The Closet
My dad is the door that
Opens and closes to protect us all
My mom is the hanger that
Holds my brother and I
My brother is the crazy Hawaiian shirt
On the hanger that is my mom
I am the fashionable red leather purse on a shelf
Supported by my grandparents.
The Dog
The little girl’s parents decide to get the perfect small house dog. The little girl and her brother saw the perfect dog.
The little girl said, “She is the one.”
Her brother said “Doggie.”
The parents knew that little caramel cream color dog sitting in her bed was the one.
She was like a stuffed animal waiting to be chosen.
The breeder let the little girl and her brother pet the little dog.
Her fur felt like silk.
Everyone knew she was the one.

That’s a really cool idea for a poem.
How did you come up with the idea ?
The first poem was cool how you compared your dad to a closet door that opens to let you in and closes to protect you. Also i like how you compared everyone in your family to a house item. Good job descriping what the dog look like i could picture it in my head.
i like the one about the dog. i have always wantd a dog but my dad is alergec to most if not all. so this one touched me.
I have a dog like the one in the poem so i can relate to this poem very well.
I really like your poem The Closet!! i like how you made everyone in your family a clothes or a hanger, it was really cool
your poem reminds me when i got my two new puppies and when we first saw them, we knew that they were the ones.
I like your poem The Closet! I think it is really cool that you are talking about your family that way. That is really nice!

the closet part is a funny yet true story for a lot of the people in curlew school I know its not true for me though
I get a great picture in my head when I read this poem! I can imagine the whole chain effect of these objects. You did a great job at figuring out the everyday people in your life and linking them you inadimate objects.

Dear Ashley,
I enjoyed your poems. They are very well written and I especially liked the Closet. It has amazing personification. How you can compare the father to the door, the mother to the hanger, you and your brother to clothes, and your grandparent to the support. This poem was very well thought out. Great Job Ashley!
