Week Six: Free Choise

Fall is a big ball
always bouncing up and down
leaves flying around

Week Five: Ryming Poem

This morning is our history test.
I've pinned my notes inside my vest.
Inside my coat I wrote my notes,
including dates and famous quotes.
I've written more upon my hand
that only I can understand,
and in my socks and sleeves I stowed
my scribbled notes in secret code.

Week Four: Narrative Poetry

I am
Life, Hope, Living
I care very much about the world and life on it.
Honesty is important to me.
Optimism is important to me.
Unselfishness is important to me.
Hospitality is a good thing.
The world is getting weaker.
The longer the days the more beautiful they are.
People are too negative.
I am.

Week Three: Limerick

There was a young man from Dundee,
Got stung on the leg with a wasp
When asked if it hurt
He said no not a bit
It can do it again if it likes!
