Poetry Club!

Last term we did lego club with The Furlongs. This term we are doing a poetry club. We call it
H. L.P.L.U.F. E. Rs which stand for "Home Learners Poetry Likers United For Educational Reasons."

We study different kinds of poetry and read it and we make up poems together.

These are some of the ones we have done so far:

(all of these next poems were made up by Sophia, Eleanor, Keon and Levi together.)

Gator
I once had a gator
but my little sister ate her
She tastes like Indian
So it's hard to keep the windies in.

Mouse
A tree mouse, a street mouse
A dinky, stinky feet mouse
A living in the stinky trash
and eats the mouldy meat mouse.


Couplets:

Levi
Levi is awesomely cute
and he is the king of fruit,

His brother says he's annoying,
but I think he's just toying.

He's trying to learn an ollie,
and he's good at it, oh golly.

And the thing you should know about him most,
is he's the kindest person I know.
