Cinquain Poetry

Junior and Senior Infants learn lots of rhymes and poems in school, but they also love to create their own! Below find some examples of cinquain poetry the boys created in class this year.

Monkey,

Furry, brown, cheeky, funny,

Taking people’s hats,

Happiest climbing trees.

Silly.

 

 

Pony,

Brown, small, fast, silky,

Cantering around the field,

Happiest when he is racing.

Beautiful.

 

 

Rabbits,

Small, grey, furry, fast,

Hopping in the long grass.

Happiest when free,

Cute as can be,

 

Lion,

Big, strong, brown, fast,

Hunting in the jungle,

Happiest when he is sleeping,

King.

 

 

Dog,

Golden, small, happy, busy,

Dashing around the field,

Happiest when we play together,

Loyal.

 

 

Reindeer,

Big, brown, strong, busy,

Flying high in the sky,

Happy to help Santa,

Magical.

 

 

Monkey,

Brown, big, loud, furry,

Swings in the branches,

Delighted when eating bananas,

Silly.

 

 

 

Horse,

Tall, slender, fast, happy,

Racing over fields,

Happiest when running around,

Graceful.

 

                                                       

Fish,

Yellow, big, slippery, sad,

Swims slowly in the fish tank,

Sad because he has no space,

Pet.

Our version of ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any cats?

Yes sir, yes sir, they’re lying on their mats.

One for the lady, and one for the man,

One for the little girl in the white van!

Our version of Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a bed,

Humpty Dumpty wanted to be fed,

All the King’s servants,

And all the King’s knights,

Were all too busy flying their kites!

Our poem about Sadness

Sadness tastes like cold beans,

Sadness looks like a dying flower,

Sadness smells like sour milk,

Sadness feels like being cold,

Sadness sounds like silence.

Acrostic poem about ‘Santa’

Santa brings us presents,

And his elves are very busy,

North Pole is his home,

The reindeer fly through the sky

And everyone is really happy!
