Today we begin a poetry unit.

Poetry is boring and it can bore you to sleep!!!!!!!

We read love that Dog by Sharon Creech.

Ø  Pause #1:  THIS IS BORING ME TO DEATH. ATLEAST IT’S BETTER THAN MOST POEMS I’VE READ.

Ø  Pause #2: NEEDS TO BE LONGER AND LESS STUPID.

Ø  Pause #3: GETTING A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL STUPID AND SHORT.

Ø  Pause #4: THE AUTHOR IS TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THEM. DOSEN’T PAY ATTENTION TO HER AUDIENCE.

Ø  Pause #5: GETTING A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL BORING.

Ø  Pause#6:  STILL STUPID. NEEDS MORE WORDS.

Ø  End: THIS POEM IS SO MUCH MORE BORING THAN BOOKS. GOT A LITTLE MORE BETTER.

I THINK JACK GOT HIS INSPERATION FROM OTHER POETS, MAINLY WALTER.D.MYERS AND EVERY DAY LIFE.  

HERE’S MY POEM ATTEMPT:

TATERSALAD IS NOT MADE OF TOMATERS, NANERS, OR BANNERS. IT’S MADE OF TATERS . CAN’T USE FRIED GREEN TOMATERS. YOU JUST USE TATERS NOT WHOLE BUT SMOOSHED TATERS. SO IF IT’S TATERSALAD I CALL MYSELF TATERSALAD
