3) The
Broken-Legg’d Man by John Mackey Shaw
I saw the other day when I went shopping in the
store
A man I hadn't ever, ever seen in there before,
A man whose leg was broken and who leaned upon
a crutch-
I asked him very kindly if it hurt him very
much.
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd
man.
I ran around behind him for I thought that I
would see
The broken leg all bandaged up and bent back at
the knee;
But I didn't see the leg at all, there wasn't
any there,
So I asked him very kindly if he had it hid
somewhere.
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd
man.
"Then where," I asked him, "is
it? Did a tiger bite it off?
Or did you get your foot wet when you had a
nasty cough?
Did someone jump down on your leg when it was
very new?
Or did you simply cut it off because you wanted
to?"
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd
man.
"What was it then?" I asked him, and
this is what he said:
"I crossed a busy crossing when the
traffic light was red;
A big red car came whizzing by and knocked me
off my feet."
"Of course you looked both ways," I
said, "before you crossed the street."
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd
man.
"They rushed me to the hospital right
quickly," he went on,
"And when I woke in nice clean sheets I
saw my leg was gone;
That's why you see me walking now on nothing
but a crutch."
"I'm glad," said I, "you told
me, and I thank you very much!"
"Not at all!" said the broken-legg'd
man.
The Haiku poem is Beaches by Kaitlyn Guenther because Haiku Means an epigrammatic three lined Japanese verse.
ReplyDeleteThe narrative poem is the broken legg'd man by Jhon Mackey Shaw because narrative means an act,occurrence or a event presented in writing drama or cinemas.
The shape poem is the ghost poem because instead of the words straight in a line they are all wiggly and wobbly.

ReplyDeleteMom watched over me,
She helped me and took care of me,
I love her the most.
The poem Ghosts is a shape poem
ReplyDelete1 A shape poem has the words written in the illustration of the thing it is describing.Example if we are describing a volcano it would be shaped like a volcano.
I found alliteration in this poem
example ghosts,glide
I taught my cat to clean my room,
ReplyDeleteTo use a brush,to use a broom,
To dust my clock and picture frames
and pick up all my toys and games.
This is a form of narrative poetry.I like it because it is funny and nice.

In our poetry the shape and the description is about ghosts, which are very beautiful described with a lot of alliteration, pleasant rhythm and a lot of g 's.
1.The Broken-Legg’d Man is a narrative poem because it tells a story. There are 2 people and that there is a first person narrator. This poem is about a broken-legg’d man who told the narrator how he broke his leg.
ReplyDelete2.In this poem there is descriptive language [‘a big red car came whizzing by and knocked me off my feet.’]. I chose this sentence because it shows the car’s size, colour, noun, verb and what happened. There is also rhyme [store and before] and repetition [‘Not at all!’ and broken legg’d man.]
3.I have chosen Attacked by a BANANA!
Ghost glides across the golden grass gathering goblins and grabbing grasshoppers.
