Poems

I love poems because they can be abstract whilst making sense (or not). We have been learning about different poems such as haiku's, couplets and limericks, and diamante. Here are my favourite ones:

Haiku about Writing

Pencil on paper

Sowing a deeper meaning 

Simply put in words

Diamante about the Sea and Night

Sea

cunning colourful

splashing pulling rolling

mighty powerful dangerous dark

stealing sleeping prying

lonely frightening

Night

Limerick/Couplet Poem

The old sea dog told a tale,

Whilst leaning on the inns rail.

Of the cold and rolling seven seas

And after that he would tease

"You can't find adventure whilst wrapped in a rug,
stroking that spoilt fat pug."

"You have to board a ship and travel far,
being guided by the north star."

"And come apon that pirates ship,
the Captin carrying a fiery whip."

And when he finished I'd ask for more,
asking "how did you make it back to shore?"

At this he would chuckle then grin at me,
and say, "As for that, wait and see."

So that's my tale of the old sea dog,
I hope you find time to read his ships log.
