You Poem

You poems are when you state five facts about something.

Ethan

Bear!You roam in the deep dark forest.

You feed on frantic fish.You climb up trees with ferocious claws.

You stand big and tall, never backing down.You have a roar as loud as an exploding meteor.

Bear!By Ethan

Cheetah!You have a loud roar.

You are fuzzy, brown and black.You roam around super-fast.

You chew meat.You are the fastest cat I’ve ever seen.

Cheetah!By Aharon

Panther!You have a frightening roar.

You are hidden well.You are scary.

You are skinny and black.You are rarely seen.

Panther!By Jeremy

Wolf!You are white and black.

You have tall ears.You love to eat meat.You live in the snow.You have big teeth.

Wolf!By Jacob

Dingo!You have teeth like razors.

You are a fast runner.You hunt in packs.

You look furry and like sand.You howl like a dog.

Dingo!By Cole

Echidna!You have deadly spikes.You suck up tiny ants.

You are brown, black and white.You make the leaves crunch under your feet.

You move very slowly.Echidna!By Colt
