Week 5 relfection

For writing this week we did a poem based off Rodger McGoughs poem The Midnight Skaters. Here is a link to the poem we based it on The midnight skaters. For this poem we focused on the use of personification which is giving an object a human quality. This is what I came up with...

The moon was shining bright

It was starting to get late

The wind was whistling quietly

There was no sound, But wait

A break of silence occurred

They all came out in a heap

The toaster popped,nothing stopped

While every person lays sound asleep

Then suddenly some cutting knives

Started jumping up to fight

As forks watched the action

The spoons flickered the light

Spatulas swam in the sink

While plates piled one by one

Oh what fun they were having

But wait, they’re on the run

The forks jumped in

Ready to be washed

The plates were like Frisbee

In the cupboard they squashed

They hear footsteps of children running down the stairs

It alerted them of the presents of people everywhere

As parents laugh and talk it couldn't help to wonder

Why the spatulas lie and wait with a little tear
