My Mum's Hands

This week's writing task was a free-verse poem about "my Mum´s Hands".  We 

practised using semi-colons, a range of sentence lengths and using better Vocabulary. Our poems are based on an original poem written by Gary O'Connell. I chose to write about my Mum because she is someone special to me.


 My Mum's Hands

are soft baby hands;

her back, Steady wall;

her legs, Fast twigs.

Her laugh is soft and pale;

her breath, dust like the wind.

Slepping

quietly and steady in my arms,

my mum

is the kindest person in the world.

  2. Hi Hone, I'm Tiare and I am from belfast school.
    I really enjoyed reading your poem about your
    mum's hands, it was very interesting and you
    added a lot of detail which I like.
    Maybe next time you could add what Gary O'connell's
    poem on the side of your poem, if you can.
    Did you enjoy writing this poem?
    I hope you have a good day! Bye!

  3. Hi Hone, Trinity here from Belfast School,
    I like this poem. I like how you described her. It was very interesting to read and I enjoyed it. My favorite line is 'her laugh is soft and pale' because I like how you explain what her laugh is like. Maybe next time you could add in Gary O'Connell's poem. How long did this take to make? Do you enjoy writing poems? Have a good day.

  4. Kia Ora Hony,
    I like this post because it is very detailed easy to read and understand.
    Maybe next time you could add in a poem on the side of the person that first created this poem.
    This reminded me of when I had to do a poem about my parents at another school.

    Kind Regards Ritchie (:
