Poetry Writing

Here are a couple of examples of poetry written by two Grade 3 students. Both use some interesting vocabulary and are good examples of different types of poetry.

The first one is a stair poem written by Tara who recently acquired a pet hamster and wanted to write about her.

The second poem is a cinquain written by Nathaniel about himself.

If this inspires you to write and illustrate a poem, great! Forward it to me and I will post it to share with the class. Make sure the words are printed darkly with lots of spacing between the words so that the poem is easier to read. Also, include a coloured illustration as it shows up much better.
