We are focusing on Poetry for our reading and writing for some of Term 2. ==Below are some Haiku and Limerick poems that we wrote during the term. We got really good at using these rhyming patterns and with using the correct rhythm for each different type of poem. ==



Check out some poetry reading by students overseas. We hope to have our own poetry reading on our wiki by the end of the term media type="custom" key="727593"

27.05.08 A poem that Hannah found on an environmental website:

pollution: The trash that we toss to the street without care the car leaking oil in a driveway of stains the potions we spray to kill bugs and feed shrubs wash away with the rains, down gutter storm drains

The refuse flows into rivers and streams where we once rowed our boats, so gently in dreams and out to the ocean we've polluted, disgraced take care to recycle and dispose of your waste!

A cool poem that we enjoyed during writing today...

__Old, old elephant by Sheryl Perrson __

Old, old elephant your leather skin is a crumpled paper bag sun-shrivelled, mud- caked. You foot-plod sway on tree trunk legs and never forget.

Old, blind elephant your eyes are pearl drops opal colours swish wash together. Your window to the world is almost shut but you never forget.

Wise old creature gentle giant if only I could learn your wisdom and hear the beat of jungle secrets that you will never forget.
