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
