For reading today, I read a poem called "A Good Play" by Robert Louis Stevenson. My assignment was to write a fourth stanza to it. Here is the poem. The last TWO stanzas I wrote:
A Good Play
We built a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs,
And filled it full of sofa pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.
We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails;
And Tom said, "Let us all take
An apple and a slice of cake";
Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on, till tea.
We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;
But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,
So there was no one left but me.
I'm eating all of the cake,
then I'll get a steak,
My ship is broken,
I am changing my name to Logan,
My ship is in a wreck,
I'm going to strangle my neck.
I'm on an island,
I'm setting a tent on a highland,
I am catching fish,
I hope I get rich.
Great job Logan! :)
ReplyDeleteHi there Logan! I really like the twists and turns you worked into the end of this poem. Keep up the great work!

Really like your poem, I could tell when you took over for Robert Lewis Stevenson. You write very different, but you are from different times. Great job. I hope you keep writing!
