Middle School Poetry 

This term the Year Three and Four students have been demonstrating  fabulous creative writing skills while engaging in a unit on poetry. Ms Crookes and I have been so impressed by the enthusiasm shown by the students as they learnt about and practised multiple short form poetry types. Here are some examples of the student’s work.

Haikus

Soft and so fluffy                                                   Fantasy Stories

With a cute pom-pom on top                            With elves, pixies and faires

It cuddles my head                                              You read them with joy

Limericks

There once was a boy from Texas.

Who wanted to buy a Lexus.

So he went to the car,

And drove very far,

To meet his beloved exes.

Colour Poems

Black is the night sky not yet ignited by the moon.

Black is a drop of poison brewed by a villainous witch.

Black is space shining with bright stars.

Black is the colour of car tyres speeding down an endless highway.

Black is wonderful.

By Sasha Marsh

Red is the colour of danger

Red is the colour of the liquid that keeps us alive

Red is mostly in horror games

Red is the stop sign

Red is the colour of hell.

Acrostic Poems

Annoying they are 

Living things they feast on

Indestructible they seem to us 

Excited they are to take over planets

Nothing they won’t eat.

                                       Happy, Weird                               

                              Playing, Singing, Dancing      

                                 Eats lots of bananas

Pavlova

Creamy, Crispy.

Slicing, daydreaming, eating.

Plopping on juicy fruit.
