Colour Poems

The boys have been working on colour poems over the past two weeks. 

They learned that there is two ways in which you can approach a colour poem.

 One of them is to pick a colour that comes to mind and use it at the beginning of each line of your poem. You do not need to pick your favourite colour, it could even be a colour that you don't like and have it represent things you don't like.

Here is an example:

Gold is the nice, smooth sand.

Gold is a sparkling antique.

Gold is a seashell washing up on the thick shore.

Gold is the happiest joy inside of people.

Gold is a gleaming locket around your neck.

Gold is a star shining in the moonlight.

Gold is a crown full of beautiful jewels.

Gold is the sun glimmering in the daylight.

Gold is a sun shiny, gorgeous day.


Another way you can write a colour poem is by using your senses to describe it. So, pick a colour again and use it at the beginning of each line in your poem but this time,describe it in terms of sight, taste, hearing,touch and smell.

Here is an example:

GREEN
Green looks like a swaying tree,


Green sounds like a croaking frog,


Green smells like freshly mown grass,


Green tastes like peppermint ice-cream,


Green feels like spring.

After looking at some examples, and coming up with some things that reminded them of a particular colour, they created their own colour poems.

Take a look below at some of the wonderful creations which they came up with.
