Creature Alliteration Poems

The Creature Alliteration poems are some of my favorite. They are fun and trying to find alliterative words to work with each poem is a challenge I gladly accept.

Bearian
This is a bearian.
A bearian lies in big, brown, baskets.
A bearian eats broccoli, berries, and brownies.
A bearian likes balloons, beach balls and books.
A bearian browsed the books in the bookstore.
My bearian brought black blocks of bees to the bank.

Catarian
This is a catarian.
A catarian lives in cool, concrete catacombs.
A catarian eats cabbage, cottage cheese and crabs.
A catarian likes cartoons, cars, and cavemen.
A catarian climbed a crunchy, candy cane.
My catarian crept into my cabin and caused chaos.

This is a lizardian.
A lizardian lives in luscious, lavender, lilac trees.
A lizardian eats lemons, limes and lollipops.
A lizardian likes laughing loudly on ladders.

My lizardian licked my left leg.

Flowerian

This is a flowerian.
A flowerian lives in flaming flatulent flatlands.
A flowerian eats flaky, flavorless, flatbread.
A flowerian likes flying and flip flops.
A flowerian floated to the flapping flag.
My flwerian flaunted her fleshy flatworms.


Dragonian
This is a dragonia.
A dragonian lives in drafty, drab dressers.
A dragonian eats droopy, drippy, drumsticks.
A dragonian likes dreamy, dry dreadlocks.
A dragonian dropped his drapes and drills down the drain.
My dragonian dragged his drink across the driveway.

My Cinquain Poems

Here are examples I gave my students of Cinquain poems.

Students
Loud, fun
Reading, laughing, writing
As smart as they come
If only they all cared

Legs
Long, shortly after
Running, jumping, climbing
As useful as any other body part
If only mine worked well

Lizards
Quick, small
Running, sunning, jumping
As quiet as a mouse
If only they would slow down

Cardinals

Bright, Beautiful
Flitting from tree to tree
As red as strawberries
If only they would come closer

Kitten
Soft Fuzzy
Pouncing, jumping sleeping
As playful as a child
If only I could keep them all

Ospreys
Large, majestic
Always soaring high
As powerful as they are gorgeous
If only they would visit more often


Mothers
Loving, caring
Telling you what to do
As loving as they can be
If only she would let us help.

Honey Bees
Fascinating, industrious
Always buzzing around
As complicated as they are productive
If only it didn’t take so long to get honey.

Cats
Soft, cuddly
Mewing, rubbing, jumping
As soft as a cotton ball
If only I still had one.

Spiders
Hairy, scary
Skittering, swinging, creeping
As scary as a monster
If only I didn’t fear them
