Haiku

Today we started making haikus in writing. A haiku is a short poem with three lines. The first and third lines have five syllables and the second line has seven. I did a haiku about my cat Jeffrey who is very annoying and meows and scratches at my door at three in the morning and when you open the door she doesn't even want to come in! This is my haiku.

Jeffery cat. A true story.

Jeffrey cat’s sassy

She's meowing at my door

It is two A.M.

Sun Poem

Yesterday and today Room Five wrote a sun poem. The way these poems went is, A comparison for what the sun is like a gold coin, A ing verb like brightly then a describing word like scorching. and it goes on like this for three verses each with two sentences like the one I describe. My one went like this.

The sun is a light bulb brightly burning the sky.
It is an orb of fire masterfully scorching the earth.

The sun is a giant grapefruit shooting scalding juice across the sky.
It is a fire singeing the landscape.

The sun is a golden coin running across the light sky.
It is a spider stalking through the sky.
