You can use idioms, similes, metaphors, repetition, action verbs, imagery, onomatopoeia, or anything else you can think of to make your poem great.

I walked down the hall
very slowly
because my name was called
to come to the office.

    I walked down the hall at a snail's pace because my name was called to the office and right then I knew I was going to be in a pickle.

    I slumped down the hall very slowly like a turtle because my name was called to come to the office on my way down I thought I might be in a pickle.

    I went down the hall
    very slowly like a snail
    because my name was called
    to go to the office as I was walking down
    I realized I was going to be in a pickle

    I walked down the hall
    slower than the worlds slowest turtle
    because I was called to the office
    At that moment I knew
    they where going to make me let the cat out of the bag

    I shake a leg down the hall as I hear my name being called to go to the office.

    Then I suddenly realize someone let the cat out of the bag.

    As I walk into the office I realize I'm in a pickle.

    My mom is standing there in the doorway telling me to shake a leg.

    I know I'm going to be in for the heat of the moment.

    I walked down the hallway being a snail
    with no slime because my name was called
    to come the lion at school.

    I was reading my book in Mrs. Barthamus class and my name was called to the OFFICE.
    I was walking to the office as quite as the wind
    as I approached the OFFICE doors. I put my
    hand out to open the door but my eyes were
    insane I kept missing the door the keep getting
    farther and farther away and then everything
    went BLACK.

    I walked down the hall like a turtle

    Because I was called to the pen

    For solitary confinement

    For giving the teacher a heart attack

    And embarrass a kid

    His face was so red it set the school

    On fire

    I strolled down the hall
    Slower than a herd of snails traveling through peanut butter
    Because they hollered my name
    To go to the office

    I walked down the hall
    as slow as I can
    because my name was called
    to come to the dungeon.
    I see people on my left
    and people on my right
    they all have a face on that was full of fright.

    It was a day like any other
    until the office called my name
    thenmy heart droped like a bowling ball
    from a 50 foot skyscraper I walkedthrew the halls like a snail on salt
    or a dog on Ice
    I got there It was for a good reason
    not bad when I walked in
    they were waiting for me at the door
    and they bursted like a cannon with
    excitement because it was my birthday
    then I felt like my soul and spirit

    When I walked in my room
    I kept hearing noises
    I checked all over my room and there was nothing
    But there was one more place the closet
    I opened the door and there was my brother
    I got all mad my face got red
    I had steam coming out of my ears
    My brother said you woke up on the wrong side of the bed didn't you because you are all mad
    I said no get out of my room
    I am mad enough my head could pop off
    But he didn't listen
    I will chase you down till you run out of steam
    I will beat you up until I feel like stopping
    You might say stop but I don't care
    I will hurt you wherever we are I really don't care
    Now leave my room or I will do what I said
    So he left but slowly like a snail

    I tiptoed down the hall
    very slowly like a snail in mud
    because I herd my name called
    to go to the principle palace
    my heart beating like drums
    I walked down the empty hallway like nothing was there
    when I got to the door my heat was beating faster and faster
    like a cheetah running for its pray
    I turned the handle like there was no tomorrow
    I walked in
    everybody was quiet like a mouse on Christmas eve.

    I walked down the hall of the school
    very slow and quiet
    because I got called to the office.
    I didn't know why.
    I just walked, and walked and walked till I finally reached the door.
    I twisted the handle and just dove in there without saying a word.
    I sat on the bench by the door
    and I thought.
    I wonder why I'm in here,
    then the principal came to me
    and said to "come with me".
    I was over thinking and didn't know what to do.
    When he finally said something
    it was "Your student of the month".
    I just froze there and said " OH MY GOSH!",
    and I talked my head off about it.
    He just smiled and gave me a paper that said
    I was student of the month.
    I was so happy I could scream!
