Primary Five Poetry

Before the holidays Primary Five went to the Scottish Poetry Library to find out more about different poems and meet real life poets!

After this in class we started looking at poems by Grace Nichols, learning about different structures of poems, metaphors and similes.

We looked at the poem Morning then created our own about bedtime.

Bedtime comes with bampots screaming

Bedtime comes with buzzers buzzing

Bedtime comes with sinks gurgling

Bedtime comes with car radios playing

Bedtime comes with Mum’s Netflix playing

Bedtime comes with my phone mumbling

Bedtime comes with the upstairs furniture moving

Bedtime comes with car alarms ringing

Bedtime comes to put on the diffuser and tuck me in

By Eliska

Bedtime comes with the moon glowing

Bedtime comes with the door creaking

Bedtime comes with the bed wobbling

Bedtime comes with the light flickering

Bedtime comes with the wind blowing

By Diton

Bedtime comes with TVs speaking

Bedtime comes with buzzers beeping

Bedtime comes with my Mum talking

Bedtime comes with my Dad snoring

Bedtime comes with fridges gurgling

Bedtime comes with car radios singing

Bedtime comes with light switches clicking

Bedtime comes with bampots screaming

Bedtime comes with books rustling

Bedtime comes to drag me to bed- spoil sport bedtime.
