= ** ﻿ **** ﻿Here is my Poem using similes: ** = = Arctic or Desert  = By: //Nathaniel Gordon//

The Arctic is bleak and heaping with ice, like the desert, which too is lacking is spice. The Arctic also doesn’t have flora, like the desert, where heat causes feet to be sore (-a!).

The Arctic freezes water to ice, it’s as cold as a freezer and not very nice. The desert is hot like the sun night and day, in fact it’s so hot it makes water go away.

So if I were to choose which was more to my liking, I couldn’t choose of the two, neither allows for good hiking. I must say ones who like either are few. =Here is my poem using metaphors:= =  = __The Spinosaurus__ // By: Nathaniel Gordon  // The Spinosaurus is a ferocious dino, with a mouth of sharp nails, Although it will make your jaw drop, when it hoists its sails When it comes to food, the Spinosaurus is a starving bear, And it’s a giant sumo wrestler, so the fight is rarely fair. The Spinosaurus is a ton of cement, the ground rumbles as it walks, Then all the other dinosaurs flee (it’s ok, he isn’t fond of talks!) About its spine, it features a stunning sailboat sail, And when it comes to signaling or consuming heat, it’s not one to usually fail. It’s tail alone is a slithering snake just waiting to perform strikes, When it comes to walking, he’s not one to take long hikes. Compared to the T-Rex, he isn’t very tough, But all in all, the Spinosaurus can be quite rough. = **  ﻿ Here is my poem using personification:﻿ **  =

**__ Ship and Storm __** // By: Nathaniel Gordon //

The wind whips your back. It makes the sails billow like sheets out to dry. The supply barrels you brought roll around haphazardly. She jumps and but keeps on going.

Lightning reaches down its gnarled fingers. It stealthily strikes down like a ghost. It lights up the sky with a harsh light for a split second. The mast groans yet it doesn’t get struck.

The salt water stings your eyes. It’s your shift to keep watch. Alas; you know the others can’t sleep a wink. The ship takes ragged gasps but it continues on its course.

The ship and storm continue to battle.
