Once Poem

Today our criteria was to write a poem in a specific genre and do it from a character's perspective of the book we were reading for our novel study. I did it from Felix perspective when he had just found Zelda the previous night and had taken cover in the hay stack, but in the morning a party of Jews were on the road. I hope that you enjoy reading it and tell me if there is anything I can improve for next time.


The haystack was hard enough it had,
Sharp hay stabbing,  a thick hedge and damp fields surrounding it,
An unlucky crowd was staggering past, nasty natzies were rushing them and a small notebook was luring unwanted attention,
A worried boy was thinking, a tough natzie was aiming and a scared little girl was sitting still,
Scared, frightened terrified,

Doing everything important.

  4. Kia Ora Sophie,
    It seems like the book you were reading for novel study was great. Your poem was amazing and it was sort of in a way soothing. I think that next time you should maybe proof read.

    I really liked your poem how you described the scenario but one thing to work on would be to describe the setting a bit more.

    I really liked your poem, It shows that you really understand the story and I especially liked the part about how a small notebook was luring unwanted attention,it showed that the notebook had some importance. What is the book? I would really like to read it.

  11. Hi Sophie,
    I love your poem because it gives me a big idea of what your novel study book is about. I also love your use of description in your blog post.

    This poem reminds me of a book I read, called 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' because in that book, it mentions Natzis and Jews just like it does in your poem.

    Maybe next time you could check your blog post before you post it, and check if the punctuation is right.

    Thanks,

  12. Hi sophie
    I like your poem because it shows that you really understand the story. It is a good story to read at home at school or anywhere. I like it because it is really long and smart.

    Hi Sophie,
    I love your poem because it gives me a big idea of what your novel study book is about. I also love your use of description in your blog post. My Favourite sentence in your poem is ‘An unlucky crowd was staggering past’. What is the name of the book you are reading?

    This poem reminds me of a book I read, called 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' because in that book, it mentions Natzis and Jews just like it does in your poem. Have you read ‘The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas’ Before?

    Maybe next time you could check your blog post before you post it, and check if the punctuation is right.
