Poetry

Over the last 2 weeks we have been learning about poetry: what it is and why people like to write it. We have learnt about some different types of poetry such as Diamante, Haiku, Concrete and Rhyming poetry.
Below are our poems and some reflections on this very rich writing genre.

Blog post on poetry by Scarlett
What’s poetry? you may ask, well poetry is a good way to express your feelings or maybe something to do when you’re bored. There are many types of poetry most are complicated like Haiku a form of Japanese poetry or Diamante. There are also simple types like concrete or maybe just a simple acrostic poem.
Here’s an example of a Diamante poem:

Echidna
Small hairy
Tracking sniffing digging
Spikes desert eggs snow
Waddling sticky tongue
Cute spiky
Mammal
Most poetry has rhyme, rhythm, sound and visual language. You can take moments, memories, events or a second of reality and make a poem out of it!

Fire and water
Orange yellow
Leaning Wobbling dripping 
Candle, wax, flame, light
Hot cold warm 
Blowing moving staying still

Lilly is crazy as a duck.
She chases bikes like they’re chew toys. 
She’s fast like sport car.
She’s fun as a friend.
She’s more playful than any other animal 
She’s cuter than a cat 
She’s the best dog in the world, 
but in the end she's just a dog 

Poetry by Josh D.

There's some big diamonds
In that big and very dark mine
Get some for me now

  1. Well, Middles. Luckily for me, I chanced upon this post about my second favourite topic to teach! Guess what the first one might be? I loved reading all your creative pieces. Nice reflection,Scarlett...and so true. On Friday, I was showing my Grade 3/4 students the reflective poem, "In Flanders Fields", http://www.greatwar.co.uk/poems/john-mccrae-in-flanders-fields.htm We talked about how the punctuation was used to create a flow and what the words meant.

    Keep up the great creativity!

  2. I agree with everything you said about Nato, Eve! I didn't know about Diamante poems before reading this, so I've learned something new, thank you!
