I don’t understand the poem about the
red wheelbarrow
And the white chickens
And why so much depends on them If that is the poem About the red wheelbarrowAnd the chickens Then any words Can be a poem. You’ve Just Got ToMakeShort Lines
Is Jack right? Can “any words” put together be a poem?
What did you think about
The Red Wheelbarrow

I am sorry to say
I did not really understand
The
tiger tiger burning bright poemBut at least it sounded good In my earsHere is the blue car with tiger sounds…
Blue car, blue car, shining brightIn the darkness of the night:Who could see you speeding byLike a comet in the sky?
I could see you in the night,
Blue car, blue car, shining bright.
I could see you speeding by
like a comet in the sky.
Some of the tiger sounds
Are still in my ears
like drums beat-beat-beating
Slide9Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
“The Tiger” by William Blake
What does “immortal” mean?
What do you think “fearful symmetry’ is?

I liked those
Small
poems
We read today.
When They’re
small
Like that you can read
A whole bunch in a short timeAnd then in your head are all the pictures Of all the small
thingsFrom all the small poems.
Slide15I liked how the kitten leaped
In the cat poemAnd how you could seeThe long head of the horse in the horse poem
And I especially liked the dog
In the dog poem
Because that’s just how
My yellow dog
Used to lie down, With his tongue all limpAnd his chin Between his pawsAnd how he’d sometimesChomp at a flyAnd then sleepIn his loose skinJust like that poet, Miss Valerie Worth, Says,
In her small Dog poem.
Slide16Love That Dog:
Valerie Worth Inspired Poem
Write a poem
describing
an animal, person, plant, insect… it has to be living.
Your poem must be at least 6-8 lines long! Your poem must also include at least 5 verbs! Having trouble?
Picture yourself watching an animal at the zoo! What is the animal? What is it doing?

th
Why do you want
To type up what I wrote
About reading
The small poems?
It’s not a poem?Is it?I guess you can put it on the boardIf you want toBut don’t put my name on it In case other people think It’s not a poem. December 13th
I guess it does look like a poem When you see it typed up like that But, I think maybe It would look better if there was more space
Between the lines
Like how I wrote it
The first time.
And I likes the picture of the yellow dog
you put beside it.
But that’s not how
My yellow dog Looked.

I really
really
really Did NOT get the pasture poemYou read today. I mean:Somebody’s going out to the pastureTo clean the springAnd to get The little tottery calfWhile he’s out thereAnd he isn’t going To be gone long And he wants YOU (Who is YOU?) To come too.
I mean REALLY. And you said that Mr. Robert Frost
Who wrote about the pasture
Was also the one who wrote about
Those snowy woods
And the miles to go
before he sleeps –
Well!
I think Mr. Robert Frost
has a little Too much
time
on his hands!
Slide19Love That Dog: Robert Frost Inspired Poem
Write a poem inviting someone to join you doing or experiencing something that you especially enjoy.
It can be something you like to do outdoors or indoors. It can be a special place that you like to visit or an activity that you enjoy.
Think about the things that make the place or activity special.
Use descriptive words in your poem to encourage the reader to accept your invitation.
Help him or her to see, hear, and feel the wonderful experience that is so special to you.
