Today I have done another activity called a Clerihew poem. This poem was invented by Edward Clerihew Bentley, it is a short biographical poem about famous person or a characters from books. In a clerihew there are 4 lines, and in those 4 lines the first two and the other 2 lines needs to end with something that rhymes. For my character I chose Belle because I thought I could write a good clerihew out of that princess. I enjoyed doing this activity because I learned how to write a clerihew and what kind of poem it was.

What a great poem you have written! You use a lot of adjectives and adverbs which is fantastic for imagining the scene. You also have a very strong, clear voice. Your reading of the poem was fantastic!
Is this the first time you have heard of Clerihew poems? It certainly is for me! They are quite fun though, aren’t they?
Keep up the awesome mahi and have a fantastic raumati!
Ngā mihi nui,
