Student Sample: Upper Elementary
 Friends
by Natasha, 5th grade writer
Friends are like a stove.
They keep you happy. When
You are down, they warm your soul.
Friends are like a dice,
Because your friends will
Have good and bad rolls, and
It might take time to repair them.
Friends are like a stapler,
Because you get attached to
The friendships you have like staples,
And it becomes hard to separate.
Friends are like a book because you
Can't judge a book by its cover, and the
Inside is what matters.
(Click here to print and read three of Natasha's classmates metaphor poems.)
