Our Mouse
Tale was Be My Valentine by M.J. Carr.
This story
was about a mouse named Isadore who is trying to write a
Valentine poem for his friend Athena but he just can't seem to
get it right.
We decided
to help old Izzy out and write some quatrain Valentine poems.
After writing the poems we used KidPix4 to publish them.
|
What is a quatrain poem?
A
poem with four lines.
Lines 2 and 4 must rhyme.
Lines 1 and 3 may or may not rhyme.
Rhyming lines should have about the same number of
syllables. |
