Poetry Unit

We've done a lot of work on figurative language and the kids have been practicing adding it to different types of poetry. Here are some wonderful examples of their poetry.

Free Verse Poems:

Ponds
Ponds are so beautiful ,frogs live there.
Ponds have sparkling blue water,
the sun keeps the water warm for us to go swimming.
They have rocks,not sharp rocks,
smooth rocks, fish, deep water, very pretty.

Theres no sun not even a little bit
Its raining pouring mamma.
Its wet not dry.
puddles everywhere.
slowly slowly then stop.outcomes the sun and dried up the rain.

Limerick Poems:

There was a girl named Nance,
She wanted to live in France,
Her pay was low,
And did not show,
Then she said,”Let’s dance.”

There was an old man who liked math
and then he had a bath
he could not lie
he really liked pie
and then he unleashed his wrath.

Moon Acrostic Poems:

Many moons shine and glitter in the light.
Oh how so pretty and bright.
Oh how so big and shiny it is.
Now I see it reflect the sun and shine.

May the stars shine and shine,
Openly beauty remains thine.
Oh,how they twinkle so bright,
No stars in the morning sky,only at night.
