LC: To recognise different forms of poetry
What is Poetry?
Poetry is a type of writing where people use words in interesting ways. Unlike regular stories or books, poetry often sounds musical. Poets choose their words carefully to help us feel emotions and imagine beautiful scenes.
Examples of Poetry
-
Rhyming Poems: These poems have lines that end with the same sound. For example:
- "The cat sat on the mat,With a nice little hat."
-
Free Verse: This type of poetry doesn't have to rhyme. It focuses more on expressing thoughts and feelings. For example:
- "The sun is shining bright,Like a big, warm hug from the sky."

Now lets take a look at Haiku poems.
Click on the picture below to watch the clip
A haiku is a very short poem that has some very specific rules.
- It is three lines long.
- The first and last lines have five syllables.
- The middle line has seven syllables.
Let's count the syllables together
Bright sun in the sky,
Children splash in the cool waves,
Ice cream drips, warm day.
Now it's your turn to count the syllables in the following poems and decide if they are Haiku poems and why.
Count the syllables in each poem.
Sledging
Numb hands, frozen feet ____ Syllables
Shivery trudge to the top, ____ Syllables
Giggling, sliding down! ____ Syllables
Cosy
Icy breath, red nose, ____ Syllables
Snow falling with freezing winds, ____ Syllables
Crumpets by the fire. ____ Syllables
Are both poems' Haiku poems? Explain your answer.
