    Mr.Buxton to be honest with you I think with all the noise in the class we did deserve a little punishment but this is a HUGE punishment.

    this is my poem




    A Decision
    Name: Camille Blanc Date: February 7, 2012
    If a road
    Suddenly
    Separates into two
    What to do?
    Which one to choose?
    Do I take the shortest one or the longer one?
    The bumpy road or the flat road
    Does it make a difference?
    If I walk a road will I regret it?
    But
    I may as well walk one
    Then see what happens

    WILF:
    Clearly a " I wonder" poem
    Uses strong language
    Develops a single theme/idea
    Between 12-30lines
    Effectively uses white space and line breaks

    Please comment



    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    Would our clothes be stuck to us,
    And how will we take the bus?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    Is walking all we can do?
    No trains and cars too?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    How would we swallow?
    Would our skull be hollow?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?
    How would we sleep on our bed?
    Do we lay on a floor like the dead?

    If the world was 2D,
    What would man be?

    Yeah Nakul thanks for coming. It meant a lot to us that you were bothered to come for two hours. I think your great cheering was one of the things that kept our hopes up after we lost 2 games in a row.


    It really means a lot.
