K's poems 7/26/07

Posted in Children's Work
This week's project was poetry.  We learned about different types of poetry--quatrains and couplets.  So first, she was to write a quatrain:

While standing, I saw a beast. 
As I crouched down, I saw it was a moose! 
Then it saw me, it wasn't scared at least. 
As I stood up, I saw a little goose!

Yesterday's assignment was to write a rhyming couplet about one of the historical figures we're learning about.  K wrote about Paul Revere:

"Here come the British," yelled Paul Revere.
Then the Minutemen knew; the British were near!!

Today we learned about free verse poetry, poetry that didn't follow any "rules".  K wrote this:

Laila the cat compared to me
Black as ebony,
soft as silk.
Laila the cat is filled with milk

Sweet as honey
But heavy as lead.

Laila the cat is snuggled in bed.
As for me I'm stuck in school,
boring as a wall.
The only toy here is a tiny deformed ball.

She drew pictures to go with the poem, but I don't have a scanner.  Too bad!  They were really cute.

You Are a Mac
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg.
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe.
What Your Pizza Reveals
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US. Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you. You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average.
