Poetry

This week we have been learning about poetry. Each day we have been focusing on a different kind of poetry. Every student has had to write at least one poem about each  type. Here are some examples of our poetry:

Sunset At The Beach, by Bridie

As the sun dipped below the horizon,

The sky turned pink and bright,

The sky is a picture that cannot be broken,

Until the sun disappears into the night.

Dolphins splash and play around,

While baby turtles hatch,

The sky then turns as blue as the ocean,

And ocean ad sky are a perfect match.

A boat is sitting out at sea,

While stars shine bright in the sky,

All the surfers have gone home for tea,

But the birds in the sky still fly high.

The night sounds yell out loud,

While waves crash on the sand,

The pier stands tall and proud,

This beautiful scene is definitely not bland.

Haiku - by BrandonP

I wish I could fly

Flying higher than the clouds

But jet packs don't work

Cinquain by Jack P.

Hot, Flamy

Burning, Warming, Killing

Heating the worlds ground

Burn

Haiku by Jack P.

The big elephant 

Flopping his big ears around

What a great creature

Haiku by Will B

Soccer is a sport

A sport where you kick the ball

Not your opponent

Rolling, eating, sleeping

Pandas are very lazy

Peaceful

They killed Aussie Steve Irwin

Cool but dangerous

Cute, playful

Playing, sleeping, eating

A cute dog breed

Penguins are as soft as a pillow

There skin is as dark as night

There belly is as white as snow

Penguins are soft cuddly and full of love

I love penguins and so should you

Haiku: by Will H.

Mountains.

I see the cool view.

I read the confusing map.

I feel the cold wind.

Cinquain: by Will H.

Soil.

Smelly and brown.

Digging, planting and growing.

Fresh, cool, clean, new.

Dirt

Haiku by Ava

Summer

Sun and hot weather

It’s fun to go for a swim

The pools, beach and friends

 

Haiku by Riley G

I sense the goats pain 

Him getting more furious

thinking of a way out

 

Poem, by Brandon C.

On my journey to the war

I was real scared to the core

But then I met a friend named Ryan

Together we fought like a lion

Now I feel like dying

But Ryan was there which kept me fighting

Now I'm alive all thanks to Ryan

Our friendship has turned into iron

And we still fight like lions

That's why you have to treasure friendships

Because they may not last forever.

 

Haiku poem by Caoimhe

Ducks

Fluffy duck swimming,

Floating on the smooth water,

playing in the sun
