We've been teaching the kindergartners about different types of poetry. I have been sharing some of my pieces as well as sharing nursery rhymes, etc. They are really awesome about creating poems that rhyme and writing pieces from a prompt. Poetry using phrases throw them for a loop. I can tell that they are all itching to add punctuation. Maybe I stressed that too much this year. Poor kiddos. We also touched on how song lyrics are like poems. Some really liked haiku. (A haiku is a poem of three lines. The first line has 5 syllables; second line has 7 syllables ; third line has 5 syllables.) Here's one of mine:
Flowers blossom now.
Children run across the park.
Nature dances near.
Can you write a haiku?

Every time I come,
Your artsy flair and kind wit,
Leave me wanting more.
You have the patients of a saint!!!
Did you finish your pottery yet?
Elizabeth--cool haiku girl! :-)
M-No. I haven't been back there at all. I'll get around to it someday. I have some scrapping to do first.
I loved writting poems in school.
I can see why the kids enjoy it so much.
