Ryhme Sceme & Rythmic Foot

We have been talking about rhyme scheme and rhythmic foot in Language Arts and it has been so much fun! Spencer has a real gift for poetry. He can read and write it better than I can. Here are some of the poems we have come up with this week.

Cats
Rhyme Scheme: abab
Rhythmic Foot: trochaic

Cats are furry.
They're in a hurry.
They like to play.
All night and day.

The Music of Rhythmic Feet
Rhyme Scheme: aabb
Rhythmic Foot: dactylic

Like the beating of a drum,
Write dum-de-de, dum-de-de dum!
Like the strums of a gutiar
Write dar-de-de, dar-de-de, dar!

Passing Seasons
Rhyme Scheme: aabbcc
Rhythmic Foot: anapestic

Seasons come, seasons go.
Some are fast, some are slow.
Some are cold, some are hot.
Some are fun, some are not.
In the end all are good,
Ending just the way the should.
