Below are some hyperbole poems. Comment on the 2 that we didn't read in class and tell what the hyperbole is describing.
Tomorrow (THURSDAY 4/17) we will write our own silly and extreme hyperbole poems.
Appetite
In a house the size of a postage stamp
lived a man as big as a barge.
His mouth could drink the entire river
You could say it was rather large
For dinner he would eat a trillion beans
And a silo full of grain,
Washed it down with a tanker of milk
As if he were a drain.

And a silo full of grain,
Washed it down with a tanker of milk
As if he were a drain.
Thanksgiving
A mountain of baby carrots,
a turkey the size of a cow.
a river full of gravy
a dog that says meow
Every pie known to man
and gallons full of ice cream.
By the time my dinner is over
I surely won’t be lean.
a turkey the size of a cow.
a river full of gravy
a dog that says meow
Every pie known to man
and gallons full of ice cream.
By the time my dinner is over
I surely won’t be lean.
My Dog
His bark breaks the sound barrier
His nose is as cold as an ice box.
A wag of his tail causes hurricanes
His jumping causes falling rocks.
He eats a mountain of dog food
And drinks a waterfall dry.
But though he breaks the bank
He’s the apple of my eye.
His nose is as cold as an ice box.
A wag of his tail causes hurricanes
His jumping causes falling rocks.
He eats a mountain of dog food
And drinks a waterfall dry.
But though he breaks the bank
He’s the apple of my eye.
Summertime is Here
My tongue is a piece of sandpaper
I’m dissolving into a puddle.
I want to dive into a snowdrift
Though I’m sure that would befuddle
Open me up, my organs are cooked
I think I’m now well done.
You can fry an egg upon my brow
As I melt away in the sun!

In the poem appetite the hyperbole is describing that he could drink the whole river,eat a trillion beans,and hid house is as big as a post sticker thingy.

On the poem Thanksgiving, the hyperbole is '' A turkey the size of a cow.'' It is exaggerating by saying that there is a lot of turkey.
ReplyDeleteOn the poem My Dog, one hyperbolic is ''He eats a mountain of dog food.'' The dog is not eating a whole mountain of dog food, it is just eating a lot like a mountain of dog food.
Thanksgiving hyperbole:
ReplyDeleteA turkey the size of a cow means that the turkey is really big like a cow is really big
My Dog hyperbole:
His nose is as cold as an ice box, means that his nose is cold like an ice box is cold
In Thanksgiving they make the Thanksgiving items much bigger than regular size.
ReplyDeleteIn My Dog they make the dog turn into a large dog that makes big things happen on the earth.
It makes the poem funny like in the poem "My dog" it says "his nose is as cold as a ice-box" the dog's nose is very cold.
ReplyDeleteThe thanksgivings hyperbole's are the size of a cow mountain of carrots dog says meow gallons of ice cream.
ReplyDeleteThe hyperbole's are his nose has cold as ice also a simile. A wag of his tail causes hurricanes. He eats a mountain of dog food. He drinks a waterfall dry.
In Thanksgiving, a dog that says meow = Dog is quiet
ReplyDeleteIn My Dog, Eats a mountain of dog food = Can eat a lot of food
The appetite poem's hyperbole were, the man could drink the whole river, the man could eat a trillion beans, and the man lives in a post card thing.
ReplyDeleteThe thanksgiving poem's hyperbole were, the river was gravy, the mountains were baby carrots, the dog that says meow, every pie known to man, and gallons full of ice cream.
Thanksgiving hyperbole exaggerates about a turkey the size of a cow.In my dog The dogs bark cant really break a sound barrier they are exaggerating.
ReplyDeleteThe man big as a building that lived in a house bigger than the moon.The furniture
ReplyDeleteof the couch was made of steel because he was like a boldosser.His bed is bigger than a big crater of pillows.
The man ate 10 pounds of meat and tomatoes like a grinder.He would drink 20 gallons of water each day like a pipe.He can eat 28 ice cubes at a time while eating 5 burgers.
A hyperbole in the thanksgiving poem is a mountain of baby carrots,which means that the mountain has lots of baby carrots.
ReplyDeleteA hyperbole in my dog poem is a wag of his tail causes hurricanes,which means that the dog's tail wags really fast like a hurricane.
