Year 7 Awesome Poetry Homework

Greetings, Year 7!
I have written two poems ESPECIALLY FOR YOU.

Your task is to a) read the poems and b) add a comment in which you answer the questions underneath the poems. Don't forget to write your first name!

Poem 1

The Ethereal Adventures of Dr Lamb

Dr Lamb
Stole some jam
And flew to the moon one June in a pram.

She made friends with a ghoul
In a solar pool
And they both got back in time for school.

Poem 2

January journey

Dead leaves at daybreak
Stiff-limbed like cracking statues
Cold glare of winter.

Questions

1) List at least three different things you notice about each poem
2) Find something you like about each one
3) Which is better and why?
4) Are these 'good' poems? Why/why not?
5) What kind of poetry do YOU like?
Optional extension: write your own poem for me!

Write your answers in the comment box! Don't forget, put only your first name so I know who you are!
