Today in class, the kids got the chance to look at some great poetry and then go out and give it a try. They were amazing. I am not sure that this is quality work, but I chose "Dogku" by Andrew Clements. I gave it a twist, however, and wrote "Catku". Here it is.
CATKU
A tale in haiku of one tough cat.
I have a tough cat,
A scar underneath his chin,
He is a bruiser.
My house has four dogs.
Of them, he is not afraid.
It is his domain.
Gray stripes and white paws,
Green eyes that glow like jewels,
My little lion.
Look at him sunning,
Not a care, paws are outstretched,
My tough danger-cat.
A scar underneath his chin,
He is a bruiser.
My house has four dogs.
Of them, he is not afraid.
It is his domain.
Gray stripes and white paws,
Green eyes that glow like jewels,
My little lion.
Look at him sunning,
Not a care, paws are outstretched,
My tough danger-cat.
