Title What is the title of your poem? Make it catchy	Likeable Lagoon pools.
Stanza 1 Introduce the topic of your poem through descriptive vocabulary and language	The bus was an alarm clock driving to the pools and the traffic was as packed as a parking lot.  I was going to freeze to death with this weather. In the pool people were playing physically at the panmure pools. I jumped into the pools and then the pools was starting to ripple.
Stanza 2 Use figurative language to creatively describe the topic of your poem	The pools were an Iceberg when I first jumped in. While I was swimming my togs had been soaked from the water like a sponge. Later on I got used to it and it was like I was melting when we hopped out. Later on we were going down the slide and something I noticed were that people were slowly sliding down the slippery slide and students were screaming down the slide as well, but I can’t blame them, the slide did feel like soap and  water combined while you could only see pitch black. “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH” all the way to the bottom of the slide and “SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”” the teachers were saying to the students like Africa could hear us.
Stanza 3 Use figurative language to creatively describe the topic of your poem	Then it was 2:30 and were getting ready to go; everyone was rushing the girls to get ready but its not our fault that our hair was torturing us and my clothes felt like they had shrunk and we only took like 2 minutes. On the bus my eyelids were drifting away like they were on a elevator and they were going down but I tried to stay awake.
Final Stanza What message are you wanting the reader to understand?	It was a really cold, miserable and tiring day but it was such a blast taking
