My favourite poem is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. I like this poem because it leaves me with lots of questions. Every time I read it, I have another question that I would ask the tree.

This one was in Diary of a Wimpy Kid
i like the jabberwocky by lewis carroll because the words don’t really make sense and you are trying to guess the word and you laugh at times
I agree, the jabberwocky is a great poem
I like the sound of it and it is interesting to listen to and read.
That is my favourite poem, Mr Carroll’s imagination and inventiveness results are hilariously inspiring!
The jabawoky has always made me laugh. It’s a great poem and the poet is really imaginative.

I like Robert Southey poems because its interesting and it tells you all about the poem it is about.
With wayworn feet a Pilgrim woe-begone
Life’s upward road I journeyed many a day,
And hymning many a sad yet soothing lay
Beguil’d my wandering with the charms of song.
Lonely my heart and rugged was my way,
Yet often pluck’d I as I past along
The wild and simple flowers of Poesy,
And as beseem’d the wayward Fancy’s child
Entwin’d each random weed that pleas’d mine eye.
Accept the wreath, BELOVED! it is wild
And rudely garlanded; yet scorn not thou
The humble offering, where the sad rue weaves
‘Mid gayer flowers its intermingled leaves,
And I have twin’d the myrtle for thy brow.
Robert Southey
I came across this poem just now and am transformed into this world of all five scents of a world of nature. The vocabulary in this is entrancing! I like the rhyme pattern of couplets.
I really like the star poem because it leaves many questions of where the star has gone it makes me feel more confident and special and to believe that nothing is impossible!

I like the poem The Owl and the Pussy Cat because ever since I was little my mum always read it to me. I would always try to memorize it. We have given it to my younger cousin who loved it too and we always used to say it by heart to each other and i would read it to her at night!
I know how you feel. the owl and the pussy cat has always been one of my favourite ever since i was little and i’ve memorised the whole thing (it took a long time).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lOo315p9WM&safe=active
I like “no breathing in class” by Michael Rosen because he changes his expression and his voice to add humour.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1cfVQyrQ3Q
I really like the impossible-in-our-world-right-now element which makes it more intising because it is something that you don’t hear on a daily bases and is new. I think he based it on a parent telling children about their childhood to make them feel like they’re getting the better side of school.
I like the poem Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, because it includes his family in the hunt.
https://islingtongovuk.j2bloggy.com/FutureZone-Poetry-2015/

I really like the poem ‘Granny is’ by Valerie Bloom. I like it because Valerie Bloom manages to describe Granny in practically every possible way, included lots of different senses; listening, smelling, sight, and more. My favourite part is when Valerie Bloom describes Granny as the fresh smell of coffee in the morning.
my best poem is my fat cat This is how it starts My cat’s name is Bod,
He’s really very fat.
His stomach’s on the floor,
And he can’t get through his flap He eats and eats and eats,
He just never seems to stop.
And when we fill his bowl
Not one morsel does he drop! His fur is very black
With white bits on his face.
But he spends most the time
Curled up in his favourite place. He never runs around,
Or sneak or pounce or jump.
My big fat cat called Bod
Really is a lazy lump!

The Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.
by William Blake
I like this poem because it has feelings and thoughts.
Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
That is a really emotional poem! I felt like crying.
I like the poem Jaberrowocke Its fun and I like how you need suggest what the words mean.
Grafton Primary School 15\10\15
I really love the Jabberwocky because its made up and u get to express how much you want and have lots of fun !!!
I like the visitor because it is scary but it works really well
i like the poem the Jabberwocky by LewisCarroll because i like that he put madeup words.
i have been inspired by my sister when she wrote this poem in a poetry slam about racism within society.
Discrimination
discrimination alienation
i am no different from you
you no different from me
yet you know the saying
if your white your alight
if your black stay back
why do you hate me
attack me
misrepresent me
the temptation to make me hurt
your dedication to make me revert
i am black so i must a criminal right
i would do the unthinkable
and it would be so bad its unforgivable and
i would never get caught because in the dark am invisible
i am black so i mush be a terrorist right
no open your eyes you ignorant people and realise reality
the voice of racism preaching your souls is devilish
look at me long enough not to judge me
you judge a book by its cover before you know the full story
have you opened it
read it
understood it
look at my hand are all my fingers the same no
so why do you label and stereotype
is it because your fairytale wont follow
or is it because you think i wont tell
By Fatima Aqiil
i like willow tree from the film my girl
Weeping willow with your tears running down,
why do you always weep and frown?
is it because he left you one day?
is it because he couldnt not stay?
on your branches he would swing,
do you love the happiness that he would bring?
he found shelter in your shade,
we thought his laughter would never fade!
Weeping willow stop your tears,
there is something to calm your fears,
you think death as you do forever part,
i know he will always be in your heart!
I love the personification that is really strong and moving.
I really liked the visitor because it was very mysterious.
I think chocolate cake by Michael Rosen is really good and very funny, he also acts in his poems as well and I like that alot
i think the poem snowman is a sad poem
Like alot of other people i love Michael Rosen’s Chocolate Cake Poem and i also like Revolting Rhymes Roald Dahl as it’s VERY funny and gruesome.
I also like ‘Granny’ by Valerie Bloom she actually came to our school and she was really kind and lovely and was very funny she really interacted with us, we all really enjoyed it.
I like granny is because is is strange .

I like the poem the lady of shallot, its so upsetting but really powerfull. I especially love the paintings that go with it
I wonder if you could share the poem and painting with us?
On a warm summers day
I went to a pool, to relax, to have fun and to forget all of my worries.
I saw a majestic blue fin soaring through the water.
As I saw a mermaid scared in deep water I swam towards its watery lair.
I swam closer and as I got closer it swam further away.
It was like there was always miles between us.
I put my hand out and it refused to go anywhere near me.
I heard a sinister sound. I looked behind me, nothing was there.
I looked back at the mermaid, it was nowhere to be seen…
I like the poem ‘fast rode the knight ‘ because it shows you the different side of people . For example the knight at first is all brave and then you see the real side to the knight.
this is a poem I wrote:
O beautiful Pegasus in the breezy sky
The handsome man took pictures of me
Looked up, and saw me soaring in the sky
One day it was silent the man came outside
It was Halloween night
He saw a Pegasus over there and over here!
There was blood everywhere.
The next day it was all silent..
Hi Lorin,
This looks like an interesting starting point.
I wonder if you could make changes to this to make it more poetic?
I really don’t like Fast rode the knight because it dosen’t make me feel anything but animals are humans treat them how you want to be treated.
I don’t like this poem because a knight is suppose to save people and innocent animals not kill animals not stabbing 50,000 times with hot and reeking spurs.
I love chocolate cake Because it is so funny and I eat it every day and I always get it on my face
I agree with Dylan and stevie
A horse blowing , staggering , bloody thing , Forgotten at foot of castle wall .
A horse dead at foot of castle wall .
The years has past but still years has past and I’m still in there , still in there .
No one picked me up , only my phantom .
What should I do , what should I do ?
…..
Fast rode the knight with spurs , hot and reeking, ever waving an eager sword , ” To save my lady !” Fast rode the knight, and leaped from saddle to war .
Hi Julie,
What an interesting idea to give a voice to the horse! Also I like the way you’ve changed the time scale.
I like this poem because we are writing about it and I am interested about it
I like fast rode the knight because the author(Stephen crane) was trying to cause tension in the poem by making the reader think that the knight was the good guy but actually he wasn’t he left the horse behind to die.
That’s an interesting idea James about tension in the poem. I guess there is a surprise.
I like fast
A horse,
blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
forgotten at foot of castle wall.
A horse.
As the horse rode on and on,
dropped the knight
and carried on.
The blowing wind didn’t stop the horse,
but as it kept on going and going.
It was dead foot next to the castle’s great hall.
Dropped!
As the knight was lying on the floor.
In danger, as the enemy came charging.
But his banner still waves in the blowing wind.
That’s super Maryam. Reversing the focus changes the poem significantly.
I like poems that rhyme like chocolate cake by Micheal Rosen
I enjoy poems because it’s good to learn.
I like the poem Fast Rode The Knight because it changes the mood of the knight and he is kind in the first half of the poem. whilst he was riding the horse, he was digging his shoes into the horse. the five dots separates the poem. in the other half, the horse drops dead at the foot of the castle due to the rider digging his shoes into the horse.
Hi Juweriya,
Thank you for the summary of the poem.
Could you tell us more about why you like it?
I like the Michael Rosen Rap because it is fun.
the poem I would like to write about is a style poem which is like when you have to detail it

No breathing in class by Micheal Rosen is my favourite because I like how he takes quick breaths and always gets away with it and the teacher is also very strict. It says that classmates always get away with it and plop plop’ plop’ plop’ plop ‘all around him its very funny and that’s why I like it.
