Mad Pad

I'm not posting about talent development today. Insted I am posting about poetry. We did a workshop on the Ipads. We did lots of apps that I had never seen before: like Mad Pad and others. We published our poetry on an app called Pic Collage. These are my poems:

Talofa,
You know how I keep posting about art, well today I'm still posting about art but for a treat I will post some of my poetry I have been doing over the last 2 weeks. We had done everything that Darryn wanted us to do. So guess what we did we when to the art gallery and Darryn said to learn art you have to see art so that is what we did. Next, we got back and we started a lino print. I'm doing two flowers.

Okay, Okay, that's enough of art! Onto poetry. We did free verse and haiku. Haiku is a poem of 3 lines with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables.
This is mine about chess:     
Chess
Pin forks and skewers
Scholars, en pesant moves
Stale-mate or checkmate.


This is my free verse:

A dull wet day hangs over the world.
Rushing and bustling, not caring to say to say hello.
Grey clouds drifting through the sky.
Droplets fall from the sky, hit the cold hard ground.
A pattering on the roof
And me curled up in bed.
