What is Poetry?
Poetry is a river, poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context, almost everything, in the end, passes.
-Mary Oliver (A Poetry Handbook)
What is Poetry? My Definition!
I think poetry is .…A way to express ones feelings or
state a point.I don’t think that poetry will ever grow
old.
-Me
Acrostic
The word acrostic is formed from the Greek word acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry). The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read them looking downward.

Panthers growl,Orioles sing, Eagles soar, Monkeys swing. See?
My Acrostic #1
Sunset glowing along the waters edge
Paradise for all the spring lambies
Rivers shinier than ever
Inside or out, the sun is shining through
New life for leaves on trees
Great children playing outside
My Acrostic #2Bed covers pulled uped covers pulled up
Everything is quiet
Don’t disturb me!
Toasty and warm in my bed, jealous?
I’m the only one making any noise *snore*
My cat is sleeping on my bed
Everything has been turned off
Haiku
n COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEMn The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct
discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.
- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables
When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .
n Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.

They have learned to bend

My Free Verse #1
There once was a fat koala
Who lived in a ice-cream parlor
He would eat and eat
And would never sleep
Even if his mummy said soala (so)
The koala said
“Im am very fat and proud”
And hid in the bush
Mixed: Limerick, Haiku
My Free Verse #2
I went to the beach today
And in the sand I dug
I dug so deep my nails were black
And then I heard a crack
A bucket I saw
A shiny red bucket
It had a crack in it
And that was when I realised
I had created a strange and mysterious universe.
My little universe
Collected Free Verse #1
Feet on the ground by the stepping stones
Terra firma underneath my shaking knees
And trembling heart stretched over chasms
That I never thought I'd see just from the edge
And now I'm hanging over, wondering, in midair.
No song would be enough, no notes sufficient
To sing the joy and apprehension strung through me
Waiting to be a melody, point and counterpoint
From each, seeming to be forever, with drumbeats
Resonating in fingers and throats.
Awareness ripples along every nerve, calm,
Inescapable and welcome, like the knowledge
Waking somewhere in my brain that there is
Something more here than eyes can see, or
Five senses pick up, something rare and invisible.
And for the first time I understand what I want and
What Juliet knew, and I see where I have stood
All this time, not alone but supported, held
By something if not the someone holding me now--
It is love, and I will not fall.

Where I stand
Collected Free Verse #2
My game face is blue.
I must put it back on, see
How much of my glory was real
And how much fever.
I see drawn eyes, too much marring,
A suit of swan feathers
Without the matching shape.
And however I imagine lights,
No straw spins to gold.
I see as I have been seen,
Not radiant, but ashine in hope
Yet to see a finish.

Rapunzel’s Rap
Rapunzel was a girl with hair of goldTrapped in a tower in days of old
She wasn’t allowed outside to playAnd her golden hair grew longer each dayGrew longer and longer and longer each day.
The witch who locked her up was meanWith a pointed nose and a face of greenMean mean meaner than the queen of mean.
- Sonja Dunn
My Rap Poem #1
There once was an old lady who never said please,
She walked down the street one day and got covered in cheese.
So she ran back home and took a shower,
Got her broomstick and said “I’ve got the power”.
She got on her broomstick and zoomed to the supermarket,
But realised there was no-where to park it.
So she decided to go to the park,
But by the time she got there it was dark.
She went home and cooked up a potion,
And it turned into body lotion.
So she went to bed and thought “Today has twisted me around the bend”
And now the poem has finished, The End.
