Construction Poetry by Mr. Dicks' Class

Construction Noise

By John C

Those noisy construction workers!  
Bang!  Bang!  Bang!  Bang!  
Hammer smacking  
Boom!  
Noisy cranes dropping pipes,  
dumping trucks dumping dirt.  
Drills drilling holes,  
distracting us from our reading.   

Those noisy construction workers! 

Construction Craze

By Brendan C

Wolcott School.  
Hammers banging.  
Workers yelling.  
Cranes tumbling.  
CRASH! shrieks the walls  
as I try to read my book.  
Buzzing saws and blasting  
right out my window!  
Kids complaining of aching heads!
 
A beautiful new school.

Construction Music

By Max E

The banging of a steel hammer.  
The crashing of a crane into a wall.  
Jackhammers hammering their tune.  
The screech of the saw dancing on a piece of wood.  
Can’t wait to see the results.

School Music

By Daniel E

Clank!  Clank!  Clank!  
I hang my backpack up.  
Thud! Thud! Thud!  
I start my work.  
Grrrrrr…….  
I revise a poem.  
Beep!  Beep!  Beep!  
Trucks come and go as I dash to recess.  
The hardhat parade marches by.  
The construction band plays all day long.  

The Sounds of Construction

By Kelly H

BANG!  cries the furious nails as the hammer crashes on their heads  
BANG!
 
Vvsssth!  screeches the drills as they twist the silvery screws.  

Vvsssth!
 
Beep!  Beep!  screams the pickup truck as it drives down the rocky road. 
Beep! Beep!  
Blah!  Blah!  shout the men as they plan their next move. 
Blah!  Blah!  
CRASH!  The crane lifts and drops loads. 
CRASH!  
The annoying sounds of construction.

Construction, Construction

By Jaimie M

We stared school,  
And there’s a rule:  
STAY AWAY FROM THE CONSTRUCTION.  
All day long we hear the noises…  
Bang and clang screeches the hammers  
Beep!  Beep!  Beep!  
screams the dump trucks as they back up,  
dumping huge, heavy rocks.  
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!   
Whirling drills.  
Saws that shriek  
BUZZZZZZZZZ!  
WHY CAN’T CONSTRUCTION STAY AWAY FROM ME!

I Hate Construction

By JP S

The noise
Bams!  
Slams!  
Cracks!  
all day long.  
The hammers holler  
Boom!  Boom!  Boom!  
The drills bellow  
Bump!  Bump! Bump!  
The rocks blast and crash,  
the metal clashes  
while they work  
Construction hurts my ears!

Wolcott Tunes

By Miller S

Hammers banging hard against rusty nails.  
The crane making a rumbling sound.  
Workers yelling.  
Drills clashing.  
Metal grinding against the school  
while I’m trying to learn.  

These are Wolcott tunes.

The Pit

By Maddie T

All those construction workers  
down in the pit,  
hammering away with  
hard, heavy hammers,  
working as hard as they can,  
down in the pit.  
Wait.  
I hear a BAM! BAM! BAM!  
and a CLING! CLING! CLING!  
I can still hear it,  
down in the pit.  
Ugh!

Construction Music

By Carson M

In the building  
I can hear  
Hammer and nails  
Pounding into wood.  
Clang!  Bang!  Boom!   
Crashing metal!
