Limerick:

The Man named Tim
There was a young man named Tim
Whose dad never taught him to swim
He fell off a Dock
And sunk like a rock
And that was the end of him

Haiku:
Winter
A frosty morning

Children sitting together
With Shoulders up high

Thunder
Terrifying sound
High above
Un-nerving
Noisy, so loud
Disturbing the peace
Electrical energy gone wild
Reverberating all around

Lizard
Lizards

shiny, sleepy
resting in sunshine
look at him closely
prehistoric
