Poetry

Right before April vacation we started learning about poetry. I think poetry is interesting because we get to learn about different types. I enjoy making haiku because it is like a word puzzle and it is a little like math. We started poetry by reading picture books. We found poetic lines and wrote them down. Then we took the lines and made a long poem. It is called a found poem. It sounds cool even though the words came from different books. In class we also learned about similes and personification and made poems with those tools. We will do a lot more before the year ends.

Here is a poem using personification from Max:

I saw poetry clearly. It was like a song to my ears. It turned and twisted as the story went along. I saw its beauty on the paper. I heard poetry today it was as awesome as a kangaroo.

Here is a haiku from Tipton:

I saw wind today

It's not easy being wind

Always being blown 

Here is a poem from Kirby. He wrote a draft and then reversed it. He likes it better that way.

Then on the wall it whispers to me and and says
You can't see me and then he's gone
At noon it struts around invisible

It eats so quick and goes back home
Hello time says in a fast voice It calls me to the wall where it lives

Little Red Riding Hood

once upon a time there was a girl her name was Ruby but everyone called her Red

One day as she lay in her bed she thought my granny is sick so she went down stairs

Because every little girl cares. And gout  her granny a basket of bread and told her mother she was going to granny's to give her her bred but on the way she got hit in the head by a big bad wolf then dizzy she ran to her granny's to find the wolf had eaten her granny.

And that is why you never go into the woods

The End
