The longest poem ever… :)

Monday, December 18th, 2006

We have been writing rhyming couplets for a “Sick” poem - inspired by Shel Silverstein’s work.
Using post-it notes we all contributed to a really, really long poem, it spilled over onto the wall and then down onto the floor!

Why not go to our wiki and add in your own rhyming couplet to a poem we […]

Let’s write some poems together!

We have really enjoyed writing poetry last week in our class and the children must have written about 300 separate poems!

We would really like to work with you if you can help us write some fun poetry this week. We could use our blog spaces or we could use our wikispace too!
This week we will […]

Kenning

people believe you find a pot off gold at the end of me
but thats not really true
I start at one place
and end at another
I can be lots of colours
and people think im beautiful
What am i?

Snow falling fastly
Riding down the hills on sledges
It is winter now.

You don’t know me
but I’m there
I follow you everywhere
turn the light off
and I disappear.
What am i?

Cinquains

Dead tree
Branches are down
The leaves off on the ground
Branches snapping one by one
Dead tree
The leaves off on the ground

Sunset                                                    
the autumn sun
shines brightly in the sky
the skys of many colours begins to set

Cinquains

Friday, December 8th, 2006

Wind blows
As they rock trees
Leaves blow high in the sky
As they fal to the mud colour ground grass
Wind blows.
Autumn
Is 3 season
As they float peacefully
They lay there for days ice-cold
Dead now.

Maisie’s Cinquains

Autumn
leaves scattering
leaves are floating slowly
I’m feeling colder and colder
My next poem
Autumn
leaves are falling
they are turning golden
getting colder getting colder
Autumn
next poem
Autumn
those autumn days
colder and colder
leaves go from green to golden
Autumn

Charmaine’s haiku

   Changing  Leaves changing colours   Different colours on the grow  Leaves change every month  

Winter poem haiku

Wine as red as blood
Turkey duck smell lush when cooked
Eat drink have a pud.
Christmas is coming
As we decroate our house
We enjoy Christmas.
 

A Kenning poem

Friday, December 8th, 2006

I have many surroundings,
Sometimes I crunch,
I’m multicoloured,
And sometimes things munch.
What am I?

My Remembrance Day Poem

Friday, December 8th, 2006

i am a poppy
in flanders field
that cover the dead
that fought for the world
the bombs that fell
destroyed the land
thats why I grew
and stand so grand.

I go around you,
I’m quite tall,
I’m gathered with friends,
I can sometimes be cold.
What am I?

Our Autumnal Poetry Week

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

This week we have been exploring a variety of poetic styles and writing “instant anthologies” - we wrote haiku and cinquains on post-it notes and then published them around the classroom.

In two literacy sessions we have written about 200 poems altogether!

Poppy Poem

Monday, November 20th, 2006

We wear a poppy
On Remembrance Day,
And at eleven
We stand and pray.
Wreaths are put
Upon a grave.
As we remember
Our soldiers brave.
