My 8 year old recently brought home a few haikus he wrote at school. (A haiku is a type of Japanese poetry where you have 3 lines, with 5, 7, and 5 “on” (like a syllable); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
My favorite is “Books”:
Books
Books. Books. Their knowledge.
Information flows through me.
The knowledge of books.
Others:
River
Its current flows fast.
The river rushes swiftly.
Its cool, sweet water.
Humans
I am one of them.
Some of them work all day long
You are one of them.
Air
It flies everywhere
It gives humans oxygen
We need it to live
pretty sweet 🙂
