Poetry Friday

Today the children were to write a four line poem, using either iambic, trochaic, dactylic, or anapestic feet and either tetrameter or pentameter. Here is Katie's...

The Doughnut Crisis

I have a doughnut big and round.

He weighs about a thousand pound.

He is a good and loving friend,

But sadly soon his days will end.

Perfect iambic tetrameter! (and it always pays to choose a subject you are passionate about!)

and Travis's...

his is more...ahh... psychedelic is the best I can come up with.  But, it is also in iambic tetrameter, and that was what I required.

Quest for the Witch's Pants

The three shrimp drove the mustard car,

But then my pretzel did a dance,

Because it knew the singing jar,

Then two hams stole the witch's pants.
