Poetry

Poetry is a creative expression of our thoughts and/or feelings.
In honor of Mother's Day, we will write poems to tribute our mother's and publish them online for the world/cyberspace to see!

We will write a 5-line poem in the following CONSTRUCTIVIST manner.
  1. On the first line write a noun of your choice
  2. On the second line write two adjectives joined by and to describe this noun
  3. On the third line write a verb and an adverb to describe this noun in action
  4. Start the fourth line with like or as followed by a comparison
  5. Start the final line with if only followed by a wish

Below is an example of such a poem (written by the Norwegian pupil Sven GrĂ¼ner):

Politician

phoney and false

lying desperately

like a mocking bird

if only I had the key to the bird cage

Now it's your turn. Let's write poems about our mothers!
