Poetry in Motion
The students in 1/2OT have been using their creativity to write beautiful poetic words.
Three different styles of poems are represented in the poetry below. They styles are:
A cinquain poem is a five-line poem. It's a short, concise form of poetry, inspired by Japanese forms like haiku. While cinquains can be written on any subject, they are known for their structured syllable count and their ability to convey a lot with few words.
A raindrop poem focuses on imagery, symbolism, or experience of a single raindrop or raindrops in general. These poems often explore themes of nature, life, interconnectedness, and even human emotions, using the raindrop as a focal point or metaphor. It follows a raindrop shape.
An acrostic poem is where specific letters, usually the first letter of each line, spell out a word, name, or phrase when read vertically. This "hidden" word or phrase is often related to the poem's topic or theme.
Raindrop Shape Poem
Splish splash
Raindrops are falling,
from the clouds. Splashing on
my face so loud. It fills the rivers,
lakes and beaches. It is
important for you
and me!

Acrostic Poem
Strong winds blow things
Trees fall in the breeze
Ocean waters swirl
Rain pours over us
Mud splashes as rain falls
Striking lightning
