This is an Haiku Poem that i  made up.

The wind from the city

How it is so very dirty

Help clean the earth

Lets do some fun poems! Put some poems in like the example:

There once was a man called Bill.

His best friends were jack and jill.

One sunny day,

They went out to play,

And fell down a great big hill.

Have fun!

You’ve all written book reviews. Have you written Haiku – the traditional form of Japanese poetry written in 3 lines; the first line with 5 syllables, the second line with 7 syllables, and the third line with 5 syllables?

Here’s your chance to combine your skills. Try writing a book review in Haiku form.

eg. Mutiny on the Bounty by John Boyne

Fourteen year old John

Caught up in a mutiny

Will he live or die?

Add your haiku to the comments on this post, and I’ll publish the really good ones as posts in their own right. A prize for the best one will be awarded during the last week of term.

(Apologies to the insideadog team from whom I pinched this idea).

There is little talk on poetry, which I assume is incorporated in this blog, though I do concede that there has been a bit.

One of my favourites is:

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost (1874–1963)

Does anybody else have any good poetry to share?

Are you not that good at poetry? Do rhyming words confuse you? Then this is the blog for you!! What this post is about is poems that are just 2 words long!!!!!!!!!! And they don’t even have to rhyme! What you have to do is think about something (like a pet etc.) and think up 2 words that best describes it.   Such as…         “My Dog”

                                              Energetic.

                                              Mess.

Post a comment of any Poems you have thought up.
