Poets

This term we had a whole school perhaps recital but this time we are going to have a poem recital. I memorized a poem that I originally wrote based on the moari legend of how the land and sky came to be apart with little twists. Please read and enjoy.

Land and Sky

Irresistible, attached like gum and a piece of shoe

One man is green, one woman is blue

What a creation they had formed

But soon the children raged and stormed

United as will but anguish building inside

So they planned a vicious plan to separate the groom and bride

Close, irritating like a dirty old rash

Feelings were built up and feelings were outlasted

Close indeed, which they couldn’t stand

With just one touch at the tip of hand

Separated, torn like a tip of thorns

Adrenaline building on the devil with sharp horns

But soon as planned they were separated at last

And feelings of being so close disappeared so fast

Anger, doubt and grief reappeared

Soon the children’s eyes filled up with fear

As women made it storm, as man made it filthy

They became sick and no longer wilthy

No more complaints as they learned to get along

Living up close was never really wrong….

Emotion Poem

Today I have written a poem about 2 emotions which is Dispirited and Euphoria which are happy and sad emotions. This poem includes the 5 senses, similes and descriptive words.

Dispirited

Dispirited is grey like dark gloomy skies hovering over my head wherever I go

It tastes like over salted chips with a sour taste

It smells like the stench of rotten cheese left on the shelf for 10 years

It looks like unpleasant gifts covered in mold and dust with rats in the inside

It sounds like balloons let off without being tied

It feels like you’re a ghost invisible and left out -

Dispirited

Making a mess in the kitchen is good right?

In Reading today I learnt how to include some interesting language features when i'm writing my poems such as enjambment, irony and euphemism. Here is a poem I have happily written about making a mess in the kitchen.

Don’t clean your dishes

leave them out

For sure they’ll clean up

By themselves

Make a big huge mess

On the kitchen counter

Eat all the food

In less than a minute

OH and don’t forget

To have a food fight

Here comes your parents

Happy and delighted

To see what a mess

You have caused

They glance out the room

With a smile on their face

Well at least that is what

I thought they did

My parents come back in

With still  smiles on their faces

happy to clean such a mess

I have made
