This month, Robin challenged us with the cinquain form of poetry. She asked us to write within the theme of “celebration.” It’s so easy and fun to write this form, Darla didn’t hesitate to write three poems for her guest post this week.
****FIFTH GRADE GUEST BLOGGER****
CHRISTMAS
Bright, sparkly
Caroling, decorating, partying
Full of happiness
Joy
SANTA
Red, fat
Eating, flying, giving
Jolly old elf
St. Nicholas
PITA
Mean beautiful calico
Hissing, purring, meowing
Very pretty kitty
Baby
The last poem she wrote in secret and gave as a gift to me — even with a bow. What a schmoozer. I think I should give her a raise;)
KELLY
Pretty, smart
Smiling, laughing, whistling
Loves her family
Mom
After the day I’d had, I was thinking more along the lines of:
MOM
Grumpy, frazzled
Scowling, scurrying, screaming
Needs a nap
Medusa
I guess our kids forgive us our trespasses. Selective memory may prove useful:)

OH, my, Kelly, yours cracked me up after D’s precious ones! How sweet is she to gift this to you? I think she has a poet’s soul, so please tell her THANK YOU for joining in this month’s poetry challenge–it sounds like for her, it was a piece of cake!

D puts some of us adults to shame! wow.
But, your quick response was very clever, too.

Wow – she did great! Better than me!
I love the kitty one AND the Santa one. She has poetic genius in her!

Apparently, I am NOT smarter than a fifth grader. ;-/
Well done!

Hugs,

A typical cat it sounds like…what other animal results in the words mean, beautiful, hissing, and baby all in the same poem?! LOL
