  1. The man on the moon:

    The man on the moon,
    I'll see him soon.
    He can hear the Earth shout loud,
    The Earth is really proud.
    The man on the moon,
    I'll see him soon.
    His is rocket is as pitch black as the sky at night,
    And for him it is in sight.
    The man on the moon,
    I'll see him soon.
    He is a giant marshmallow floating in space,
    Soon he will be involved in a race.
    The man on the moon,
    I'll see him soon,
    He would leave space behind,
    Because he is so kind.

      I like the way you have sticked to the topic of space.

      Great work Diya

    2. * You have used your punctuation correctly
      * I like how you have used anaphora
      ! Instead of using the same rhyming words you could use different words

      Delete
    3. You have used lots of personification in your poem
      'He can hear the Earth shout loud,'

      Delete
    4. Star I like your rhyming

  2. MY POEM:

    I can see the moon glow
    as white as snow.
    There was an astronaut
    who thought:
    he could get to the moon quite soon.
    In his pocket he had a socket
    to launch a rocket.
    He looked quick
    at his spaceship.
    Should he take the dog or the frog?
    At take-off
    he had a cough.
    He began to scuttle
    into his space shuttle.
    And then it was just he and gravity.

    There once was a dog called Laika .
    Laika was a clever little fellow who's life's goal for him was to go up into space
    A dog in space I know what thinking what a dog in space it won't survive . Laika's owner also wanted Laikia to go to space because he had found out from his friend that Russian's are now thinking of animals to go to space instead of spending money on the space buggies. Laika had to do special training so that he didn't miss his owner and he didn't do dodo or number1 they also had to get a special suit made for him and special dog biscuit's , his owner as you could imagine was really excited as him and his dog were very excited off Laika went into space.

  4. I look up from Earth and try to see,
    The planets looking all at me,
    The gleaming distance of the stars,
    And I try to search Neptune, Venus and Mars,
    I looked for the telescope all my best,
    And tried spotting Mercury and the rest.

  5. Rockets

    Rockets flying out in space,
    Rockets flying every place,
    Rockets from Earth
    to Venus and Mars,
    to silver moons and shining stars.
    Rockets to galaxies far away,
    I think I'll build a rocket some day.
    I'll fuel it first,
    I'll fly it away.
    I'll land in time
    for Christmas day.
    On Pluto, Neptune,
    Saturn or Mars.
    On a silver moon,
    Or a shining star.

  6. this poem is Neil Armstrong's point of view.
    This was one of the most amazing thing that has happened in history .
    I was on the moon I was the HAPPIEST person alive . it was a mystery
    how I got there I don't know.
    I missed my family a lot but this isn't the same in on the moon up in space.
    I picked up the moon dust it crumbled

    his rocket was launched at noon.

  9. ASTEROIDS

    Asteroids in the asteroid belt
    Will it freeze or will it melt ?
    The asteroid will go by
    Tell everyone but don't lie.

    A rocket will fly up through space
    And say ,"HELLO WORLD" with lots of grace.
    But oh no there is an asteroid belt
    The rocket will use so my heat I hope it doesn't melt!

    The rocket will land saying ,"I have an asteroid
    But not in my hand in my mind and it's not destroyed."

  10. ADVENTOUROUS ME

    Together on a space ship built on dreams,
    A dog and an astronaut travel through,
    amazing galaxies, planets and meteors,
    Finally they descend then land on the moon.

    They stare at the view and don't move their eyes,
    The astronaut laughs and the dog woofs back,
    And then....Suddenly they jump in surprise,
    Out comes an alien, stout, plump and fat.

    Terrified and horrified they run to their shuttle,
    Leave the moon, immediately and straight away,
    Quickly fasten their belts in a muddle,
    Back to Earth they make their way.

    In the morning the man awakes,
    Everything was different to him may it seem,
    The dog in his basket fast asleep,
    But then in the end, it was just a dream.

  11. "Have you heard about the man who just stepped on the moon!"
    "Of course,the news arrived very soon."
    I have seen him on the news,
    He was wearing very weird shoes.
    He planted the flag at half past two
    After he has a thorough check threw.
    He will be returning tomorrow
    He might be feeling a little bit sorrow
    Although,we don't know!
