I am still trying my hand at this poetry thing. I have tried writing free verse and acrostics so far. For this entry I decided to try out writing some constrained poetry. In writing this poem, I used only three syllables per line.
Seaside Fun
Crying gulls
Crashing waves
Sun baked sand
Fragrant breeze
Drowsy bliss
Gleaming tans
Laughing kids
Sculpting forts
Melting treats
Setting sun
Homeward bound

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteIf you like poetry with structure, try your hand at writing a cinquain. It's my favorite form of poetry, and the form I teach most often to my third graders. Are you familiar with the form? Here's a link for instructions:

They are a lot of fun once you get going!
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI have heard of a cinquain, but I don't know my about them. I will definitely check out the link and see if I can work through one. I love a challenge! :)
