Cloud Haiku

What do these clouds look like?

Here's an easy formula for a cloud haiku that teaches about simile:

Like ____ ____ ____ ____ (4 more syllables, total of 5)
Like ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ (6 more syllables, total of 7)
Passing, fluffy cloud (total of 5; the 2 adjectives can be changed to others with 4 syllables)

This formula can be changed easily for a metaphor poem.

Examples:

Like fish in the sea
Like celestial bulldozers
Passing, fluffy clouds

A scurrying cat
Hiding in ether bushes
Become a lone cloud
