Poetry

We recently studied poetry. Included in our study were three different types of poems that follow specific patterns: cinquain, limerick, and haiku.  Below you will find examples of the three types that were written by my students. 

The five lines of a cinquain consist of a one-word title, two describing words, three action words, four feeling words, and a one-word synonym for the title.

A limerick is five lines.  Lines one, two, and five rhyme.  Lines three and four rhyme.  Limericks are silly.

I am a bee

yes me

I am flying

I am sighing

Can you "bee"lieve that I am a bee?

By Abby

A haiku is a Japanese poem that is three lines long.  The first and third lines have five syllables.  The second line has seven syllables.  The subject of a haiku poem is usually something found in nature.

A busy squirrel lands

on a beautiful tree now

to eat a fresh nut.

By Ricardo

Do you know of any other types of poems? If you can think of a poem to share with us, please do!
