Pigeon- Quatrain

I spent the day in Central Park reading and writing the following poem and saw a whole bunch of pigeons. There was one that was really interesting and I took a picture of him.

Chocolates- Quatrain

I have returned from Switzerland and have brought back many chocolates to enjoy!

A magical Day- haiku

I took a trip to Florida and visited Harry Potter land. It was amazing and the whole place looked magic.

A Day in the City- haiku

I took a trip to Toronto and went to the CN Tower. On the glass floor I looked down and could not believe it.

A sparkling glass floor
Forces me to look down at
The small cars and streets

Metonymy Poems

I have written 3 different poems on subjects I care about. My first is about one of my favourite months of the year, especially when I was younger.

June
Summer has come
School's almost done
Flowers have bloomed
Lot's of sunshine
Everyone's wearing shorts
Drinking lemonade

The second poem I have written was inspired by my trip to Montreal. I got to go to my first We Day, which was so exciting.

We Day
Crowds cheering
Inspirational speakers
Flashing cameras
Life-changing experiences
Learning to make a difference
Having a great time

The final poem is something I have learned a lot about which is child labour.

Child Labourers
Working long hours
No right to speak
Little food
Under-paid
Getting Beaten
Very young

Drought in Africa- a haiku

Where has it all gone?

My throat so rough and dried.

The water has left.

Having a drought where you live can leave you sick and poor. With no water you can't drink, wash clothes, cook or water crops.

Diamante- Look How Lucky We Are

Being hungry is something we DO NOT understand. This diamante is about a child here in North America who has enough to eat compared to a child in a country who usually does not eat enough.

Full

Energetic, Happy

Chewing, Gulping, Swallowing

Stores, Money, Soldiers, Dirt

Crying, starving, dieing

 Thin, Upset

Empty

A Diamante and a Haiku

For my diamante, I did two places i have recently visited- Nunavut and New York City.
I call my diamante "Loud vs Quiet"

New York City

 Loud, Crazy

Shouting, Rushing, Shopping
Lights, Museums, Snowflakes,Inukshuks
Whispering, Walking, Sleeping
Quiet, Cold
Nunavut

For my haiku, I did a poem about the wind. Wind travels from place to places, just like what my blog will do overtime. This haiku is called "Cold Darkness"

Wind blows past a tree,

Into the darkness of night

As fast as lightning.
