Visit from a real live poet!!

Paula Green is a New Zealand poet who has written lots of awesome poetry. We were lucky enough to have her visit our school a few weeks ago and she came and took a poetry workshop in our class. She challenged us to write poems with 10 words or less. She helped us achieve this goal. Here are some of our poems. What do you think?

Dirty teeth
Slow movements
Grey, brown, big
Heavy body.

Stand on one leg
They are tall
Pink like marshmallows

Meerkat
Running fast
Hiding in my burrow
I’m a meerkat.
