“Woolly or plastic?” Gun Roswell

Blue Mammoth

A blue plastic mammoth found
Owner may collect at my house from
’til Sunday, must be blue

Blue with fluffy

“Floating on fluff” Gun Roswell

Blue with fluffy

Skies in blue with fluffy
Clouds so soft you want to run
Your fingers gently through them

Blue on blue (Seat Sunday)

“Always the feeling of blue, present” Gun Roswell

Blue on blue

Blue, the colour of air
Blue, painted on to the lonely chair
Blue, waves hitting the shores

Sunshine

“A warm day with sunshine” Gun Roswell

Sunshine

Sun, warm on my skin
Left the coat inside, going for a
Ride, on this cool day

Black Berries

“Fall has descended” Gun Roswell

Black Berries

Buried berries in the bush
Pitch black against the colours of lush
Do not eat, they’re poisonous

Green with envy (Seat Sunday)

“Green is the colour of nature” Gun Roswell

Green with envy

Opposite sits the other, green
Envy, hate, anger, never saying one word
Flowers in pots, soothing atmosphere

With a hop and skip
Over the puddles I step
My damn shoe got wet

Dark Liquid

Still water on ground
Dark cloud let it fall down
Light nowhere found

Day One: Water

* Photography means “drawing with light.” When you take a picture with your camera, you use and record light to create an image. When we’re out and about, we often use the sun — our most abundant light source — to capture our scenes.
* For today’s poem, experiment with haiku — a short poetic form that works particularly well with nature-themed poetry.
o The haiku is a Japanese verse in three lines. Line one has 5 syllables, line 2 has 7 syllables and line three has 5 syllables. Haiku is a mood poem and it doesn’t use any metaphors or similes. Usually when Haiku is taught the students are only given the restriction of the number of lines and syllables.
