Poetry Play

We all ended up writing poetry over the last week, so here are some of our creations


A Strange Flower

Yellow white center,
Creamy petals, green grass leaves,
Living together

Dancing in the wind,
Swaying like ballet dancers,
Gently looking up.


                        By Dancing Butterfly (10 yrs)


Squeak
Says the mouse following the rat,
Meow, purr purr,
Said the cat looking for the rat,
Squeeeak!!!!!
Says the rat running from the cat.  


                                        By Happy Feet (7 yrs)


My Attempt,


Bumblebee

Angry and buzzing
Rushing between the flowers,
Fuzzy energy

or inspired by one of the Iris's in the garden, I still have to work out how to include the photo that belongs with this one.

Creamy white petals,
Cascading skirts of yellow,
Cascading iris.

I've enjoyed our times playing with poetry it's one of the highlights of this year.

About Me

Reflections on life and homeschooling from my rose garden. My focus is my three kids, Dancing Butterfly, Einstein and Happy-Feet, the way God speaks into our lives, and the lessons we learn. Officially we us a Classical Approach to our home-school, but I think that's often just the framework for my sanity. As we live in New Zealand, and enjoy nature and photography theirs likely to be a little of our local nature studies as well.
