I listened to the poem called "Cotton Candy" by Edward Hirsch. The reason I chose the pond cotton candy was because I was kind of hungry at the time and cotton candy appealed to me. The poem is about a young boy and his grandfather walking on a bridge, and the boy is eating Cotton Candy. The way the author described the story made it extremely easy to imagine the two people walking on a small brown bridge, while the boy eats his fluffy, blue cotton candy.
Meet the stegosaurus, Wayne.
He doesn't have the biggest brain.
He's long and heavy, wide and tall,
but has a brain that's super small.
He's not the brightest dinosaur.
He thinks that one plus one is four.
He can't remember up from down.
He thinks the sky is chocolate brown.
He wears his blue tie on his tail
and likes to eat the daily mail.
When playing hide-and-seek he tries
to hide by covering his eyes.
He thinks that black is really white.
He's sure the sun comes out at night.
He thinks that money grows on trees
and when it's hot he starts to freeze.
And that is Wayne the Stegosaurus.
Great job Matt! I liked the sound and all of the rhyming. I liked all of the detail in your words! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteMatt this was the most interesting poem I have heard yet! I also like how you used a lot of rhyming sounds and how you were really descriptive about Wayne.
