A Poem

Here is a poem I wrote to model using similes and metaphors.

March Madness
Spring is a basketball game.
Spring brings the rain like Jimmer dropping threes.
The jumping players spring up like flowers and trees.
Bouncing balls, birds calling, fans yelling.
Everybody and everything start to warm up.
The other team emerges scared from the locker room,
shivering like a baby chick, just hatched.
Spring and basketball,
My favorites.

Stop judging me. I definitely wrote this on the fly while in the middle of a lesson and the kids contributed.
