Poetry Writing

Mrs Jackson shared two poems with us from "My Dad's An Alien" - Young Person's Writing.

The first poem was a character description where most of the lines ended with a "or" or "er" word like lover and creator.

The second poem described the scene outside a bedroom window.

We attempted both types of poems and below are some great examples from our class:

Dad

He’s a:

Good cook,

Soldier guy,

Cat hater,

Dog lover,

Good fisher too.

Marvel hero collector,

Awesome drawer,

Non stop worker,

Sports creep,

Gun freak as well.

Loves motorbikes,

Enjoys hikes,

Has never biked (for ages),

Not just a mind changer,

But a try joke teller too.

House painter,

Worse listener,

Bad baker,

Fair player,

Comforts when we’re hurt.

Mince disperser,

Safest person I know,

Preferred short hair,

With more like hazel eyes,

And tattoos here and there.

Dad

Cheyenne

I look out my bedroom window and what a sight there is,

The old maple tree stands proudly shading a napping cat,

The pond shimmers as the afternoon sun spreads the light,

The large, grey, gravel road sits silently waiting to be used,

The crooked fence lies in front of the road stopping intruders from entering our land,

Brown sparrows chirp their song while perching on power lines,

White and yellow daisies dance in the long grass,

I look up and see the little clouds darting around the baby blue sky,

What an amazing sight!

Claire

Brother

He’s an:

Irritator,

Time waster,

PS3 master,

Mess maker,

Money spender.

Shorter than others,

Sensitive, carer,

Fast car enjoyer,

Dreamer,

Take away king.

Rugby lover,

Book reader,

Sleep talker,

Clumsy walker,

Computer whiz.

Vegetable disliker,

Big protector,

Sport admirer,

Fizzy drinker,

Always there when you need a Deputy Head Boy.
