下面一组英文诗是读小学五年级的俺儿子的部分作品，他于今天在班上和同学们轮番朗诵各自的诗作。现抄录如下，以飨读者。

(1)双行诗
I am on fire! I am on fire!
To jump in some water is my desire.

(2)四行诗
There once was a man named Blang
Who was part of a gang.
He robbed a bank and was caught by the cops,
He now lives in a cell made of blocks.

(3)五行打油诗
There once was a nerd named Clive,
Who one day bumped into a bee hive.
The bees came out,
And stung him about,
Now his I.Q.'s only 55!

(4)拟声诗
Bang! Hiss! Thwack! Bang!
Sock! Punch! Zip! Thwang!
Bash! Clash! Push! Shove!
Crack! Snap! Pop! Clove!
Yelp! Twist! Slam! Boom!

This is what happens
If you invade my sister's room!

(5)特无聊的诗
Sally McFrancup's Big Mix Up

There is a girl named Sally McFrancup
Who, in truth, is very mixed up.
For her meals
She eats six inch high heels.
She never eats through her mouth,
But sucks in through her snout.
In gym, 'stead of running laps,
She was looking at Louisiana maps.
Instead of snoozing in her bed,
She snores in the animal shed.
As you can see, she is quite weird,
She even has a ten-foot long beard!

(6)情绪诗
S-ister is bothering me.
A-nd I'm being stung by a bee.
D-ad's now lecturing me.

(7) 拟人诗
A Dandelion's Sins (蒲公英造孽)

Dandelion seeds hitch-hiked on the wind.
The weed has greatly sinned.
They have nice flowers,
With strong powers,
They've made lawns their slaves.
They deserve to live in a grave!

(8)日本Haiku诗
Up and down they go.
Currents wandering nowhere.
The heart of the sea.

(9)回忆诗
Death's Gate(死亡之门)

Jon and I, two peas in a pie,
Jon skied off the ski trail, don't know why,
I decided to follow him,
If I didn't, he might die.
We came to a stop at an abrupt drop,
And we started to turn back,
Heading for the ski track.
Up that sad "shortcut" we trekked.
I was exhausted, sad, and hopeless,
I thought about a dead man, maybe
That'll happen to me too.
Then I see a light, and skiers look like
They're taking flight.
Jon and I, on the ski track,
Uh-huh, we're back!
