Etheree Poems

Pizza

Hot,
yummy,
delicious,
pizza makes me
totally hungry!
Pizza is filled with cheese.
Pizza has stolen my heart,
with its scummiest delicious taste.
I love to eat pizza all the time.
Lovely pizza layered with hot chicken.
Moiz


BFF

There's
many
things you can
do with a BFF:
In spring you can go
on a picnic or smell
the fragrant smell of the bright
dandelions swaying slowly.
In summer you can go to the hot
sunny beach and play in the water - splash
Ji Hong


Rain

Rain
rustles
upon the city.
The clouds get dark.
Flashes fill the sky.
Thunder roars through the city.
Hurricanes rage through the streets.
People should just get calm and sleep -
everyone went totally crazy!
Hurricanes and tornadoes are the worst.
Wali


Dark

Dark;
alone;
spooky night.
In a dark cave,
Fireflies around you,
buzzing in your small ear.
Bats making strange noises.
Zombies running mad after you.
Creatures everywhere rushing around you.
Bats hanging upside down looking at you.
Aghna


Pizza

Hot
pizza
has bread;
makes me hungry;
full of mushrooms and cheese.
I eat it at dinner,
and people eat it at lunch.
It is a great food for all.
I love to eat pizza all the time.
Lovely pizza fills my stomach each day.
Numair


Friend

Friend;
best friend,
Jaleesa;
play together,
every Friday night.
We have a sleepover,
we jump on my trampoline,
we watch movies and eat popcorn.
She doesn't go home when she has to,
we go outside and play with my kittens.
Haniya


Boy

The
boy who
fought for the
glory of his
fellow country men;
his nation, and its freedom.
Eye to eye with his enemy,
stood with his might and strength;
he never gave up or surrender.
He bought freedom to his people and land.
Laiba


Dinosaurs

Big,
fighting
dinosaurs
ramping through
the jungle to find
themselves some food to eat,
while others munched on green leaves.
Some starved to death in the dessert.
They fought each other for territory;
destroying everything like a monster.
Yusuf


Bees

Bees
like to
sting people.
They live in their
own hives with their friends.
They have black and yellow
stripes with four white wings to fly.
They like collect pollen from
flowers to make honey for people;
honey are healthy and good for body.
Aina


Blue Birds

Blue
birds fly
across the
beautiful sky.
I see an oak tree
with birds flying around.
Its big brown branches with leaves;
leaves fall from the big brown branches.
I can see the flow of the river,
and I can see it from my balcony.
Faateh


Winter

Fun
winter;
Fun but cold.
Hot chocolate
with marshmallows that
slowly melt in your mouth.
Snowmen and igloos made of
snow, marked with flags that say hello.
Snowball lights turn into snow angels;
hot chocolate breaks turn into movie night.
Jaleesa


New Girl

She came from Korea to Karachi.
All the girls would like her over here.
She makes us laugh and is funny.
She was wearing white and blue.
She left at snack recess;
She seems lovely,
and likes Noor best.
She's not mean,
instead
nice.
Barrah


Beach

Beach -
sunrise;
wakes us up.
The sky is clear.
Eating our breakfast,
we see the blue birds fly.
The scent of flower is good.
We want to play a game line catch.
Lets go outside and gather some people.
Finally you start to have some fun.
Tayyab


Friends

Friend;
Barrah;
my buddy.
Sweet as a rose,
screaming and playing,
with me on the playground.
Comes to my house on the balcony and
watches butterflies flutter around.
and listen to the birds chirping on the tree.
Mehreen


Shopping

Fun
Shopping;
it feels alive.
Makes me happy,
cause it is interesting.
I love the smell of shoes.
It is the best thing in the
world cause it is comfortable.
I love the malls in Dubai because they are the
best place to buy things like shoes and diamonds.
Abbas


Ninjas

Ninjas bring dinosaurs to kill evil.
Ninjas wear black bath robes to fight.
Ninjas are trained to use swords.
Have a license to kill people;
don't get sick with poison;
have secret contacts;
have no style;
partly spies.
Ninjas -
Punch!
