Poetry
Corrupt animal farm. Napoleon is causing the animals much harm. Four legs good two legs better. Most of the animals can not write an alphabet letter. The animals attacked the humans in an animal swarm. By, Liam (It is a Limerick) There is an essence in the barn A feeling of weakness within The wife knits the yarn The sheep, not cared for Animal Farm By, Nick (It's a Limerick) The animals hate the nasty humans and their ways, Oh how they hate them, And when the horses are overworked they say "Nay!", They are planning something great, And the sheep say, "Oh, yay!" By, Kenny (It's a Sonnet) Odd Animal Farm. Run by pigs as Dictator. How could this be so? By, Devin (It's a Haiku) |
