make this into poem that a fifth grader wrote: one physical feature of me that I like the most is my auburn hair
one talent I have is I can play hockey

My auburn hair shines so bright,

It's my favorite trait, my heart takes flight.
When the sun is shining, it glows,
Like a fiery ember, it shows.

I play hockey with skill and grace,
Skating on ice, winning the race.
My talent shines, like a star,
Hockey is my favorite by far.
