So let’s begin…<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and we begin in a pool of tears….<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

In this poem below….<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

With your own poem explain how doth the little crocodile go?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"Photobucket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How doth the little crocodile<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Improve his shining tail,<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And pour the waters of the Nile<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

On every golden scale!<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

‘How cheerfully he seems to grin,<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

How neatly spread his claws,<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And welcome little fishes in<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

With gently smiling jaws!’<\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Write a poem based on the Pics below and the theme that accompanies them:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

“An Invitation From The Queen” “Why are you painting the roses red?” “Who are you really?”

“Two Days Wrong!” “Leave you with a smile!” “I mean What I say!” <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Pick a 4 line Stanza from the Lewis Carroll Poem below and begin your own poem with it. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Try to expand on the message within the stanza you picked.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

#1)<\/strong> <\/font>‘They told me you had been to her,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And mentioned me to him:<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

She gave me a good character,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

But said I could not swim.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

#2)<\/font> He sent them word I had not gone<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

(We know it to be true):<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

If she should push the matter on,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

What would become of you?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

#3)<\/font> I gave her one, they gave him two,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

You gave us three or more;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

They all returned from him to you,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Though they were mine before.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

#4)<\/font> If I or she should chance to be<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Involved in this affair,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

He trusts to you to set them free,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Exactly as we were.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

#6)<\/font> My notion was that you had been<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

(Before she had this fit)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

An obstacle that came between<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Him, and ourselves, and it.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

#7)<\/font> Don’t let him know she liked them best,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

For this must ever be<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

A secret, kept from all the rest,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Between yourself and me.’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
