You're....

trying to write a poem!

On Wednesday it was really fun as we looked at the poem 'You're' by Sylvia Plath, which is all about how the narrator feels towards someone; personally i think it is about the narrator's child. Anyways, we took this poem structure and tried to re-create the same layout and style for ourselves, although this time we talked about one of the characters from the Kite Runner. Very clever :)

I, however, am not, and am struggling to write my poem to the same standard of my dogs' poem, let alone Sylvia Plath. And most of the lines that Miss very kindly said were good, we're stolen from the book.

So far i've got...

You're

my Chinese doll, chiselled from hardwood,

flourishing at Midday,

my harelipped kite runner,

my troubled mulberry seed.....

Now, i realise how shocking this is, and Miss asked for around 14 lines for next lesson, so i'll have another stab at it!
