Extending a Metaphor into a Poem

In our second lesson of our Poetry Unit, our students learned how to write a metaphor and a similie.

As an exercise, they were asked to extend their figurative comparisons and write their very first poem.

Friendship by Matthew Yam 4(A)

Friends are the kind

shelter in the storm. 

They protect us every time

wherever we go. .

Friendship by Athena Tsui 5(F)

Friendship is like birds playing around,

Sometime they are fighting and sometimes they share,

But mother nature can tell that they are a great pair.

Friendship by Boaz Yim 5(C)

Friendship is like a burning fire,

A fire that never will be put out.

Friendship is like a raindrop,

That can drop through a pebble.

Friendship by Myra Leung 4(G)

Friendship is like seasons.

Sometimes you feel warm,

Sometimes you feel cold.

No matter what it is,

it’s always around us.
