Haiku
select five poems
that you'd share with your classmates
publish on your blogs
Original Draft - Limerick
There once was a class to learn writing
That everyone found so exciting
They put poems on blogs
And rewrote them like dogs
Until they became more inviting
Rewritten Draft - Limerick
These poems should be from portfolios
Produced from your blood, sweat, and cardio
As exercise
You'll have to revise
And make them your best, yes indeedio
Free Verse
Each poem you choose must be on the blog twice
The original draft and then a rewrite
The difference between draft one and draft two
Will be up to the poet, who's none other than you.
This means all the poems you publish will go
on the blog from your writing portfolio
The points you receive will be left up to me
The maximum score you receive can be three
One point will show that it's up there at all
Two points or three will depend completely on how
Much you experiment with revising your draft
and showing your poetic talent and craft.

Your poems. Don't just type them and think you're done

Mr. Cheng- I really liked your second poem because I could tell it was a limerick. I thought it was clever the way you rhymed portfolio, cardio, and indeedio.

Mr.Cheng, You are truly a creative creative writing teacher! ^^ Rules to Poem, and it gives the students a sense that they should not underestimate your teachings. (:
Your apt in making up words and stretching what rhymes and what doesn't constantly surprises in a most delightful way.
