I had Sparkle enter the Renaissance Festival Poetry contest again this year.
We are doing poetry for school and I adapted one of her textbook assignments to make a poem for the contest.
Here is her poem. The irregular capitalization is her own.
*************************
The Sad Day
The Princess is weeping in her room.
The Prince is fighting in the gloom.
The Queen is talking to her groom.
The King is Dying in his tomb.
The village cries, "Boo hoo, boo hoo.
We don't want it to be true."
The Queen is feeling very blue.
The Prince does not know what to do.

I am very grateful for our poetry textbook which gave Sparkle the vocabulary that I needed to coach her with this poem. She still needs work on writing things that make sense, but she's getting there.

That one is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It took a lot of coaching, but I'm satisified with it. Her first attempts were filled with a bunch of disjointed rhymes that weren't even real words.
