The Last Day of School

It was the last day of school

And I felt so free

It was time for summer

The sun is so hot I feel like my body heat is 1,000.3 degrees

There were only 20 minutes left

I felt like jumping out of my seat

The sun looked as big as the earth

We all felt the heat

School was almost out

It was time to have fun

We’ll go to 1,000 beaches

To play in the sun

2 minutes left on the clock

School is almost done

We are all hoppin' and floppin'

When the bell rang we all were out of there like a shot of a gun

School is finally over

It felt like it was a 1,000 years

While my friends and I walk home

I asked should I yell NO MORE HOMEWORK so everybody hears

That’s One Big Dog!!!

There was a 50 feet Chihuahua

He chased me the other day

The dog barked out fire

It burned me that way

It threw me around like a rag doll

I think I almost died

It kept trying to eat me

All I could do was hide

I hid in the bushes

But it sniffed me out

So I hid in its cave

But that made me pout

I said “man what a monster!!!”

I thought I was about to die

Then it gobbled me up

I never said good-bye

Inside its belly

I found my dad

He said there was a way out

So I was glad

The Day I Went Into The Past

It was raining cats and dogs

And I was in school

We were doing math

And math is so not cool

I went out to my locker

And opened it so fast

The whole school twirled around

And went into the past

Everyone screamed so loud

Both my ears fell off

Dirt came up from the ground

And made me have to cough

After spending years there

The Earth twirled again

It took about 3 hours

And we were back at ten

When I got home that day

I ran into my house so fast

I told my mom the story

Of how I went into the past

The Baseball Storm

I am really worried

That I have to pitch

I try a billion times

But it lands in a ditch

I pick up the ball

And throw it really hard

It flies a thousand feet

But hits a biker’s shin-guard

It flies a gazillion miles

And hits a giant plane

I guess the clouds are sad

Because it’s starting to rain

We all duck for cover

Because baseballs are starting to fall

I guess baseball this year

Isn’t fun at all

I get really mad

So I make a run for it

I wasn’t looking closely

And fell in a thousand foot pit

My Little Puppy

I bought a little puppy

She was as big as a Tiger

I didn’t know what to name her

So I named her Liger

One day after school

She ate everything in my room

I looked everywhere for her

Then I heard a boom

As I followed the gigantic noise

I saw her lying down

Even though she was so cute

All I could do was frown

Then she started crying

I didn’t know what to do

So I got 10,000 bones

She ate them all before I knew

Every day after that

All she ate was everyone’s clothes

Why she does this

Nobody will know

The Project

I had to do this project,

In third grade I should say,

We had to do it over the summer,

And my brain flew out and said Hey!

It’s the first day of vacation,

I didn’t know what to do,

A fire at McDonalds,

Bye-bye project… oh poo

I tried to start it over,

Right before we left,

I had no other choice,

but to commit a project theft

It’s the last day of vacation,

And I just got back today,

My project’s due tomorrow,

And steam coming out of my ears… no way!

When I got back to school,

I couldn’t stand those words,

I got an F on the project,

and then I saw birds

The Absolute No Doubt About It Worst Thing In The World

Gym oh dreadful gym

Why can’t you be fun

Slides, crunches, sprints, gallops

We sweat all day and lift a ton

Gym oh boring gym

We skip, jog, and run

Over and over

It’s life threatening not to have fun

Gym oh crimeful gym

It’ll mess up my hair

Everyday all day

I’ll have a heart attack… not fair

Gym oh scary gym

I am scared of heights

I don’t want to climb

Before you hung me on a kite

Gym oh awful gym

Add another two

To my gym no likers

Although I’m getting used to you

Hyperbole Poems

This page was last updated on: October 22, 2015

As we continue to explore forms of poetry, we found creating Hyperbole poems to be an exciting way to review this type of figurative language, showing great exaggeration. We created our 20 line poems following a distinctive rhyming pattern, demonstrated clear understanding of hyperbole, and added our own creativity and humor.

The Biggest Foot

One day I was watching a basketball game

Then I saw the hugest shoe

But the person who was wearing it was small

And his foot is bigger than you

So the player was signing autographs

And he can barely fit in the mall

Then all these people came

Because his foot was bigger than them all

One day people were crowding him at the game

He was using his foot as a charm

To get people to like him more

But his foot is 100x bigger than your arm

But when he was at the stadium

His foot couldn’t fit on the court

So he had to go back to his house

And his foot let out a big snort

But sadly when he got back to his mansion the worst thing happened

The player got taller than his house

But when he looked down at his foot

It was no bigger than a mouse

My Pet Tiger’s Jobs

I have a pet tiger

My pet tiger was a plumber

One day he got all wet

Then he quit… what a bummer

So my tiger went to an ice cream shop

To try to get the job

Then my pet tiger got hired

By the boss named Bob

My tiger made Bob mad by getting fur in the ice cream

Then Bob yelled you’re fired

So my tiger sadly left

And said I really want to get hired

My tiger seemed so sad like he’d lost all his hope

I said don’t worry you’ll find a job soon

So I took him to the circus

And my tiger got a job of making kids a balloon

Then my tiger looked so happy making kids' balloons

My tiger did so good it became his permanent career

He smiled so wide

It stretched from ear to ear
