Garrett 6th period

Zip, zap, zing the road runner goes
He runs like the wind
And not the average Joes,
He runs like the does
And other deer that aren't pinned.

The breeze runs along side
Trying to keep up,
His head he won't hide
And never will he abide,
He never gives up,

He ran like a jaguar in the rain
And that wasn't smart,
 He hurt his brain
When he slipped in the rain,
But he never fell apart like a broken heart,

So he kept moving on
That determined little Fellow,
Until he saw the sun was shining
a brilliant shade of yellow

  3. - I like the humor of this poem and the way you rhyme in this poem.
    - You don't really need improvement because it sounds cool like a riddle.

    1) ABAAB
    2) Excited?
    3) "Average Joes" because it reminds me that one movie.
    "Slipped" you spelled it wrong.
    "Deer" because it is a cute animal.
    4) "He runs like the wind."
    5) "His head he won't hide" Line 8
    6) None?
    7) "Runs like the wind" Line 2
    8) "Zip, zap, zing" Line 1
