds
Be mean and not care about it
Have lots of razor sharp teeth
Scare lots of people by opening my mouth.
Tommy


Things to do if you were a hamster...
Run on your wheel
Drink water
Eat lettuce, carrots, and hamster pellets
Sleep in a mini house
Cuddle up with your owner
Be a pet for someone
Make homes in deep and complex tunnels.
Wes
