  1. The poet William Carlos William has inspired me to create a poem

    So much depends
    upon
    The sun light
    shining with glitter
    beside the baby
    boy

  2. We did not like The Red wheelbarrow because it was very, short, boring and unusual, because I don’t get the idea to write a about a wheelbarrow. That’s why we did not like it.
    This is our version

    So much depends
    upon,

    The green cheetah
    pouncing with fury,

    Beside the herd
    of elephants.

    BY Martin.v and martin.m

  3. So much depends
    upon
    an umbrella
    an umbrella
    that keeps you dry
    with cold wet water
    dripping down the sides
    next to the wind that blows

  4. I relly like the lesson about william carlos william i like how he talks about the red wheel barrow how he descibes about the red wheel barrow and starts with so much depends and the sillible pattern.

  5. I like William Carlos Williams but my favourite poem is The Tyger by William blake I know the first verse by heart:
    Tyger Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night
    In the forests of the night,
    What immortal hand or eye
    Could frame such fearful symmetry

  6. so much depends
    upon
    an xbox 360
    with a shining black glaze
    in the house of a girl
    with cats like flying a dragons
    beside
    shivied black rabbits

  7. They paid a penny for the dance
    But what they saw was a depressed bear
    Missing the green forest
    And being treated badly

  8. They paid a penny for the dance
    But what they saw was not a prance
    But what they saw was a pain
    He wanted to be out again in the rain

  9. The poem makes me feel angry and cold because it makes me think of the hundreds of people that died for our freedom and our lives.

  10. IN FLANDERS FIELD
    BY: John McCrae

    Flanders field makes me feel emotional because all of those people who fought for all of us and for there loved ones makes me feel very happy. Flanders field is very amazing because when some people got wounded they died and people berried them and the poppies started to grow.

  11. from your failing voice we heard you cry
    as we watched the larks flying by
    we have taken up your quarrel with foe
    caught the torch you throw
    we wear the poppies with pride
    remembering the ones that died
    at eleven 0 clock on a day of november
    we take a minute of silence
    and we can hear you voice
    from flanders field

  12. what they saw was the bears pain bleeding out of it’s torn foot. crying for mercy

    this is what i wrote for the poem called my mother saw a dancing bear

  13. Flanders soldiers

    We are the living,
    On your fallen bodies we stand up high,
    In Flanders Fields we shall all try.
    We see the poppies blow and blow,
    More seas of blood start to flow.

    Guns are heard amid the air,
    And in the distance a solar flair!
    We heard your cry now we must go,
    To die we shall not know?
    For of we go to Flanders Fields.

    Will we save our friends or foes?
    If we go to the place where ye poppies blow.

  14. We liked the poem my mother saw a dancing bear due to the fact that its very crazy and farfetched. Also because it used great description of the ache in bruins heart(the dancing bear). One thing I don’t like about the poem is that they are treating an animal badly and we like animals.

  15. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

    it is good not even a little bit bad
    We are the Dead. Short days ago We live

  16. Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!
    Dreams by Edgar Allan Poe

    My spirit not awakening, till the beam
    Of an eternity should bring the morrow.
    Yes! tho’ that long dream were of hopeless sorrow,
    Twere better than the cold reality
    Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,
    And hath been still, upon the lovely earth,
    A chaos of deep passion, from his birth.

    I like this poem because it makes a picture of someone whose died, their spirit is trying to come back but they can’t. I think it’s a sad spirit trying to wake up.

  17. I like this poem because it is hard to say it and I like trying to say it also it is very emotional

  18. my poem that i thougt of Tiger Tiger
    Tiger Tiger
    Where are you
    Are you hiding in the forest
    Are you looking for food

    I love Tigers 🙂

  19. Life is like a railway train,
    Turnin and twistin,
    People passing by,
    The whistle screeching loudly in my ear,
    The journey waiting ahead of us,
    Clanking, crashing and Pacing,
    It choo-choos along,
    The sound of people rushing and roaming,
    The train long and wide,
    Wheels turing and turning,
    People waiting with fear and despair,
    Not knowing whats going to happen in their clueless journey,
    Turning corners,
    Where the sun will not shine,
    Bumbin and twistin,
    Climbing on aboard,
    Its never traineasy in life,
    Thats why i always say life is like a railway
    train.

  20. Chocolate

    I see it on the phone
    While I was just alone.
    But now what do I see
    The bright blew see?
    But now I notice
    It was just numbers.
    But how can I be sure
    Without checking what’s
    behind the door.

  21. Halloween

    It’s creeping closer every day
    Without any notice.
    It brings his pumpkin fellows
    Without a moment to wait.
    And then the children come
    To take the candy.
    But if the person refuses
    There in for a nasty surprise!

  22. Can we get anything with money?

    Glamorous money
    Why do we love it?
    Obviously we know.
    We could get anything we want.
    Can’t we?
    Unfortunately we can’t get one thing
    And that is a friend.

  23. White chickens saw a dancing bear
    in the summer heat
    They watched it march. They watched it halt
    ‘Now,roly- ploy!Somersault!’said the boy

    I wrote this poem because I wanted to amuse the reader.

  24. My black out poem:

    My mother saw a dancing bear by the schoolyard
    With chain and bar
    In the summer heat
    They watched
    The keeper with a begging cup they paid a penny

  25. Flaming tree

    A tree a tree a tree
    Burnt in peaces grew
    To flame all lava and
    Fire mixes to be a mighty
    Tree long tall short small
    It doesn’t matter at all
    Whatever you do
    It never burns and
    Never cools never ever
    Breaks this tree isn’t a
    Tree this is a living tree.

  26. My favourite poem is “To have my bestest friend again” because, it is about someone who lost their dog and found him again. My favourite animal are dogs and reading a poem of them puts me in a really good mood.

  27. The poet William Carlos William has inspired me to create a poem

    So much depends
    upon
    The sun light
    shining with glitter
    beside the baby
    boy

  28. So much depends
    upon
    an umbrella
    an umbrella
    that keeps you dry
    with cold wet water
    dripping down the sides
    next to the wind that blows

  29. i like the poem tyger tyger by william blake because it has a lot o power to it and it has loads of oldish words in it. it was written by a guy in old times so i guess thats alright.

  30. I enjoyed reading the different poems because they were interesting topics. I find poems to be very descriptive especially the video poem on London. I loved the way the poet explained the different things like the buildings and the sewers.

  31. My name is Zarrin and I am in year6, I go to Gillespie school.I would like to comment on the poem The teacher. personally I thought that there was a moral in that story telling you that you should follow your dream. In this poem the teacher talks about the things he saw on the map and that he dreamt of going to such a place but on the way he died but I think that it still counts. I thought that the student then learnt from that and then he followed his own dreams.

  32. My favourite poem is Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, because nearly everything is made up. People probably know it from the book ‘Alice in wonderland’.

  33. the trouble with pets
    is that they always die
    no matter how hard
    you plead and try

    one day my mum got so tied up

    that she took my poor pup
    and she turned him to stone
    and no one could moan

    over the years he gained much might
    sometimes we argued sometimes we fight
    but then i managed to see the light
    over the poor pups heaven flight

    1. Hi Sarah,

      This is an interesting attempt at your own take on Patten’s poem. I think it works as animals lifes are shorter and temporary.

      Thank you for sharing your writing with us.

  34. I like poems about flowers and nature because I find poems easy to write when I am in the environment of what I am writing about

  35. i like the poem jabberwocky because you want to know what the words mean so it is very interesting
