Hey, we did this assignment before way back in high school, and I've even run into some older poets who have done this as well. Since you don't know the girl, you can make a poem that is mysterious. It would help if you know her name, but since I don't know it as well, you can just put it in the title, like "Ode to Carrie Lynn" or whatever it is. When you say the word "hyper" I started brainstorming about small animals which might be considered hyper. Let's say, hamsters, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, prairie dogs. From my point of view, I think they are all cute creatures, but prairie dogs are what I grew up with in the back yard of my grandpa's ranch in Wyoming, so let's go with those.

Ode to (put name of the girl here)

(Describe prairie dogs)
Her bright eyes dart from face to face,
her energy alert and bright like the sun-washed desert,
and her head scans the horizon,
searching for friends and coyotes,
wolves and hawks.

There you go, short and sweet.
