What is Poetry?
Poetry is a river, poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the the river waves. None is timeless; each arrives in an historical context, almost everything, in the end, passes.
-Mary Oliver (A Poetry Handbook)
What is Poetry? My Definition!
Poetry is a song or rhyme that expresses feelings to the subject.

Acrostic
The word acrostic is formed from the Greek word acros (outermost) and stichos (line of poetry). The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read them looking downward.

Panthers growl,Orioles sing, Eagles soar, Monkeys swing. See?
My Acrostic #1
Speeding down the court
Passing to players all around
Others shouting for the ball
Running all around
Throwing balls in the hoop
My Acrostic #2
Ruff rugby tackles
Ugly bone smashing injurys
Goal kicking
Balls flying through the sky
You need some glasses ref!
Haiku
n COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEMn The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct
discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.
- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables
When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .
n Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.

My Free Verse #1
RUGBY
Wet rugby balls slip through your hands
Muddy balls slapping my hands when i catch it
The sound of the Haka echoing around the stadium
The ear piercing sound of the Reffs whistle
The rage of an angry crowd shouting at the Reff
The grunt of the packs smashing together in the scrum
The roar of the crowd as you dive over for a try
The cheer of your team mates as you score the winning drop goal in the last second
The feel of the world cup in your hands and now you now you have lived your dream
My Free Verse #2
BASKET BALL
Running down the court
The warm feeling of shooting a basket
The cheer of the crowd when you get a free throw
Seeing the score board and seeing that your teams winning
the crowd chering when you get the intercept

Rapunzel’s Rap
Rapunzel was a girl with hair of goldTrapped in a tower in days of old
She wasn’t allowed outside to playAnd her golden hair grew longer each dayGrew longer and longer and longer each day.
The witch who locked her up was meanWith a pointed nose and a face of greenMean mean meaner than the queen of mean.
- Sonja Dunn
