Spine Poetry
We are enjoying learning about poems and we had a lot of fun pulling (so many) library books off the shelves to create spine poems! We are so thankful to everyone who works so hard and volunteers in our library to re-shelve books so we can do really neat things like this! If you ever want to volunteer to help in our library please don’t hesitate to contact the school! We started off by reading the spine poem Mrs. N created to inspire us. She had us visualize the time of day this poem may take place, how it could be like a dream, and how it told a very short story.
Today is Monday.
I dreamt,
The most magnificent thing.
The shape of my heart,
It looked like spilt milk.
Day is done.
Tuesday.
Again.
Spine poem by: Mrs. Normand
After we had a good understanding of what a spine poem is Mrs. N. gave us the choice of working in a group or alone to create our poems. Here are the spine poems we created. Try to visualize the poems in your head as you read them! We are learning to do that as we listen to stories and poems.
Day is done,
Today is Monday.
Little lost bat.
Tuesday,
I dreamt,
The cat came back,
It looked like spilt milk.
Wake up world,
One world together,
The earth made new.
King of the skies,
Listen to the wind.
Water,
Cats,
The cat came back.
Little lost bat,
On the move,
Today is Monday.
A visit to the circus,
Nothing like a puffin.
Star stuff,
The right word,
Mr. Ferris and his wheel.
David smells,
Smelly socks,
Again!
Oh no! Not again!
David gets in trouble.
Oh no!
My crocodile does not bite.
How big is it?
Dealing with bullying.
How to be a cat,
I am cat.
Cat, you better come home.
Why?
Mattoo, Let’s play.
The lighthouse cat.
Bear under the stairs,
Don’t wake the bear!
Mr. Bear and the bear.
One special day,
The cat next door,
The Klondike cat,
My house.
The runaway hug,
Hug me,
When I feel sad.
Hug Machine,
Happy!
