The sixth graders in my reading class hav& justinished writing some poetry. Since a lot of the thoughtsnd words that they chose to use are so interesting, I thoughthat it would be fun to put it into booklet orm so they couldead what their fellow classmates had written and so you asarents could read some of their work. I feel it is reallyuite good for students of their age.There are four types of poetry here. The first is haikuhich is a form of Japanese poetry. Haiku have three lines,hich are usually in a five, seven, five syllabic pattern. ,hey are often written about some aspect of nature and presentivid images.The second type is called cinquain which is a 5-line verse.he first line names a subject of scene. second line describeshe scene, third line uses three -ing words to describe thecene, fourth line is a four-word prepositional phrase, andhe last line is one word that sums up the scene.The third type is called Diamonte' which is a 7-lineerse in diamond shape.The fourth type that we did was looney limericks whichre strictly for fun. We did have to observe a rhythm patternnd a rhyme scheme where the first, second, and fifth lineshyme and the remaining third and fourth lines rhymed.We hope you enjoy reading them! -~
