Dear Diary,
We learned to write stories and poems this week. We read many different kinds of poems. We also learned about fables and fairy tales.
I like reading stories, but they are very hard to write. I think a good story must have great characters and an interesting plot. Jenny thinks stories are easier to write than poems, but I don't think so.
At the beginning, I was afraid to try writing a poem. I tried to write one about my favourite place beside a lake. But it was too hard to write that poem! Then my teacher encouraged me to write a humorous poem because I am always saying funny things. So I wrote a funny poem about a donut. Later I decided to write a poem about a cat! Here it is.
Cat
I once saw a very small cat,
It was wearing a big yellow hat.
I jumped really high, and then I said quietly,
Don't you think you look funny in that?
