Me Taco!

This is how one 8th grader described himself in a poem. :)  Students in grade 8 were asked to compare themselves to amusement park rides, kitchen appliances, animals, foods, colors, writing tools, natural disasters and anything else they could think of in order to create a metaphor poem.  The poems are fantastic and really help to get to know another person. It is often hard to tell personal facts about yourself, but if you tell me that you are like a volcano erupting with anger, I can tell how you are feeling at times when you get mad. Here is PA's poem.  Enjoy!
                                  

                  Me Taco

            I am a crunchy supreme taco

I fill up overtime with attitude

My shell is extremely brittle

It could snap at any moment

I begin to forget some things when piled too high

Every so often, I topple onto my side in leisure

I am organized by being divided into sections

I can be silent as a mouse and motionless when needed

I am decorated and well-balanced with variety
