Poems
Poems are lines inspired by people and objects around us, but decorated with figures of speech.
Some partners show us how to write a poem, which includes simile, metaphor, personification, euphemism, hyperbole…
You, mom
By Valentina Sánchez
You are the biggest sunshine in my life
Your lighting is so powerful
Even the flowers don´t need sun to stay alive.
Metaphor
Your love is like a red rose
Waiting for smiles as water
To be full of life.
Simile
Even when the days are cloudily
The sun looks for you
because you make him smile.
Personification
As you can make me smile
You could turn every smile in the world
Into honey drops.
Hyperbole
Pu! Pu! Pu! Honey falling
All over the place
People are full of your sweetness.
Onomatopoeia
Hope and faith are your best friends
´cause you couldn´t be more full of life
The envy would be so jealous.
Apostrophe
Your teachings
Words of wisdom
World would be with no war.
Alliteration
Proud daughter
Proud girl
Proud human
For being your little girl.
Anaphora
You are a gift
From God
From life
He treasures you
So do I
I love you mom.
Alliteration - Anaphora
Brothers or best friends?
By Santiago Sabogal
Brothers, blesses and best friends
One day I love, one day I hate
They help me like a friend,
and give me complains like a mother.
They are my guardian angels, or demons…
Sometimes they were angry as a bear.
And sometimes they were helpful like a angel
They were the best of the family and worst of the family
Hi darkness, my old brother..
bye sweetheart, again
They eat for live, but don't live for eat
They are able
They are unfit
One of them is so slow
That he never understand my jokes
But they are my life, and my death

My mom, my love
By A1 students
​
She can touch my knees
And make me feel ok
She is the best doctor
Full of love and faith
​
Being her child is a present
Being her child is a pleasure
My mom is always a gift
My mom is really a treasure
​
She is a super heroine
Her soul is white like a dove
She’s my heroine, she’s my life
She’s my mom, she’s my love.
​
I can’t live without you, mom
Never leave me, never
But if death moves us away
You’ll be my mom forever
