Poetry

We have been working on all kinds of poetry in the last two weeks.  Some of the poems we have been reading rhyme, some don't.  Here are a couple of the kids' own poems that they worked on this week.  I think they are doing a pretty good job.

Savannah's Onomatopoeia poem:

Zap a Boom gun over
The nite. Achoo! A
Sneezey persone over
the day. What noise!
Vroom. My car is here
Smash! Not again!


Asher's Onomatopoeia poem:

Boom! and Bam!
And a Crash and Smash!
Lot of loud stuff.
And 2 more
Zap and Pop!



The kids also wrote a couple of St. Patrick's Day Poems where they were supposed to rhyme and include two similes.  This was a tough one.

Asher's Poem:
 
Get a Leaf
Get it and paint it green for St. Patrick's Day
A green man as a green door?
A green frog like a flower,
It is good!
I play with green balls for 7 bucks
Ball it is small.


Savannah's Poem:

Phile (Phil)

The St. Patrick's Day man
Had a brother named Nan

Nan had a jolly sole
Yesterday he saw a hole.
With Green Leaves as big as sharks!

Nan's Borther was like a bear
But only used a gun to hunt.
