In my mom’s class (she’s my LA and Reading teacher), we wrote a poem. Here’s mine.
ENJOY!!!!
I stand,
Water flowing around me.
An eagle above,
lets loose a mighty shriek,
as it dives after it’s prey.
Then,
a quick flash of light in the water.
I jerk back my pole to set the hook.
A vigorous bright colored trout leaps from the water.
At long last,
I finally land the lustrous beast.
As I congratulate myself on a job well done,
I’m amazed by the fish’s beauty.
Then I quietly slip the trout into the water,
and watch it slip away,
into the lake’s shadowy depths.
You have amazing imagery and word choice in your poem. I have enjoyed teaching you my son.
I am amazed! As I read this I was actually taken back to memories of fishing. There is no describing the feeling of that pull on the end of a line. Having said that, I believe making someone feel something based on your words is powerful! The fact you are in sixth grade and can produce this in 15 minutes—set your goals high because you have a talent that will lead you ANYWHERE you want to go!
Awesome job! Thank you for sharing this. You need to share more of your writing with us.
