Writing Poetry in 6 McLaren

In English we have been looking at writing poems. We got the chance to pick any poet and we had to analyse things about their life and impact on society and poetry. Also while researching about the poem we had to find figurative language that was used in the poem for example a metaphor from my poem would be ‘So I am sunk deep drowned in harshness’. We have also been writing haiku poems, magnetic poems and an ‘I am From’ poem. I have really enjoyed this English unit because you can see how many different ways poems can be formed and said. We haven’t finished this unit yet so we will see what poem we will be learning about next.

I enjoyed the poetry unit, my favourite type of poem that we analysed were haikus because they super hard yet super simple because you have to make sure all of the syllables are accurate

Lucinda O

I really like poetry because it is a different way to share your ideas and be creative

Emma E

I loved learning poetry because it is creative and fun to write. My favourite thing about poetry is being able to make my poems rhyme.

Haiku examples:

Insects

The small little bugs,
On the ground or in the sky,
Cicadas buzzing

Ciara

The Stars

The sky’s silent words
Big and small all are welcomed
Glittering spirits

Beach

Cold beach, having fun
Boogie boarding the big waves
The hot sand on my feet
