For this learning at home activity we had to either write a recount about our bubble life, or you could do what I did, create a poem, an acrostic poem, a haiku poem or a limerick. I chose to do a limerick. No matter what poem you chose it had to be about spring. It took me a while to make my limerick but it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.
The thing that was slightly easier than the rest was deciding the first line, I knew I was going to use it because that is what I wake up to every day. Because I have my own room and it is close to the top of my family's house. The other easy thing was understanding the rules behind the limerick. If you want to learn them click here.
The thing that challenged me most in this activity was making my limerick sound cool. In the video explaining limericks it doesn't say anything about the syllable structure. So I ended up adding too many syllables into my limerick. The syllable structure goes like this: The first, second and fifth line have eight or nine syllables and the third and fourth line have five or six.
To improve my limericks next time I will follow the syllable structure that I mentioned just now. It might be a little bit difficult but I would manage.
Great mahi Isobel. I like the way you have challenged yourself while creating a very groovy Limerick.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that next time you could try and follow the syllable structure, it really does help create a groovy beat when you say it.
Next time you could also add audio so we can hear how cool it sounds.
Keep up the fantastic mahi.
