Octopoems or Haiku Poems

Week beginning 20th October and ending 21st November.

Octopoems describe a person or topic through this eight line formula. Diversity of thought is guaranteed.

1st line: Topic is a colour

2nd line: A season

3rd line: A place

4th line: A type of weather

5th line: A type of clothing

6th line: A piece of furniture.

7th line: A TV Show.

8th line: A type of food.

 

Here's an example:

A Chef is white
He is the spring time
In the kitchen
He is sunny
A chef in an apron
A kitchen stool
He is a T.V. advert
A crispy roast chicken

 

I'm sure you could integrate this unusual poem into your topic for the term. It could also be integrated into a Christmas theme.
This is the final poetry project for 2004. We look forward to many schools participating in this final format.
