What Am I? Personification Poetry Riddles
Write a personification riddle as you did earlier in the year, but this time it will be a poem
that rhymes and has a rhythm. It should be a minimum of four lines. No maximum! Go
for it! Examples follow:
Winter Butterfly
A fragile winter butterfly
Flutters from the sky
So soft and yet her heart
Is cold and made of ice
But if I warm it
She will melt and die
I am…a snowflake
Cloudless Canopy
Beneath a brilliant sapphire blue and cloudless canopy,
dipping swaying dreamily adrift in a fantasy,
shimmering in the noon daylight she dances with the breeze,
until she breaks on the shore and is swallowed by the sea.
I am…an Ocean Wave
Extended Metaphor Poem: Create a metaphor to describe any subject you
choose (person, place, thing, idea, or emotion) and extend that metaphor throughout the
poem. Minimum: 6 lines. Rhyming is optional.
Autumn's Season
Autumn brushes her hair slowly
Letting the glorious colors
flow gently to the earth below.
Showing off vibrant colors
in contrast to summer's green dress.
Outdoing the starkness,
of winter's white coat.
Autumn compares the mutable
shades of spring to her fall
Giving a sigh, end of another season.
She packs her brush
as frost touches her tips.
