 Bio-Poem

Me

Maryam,

Pure and Chaste, in all measures and in Gods language, the mother of a miracle.

Furry, white, yellowish, smoky grey Snow Leopard,

Safe, warm, adorable snuggle.

Quran - Gives gives my heart rest,

strengthen, answers, blessings and good health.

Printed on my head is Muslim

Following my religion Islam is my life

The most beautiful sight that I love is the Kabah

It is the palace of my Lord.

The worst sight ever is the dump,

Where all the garbage is being disposed.

My hands would like to stretch very long

So I can grab things from very far

I remember wanting to grow up very badly

When I was a child

Now I want to be helper to everyone.

 Lament Poem

Why Didnt You Say Something?

They told me about you all this time

About how you never committed a single crime

Yet they still punished you for nothing

I dont know why you didnt say something

You cared about your brothers, you were very kind

Even though they didnt and were stuck in their own mind

Yet they still punished you for nothing

I dont know why you didnt say something

Now you are gone, and away from them all

Away from evil, pain and anything that would make you fall

Yet they still punished you for everything

Now I know why you didnt say something

 Limerick Poem

The Moth and The Cloth

There once was a moth

Who liked to play with a cloth

He threw it up in the air

It landed on the spiders lair

The moth had lost its cloth

The spider liked the cloth

It was her favourite color, the color of a Goth

She tried on the cloth

The moth told her she looked like sloth

The spider said This wont hurt a lot!

 Personification Poem

The Most Beautiful Place

The most beautiful place

Is where flowers speak song

And the doves like to sing along

From on top of the bookcase

Where bees and ladybugs like to compete in a race

And go on a chase

To make the morning bell ring

Where trees like to swim in the air

And the butterflies dont care

To do all the cooking

 Metamorphosis Poem

When I Was In School

When I was in elementary school

I thought school was a piece of cake

I had plenty of time to play

It felt like I would be happy forever

I was able to read many books

I got to play with my dolls

I had now entered high school

I started paying attention even more

Because I had heard about high school before

People said it would be very difficult

But I still tried my very best

I had become intelligent and punctual

Now I think high school is easy

Haiku poems

Winter

A cold breeze of wind

Shivering all the time

Wearing winter coats

Winter

The coldness outside

Makes icy skating rinks to skate on

And sledding downhill

Winter

It is raining snow

Soft, fluffy, white, small, round balls

Makes a snowball fight

Winter

Snow is really fun

You can make a cool snowman

And a snow angel

Concrete Cinquain poem

The Cat

Cat Very

Furry Cry Playful Smart

Cute Carnivorous Companion Beautiful

Affectionate Finicky Independent Blue Eyes

Funny Cuddly Curious Cat Called Caroline

Orange Tabby White Stripes Long sharp Nails

Prancing Pouncing Peeking Crouching Sniffing

Meowing Tail Twirling Hunting Purring Chase

Thin ears Small nose Soft Fur Happy

Sad Angry Feline Kitten

Metaphoric Poem

Modesty

Humility is a Chrismas Red Cardigan

Dignity is a Violet Niqaab

Integrity is a Peacock Blue Loose Clothing

Self-Respect is a Cotton Candy long dress

Purity is a White Hijab cap

Simplicity is an Emerald Green long sleeve Clothing

Humbleness is a Black Hijab

 Spring Time By: Maryam Said

Its finally the season of spring.

Where the plants grow using the suns power.

You are going to hear the bees sing,

And experience lots of rain shower.

You will see different flowers blooming.

We will find birds chirping in excitement too.

Ice cream is what we will be consuming.

Theres no better fun in spring time for you.

Everyone will be wearing pretty pinks.

They will forget about their winter jackets.

While drinking their milkshake drinks,

They will think winter was just a classic.

As the rain drops keep going drip, drip, drip,

The seasons will change just like your hairclip.

 My Immigrant Poem

Immigrants come from around the world

They come here and there just for good

Then the unexpected makes them mad

They get kicked out and yelled at really bad

Sometimes the reason is their color

Whether black or yellow, none is better

Then they make fun of how they speak

Making them feel embarrassed from their head till feet

Just because they dont know English, doesnt mean their bad

Their trying to get out of the difficulties they had

Now there shouldnt be anything left to say

Because now they have nowhere to stay

They come with lots of hope

Some stay but with lots to cope

Soon after all their tries

They achieve their goal and are wise

They get their very own task

Finally they have broken the embarrassment mask

Lament Poem Repetition and Inference

In Line 3-4, 7-8, and 11-12 Yet they still
punished you for nothing, I dont know why you
didnt say something. Repetition Is being used
here because this line is repeated constantly
throughout the poem, about 3 times, trying to
point out that this question was something to
think about through-out the poem. In Line 13,
Now I know why you didnt say something.
Inference is used here because this line explains
how when someone does not say anything
towards something unjust happening and then
they pass away tells us that the person already
knew that not saying anything would end up
giving you rewards in the hereafter.

Limerick Poem Understatement and Assonance In Line 5, The moth had lost its cloth,
Assonance is used her because the three words,
moth, lost, and cloth are close to one another
and they repeat the same vowel sound. In Line
10, The spider said this wont hurt a lot.
Understatement is used here because it is
lessening the strength of the pain the spider is
giving to the moth for calling it a sloth.
