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!

Lilly by Inti

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
