Today we started experimenting with some creative poetry. Students looked at the sites below and found poetry that they found interesting. In the comments you can read about the poems the enjoyed and why they thought they were worth reading.
Ex: Kiddos, this is one of my favorite poems. I read it in one of my best friends weddings and every time I hear it it makes me think of the way that we care about the important people in our life. For this reason this poem has special meaning to me.

I read the poem.....I thought.....
ReplyDeleteI read my puppy punched my eye I thought it was hilaireous and i loved the video with the poem
DeleteI read SO SAY THE BOSS by Udiah it remined me of my big brother.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the "Alone (2) by Tami Alshamsi " because it makes me feel of all the people who dont have anyone in their life, not someone to be by their side when they need them and how their life is lonely. It makes me think about my dad who lost is dad,mom and sister. He must of been alone and might of even felt the same as the poem. I hope no one does feel this way but its a real beautiful poem. I hope everyone has someone by their side every day every night :(

ReplyDeleteThe Unicorn
ReplyDeletefrom the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)
A long time ago, when the earth was green
and there was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen,
and they run around free while the world was bein' born,
and the lovliest of all was the Unicorn.
There was green alligators and long-neck geese.
There was humpy bumpy camels and chimpanzees.
There was catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born
the lovliest of all was the Unicorn.
But the Lord seen some sinnin', and it caused him pain.
He says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain."
He says, "Hey Brother Noah, I'll tell ya whatcha do.
Go and build me a floatin' zoo.
And you take two alligators and a couple of geese,
two humpy bumpy camels and two chimpanzees.
Take two catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born,
Noah, don't you forget my Unicorn."
Now Noah was there, he answered the callin'
and he finished up the ark just as the rain was fallin'.
He marched in the animals two by two,
and he called out as they went through,
"Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and your couple of geese,
your humpy bumpy camels and your chimpanzees.
Got your catsandratsandelephants - but Lord, I'm so forlorn
'cause I just don't see no Unicorn."
Ol' Noah looked out through the drivin' rain
but the Unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games.
They were kickin' and splashin' in the misty morn,
oh them silly Unicorn.
The the goat started goatin', and the snake started snakin',
the elephant started elephantin', and the boat started shaking'.
The mouse started squeakin', and the lion started roarin',
and everyone's abourd but the Unicorn.
I mean the green alligators and the long-neck geese,
the humpy bumpy camels and the chimpanzees.
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is pourin' -
and we just can't wait for them Unicorn."
Then the ark started movin', and it drifted with the tide,
and the Unicorns looked up from the rock and cried.
And the water come up and sort of floated them away -
that's why you've never seen a Unicorn to this day.
You'll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese.
You'll see humpy bumpy camels and lots of chimpanzees.
You'll see catsandratsandelephants, but sure as you're born
you're never gonna see no Unicorn.
By,Shel Silverstien
