Haikus, Limericks, And Just Plain Poems

For school we have been learning and writing different kinds of poems. These are the poems I have written:

There's a girl down the street named Grace,
She set out for a big running race,
For weeks she had trained,
Even when it had rained,
But when she got to the spot for the race to be,
As anyone could see,
The race had already been run.

Boxers, terriers, labs,
Dogs and puppies all the same,
Who doesn't love dogs?

I love the piano,
Quarter notes, half notes, whole notes too,
I love the piano.

There was a girl from Chicago,
She decided to move to Key Largo,
She was half way there,
When she left her chair,
And went back to get her cargo.

There was a young man from Arizona,
Who's sister was named Simona,
She'd hit him on the head,
When he got out of bed,
So he decided to move to Pomona.

There was an old man by the cove,
Who ran a big giant stove,
People came to bake,
Cookies, pies, and cake,
Until one day in the ocean he dove.

There was a girl from China,
Who had a pet bird Mina,
He'd sit there and sing,
Or sometimes he'd bring,
The mail and packages to Dina.
