Kia Ora Bloggers,
today's post will be about the writing we have been doing in class - Poetry.
We have been doing a workbook over the past 2 (ish) weeks where we have studied different poet's poetry and learnt how to write some of our own. Each week we get around 40 minutes to write a poem, that means that last week we did one and we did one this week also!
Today, we had to do a 'Free Verse' poem. This is basically where you can do anything, it shouldn't all rhyme but there can be some rhymes, as well as rhythms etc....
It is different because other poems usually have rhythms and repetition, but this one is Free Verse as explained earlier.
So today, I wrote one. It was actually difficult because I was doing one of 'If I were an owl'. I started writing and it didn't go well, the same thing happened with my 2nd poem which was about summer. I was very frustrated and it was hard.
Eventually, I wrote one about time, and i write it really quickly, so I didn't get much time to edit it. So, I thought that for my blog post, I would share it with you, I did film it so I just put it in a slide with the poem, here it is:
I really enjoyed doing this even though finding the right topic for me was challenging. I am really happy with how my poem turned out and I am proud of myself for doing this.
I hope you enjoyed and I will see you next time!
