Limericks

In class we have been learning about Limericks. A Limerick poem is a poem that has five lines it has a type of rhythm. It also has to have a rhyming word at the end of every line, two rhyming words in the first two lines and the third and fourth lines have to have a different rhyming word at the end and the last line has to rhyme with the first and second. Here is a Limerick poem that I wrote.

                  Polly
There once was a girl named Polly.
Who bought a very big dolly.
She sat it on her shelf,
Next to the elf.
And now she's very jolly.

Free verse poem-Dancing

We have been learning about all sorts of different poems in class. This is my free verse poem.

           Dancing

She has pink bows in her hair.

She rushes past like a speeding motorbike.

Her jumps are so perfect like they were meant to be.

The dancers pirouette is as fast as a hurricane.

The slight move she makes has noise.

The stage set like she was put with it.

Then she suddenly jumped into scary music.

The dancers body in the making.
