  1. I really enjoyed participating in the Poetry Cafe! I wrote a list poem and a biography poem. My list poem is called Purse. Some lines of that poem are...
    Sparkly lip gloss.
    Random paper clip.
    Blue ballpoint pen.
    Rose gold iPhone with white case.
    My biography poem is called I am Ms. Papadakes. Some lines from my poem are...
    I say "Good morning, children!" every day.
    I cry when I think about how weak my dad is.
    I wonder when I will leave the country again.
    I feel my soft blanket every night.

    My favorite poem of all time is Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost!

  6. I loved poetry café. I did list as my first poem. I think it went like this
    My school box
    stubby crayons
    dried out markers
    blue blueberry
    purple checking pen
    crazy calculator
    tangled headset
    zip lock baggie
    mechanical pencils
    That was my appetizer. I did dice as my main cores. That was my favorite poem that I did. It goes like this
    Dice, dice roll the dice.
    Dice are good as dice can be.
    Roll them once. Roll them twice...
    Dice, dice just like ice!
    The ending was a little weird but it was ok. And my dessert was blackout. That one is fun. It goes like this
    Young Izzie
    said
    "I think laws are unexpected."
    I think I need to finish that one.
    I hope you like them

  8. My appetizer was a Paint Chip Poem. I used Early Blossom and Green Stalk. My main course was a Mask Poem. It went like this:
    I am an umbrella,
    Yellow as the sun,
    Plastic and metal,
    Hook like a cane,
    Protecting you from the rain
    Trying not to blow away,
    I am an umbrella.
    And for dessert I started a diamond poem but I really didn't start and I'm going to finish in class.
    I loved Poetry Café!

  18. I really liked the library lesson. I loved the theme of a cafe! I did two poems and tried to finish a third. My first was the object I chose to do one about quarters. The second one I did was roll the dice. And for the dessert I tried to do the diamond but sadly I could not finish. But overall the poetry cafe was a BLAST!!!

  19. I loved Poetry Cafe. It was so much fun. I thought that the idea was very clever! I hope we can do it again! My appetizer was the list poem. My main was the mask poem I was a lamp. My desert was the character thing. I did Georgina Hayes from How to Steal a Dog! Bennett and I even started the extra activity. We got a laptop and recorded us on photo both saying a two person poem it was very fun and funny. I was a little girl and Bennett was Sally Ann Thunder!
