Cinquain

Here's a poem my fun-loving grade threes wrote in class for me about my whiteboard eraser. This was about 10 minutes after they'd just been introduced to the idea of poetry, and about 2 min after learning about cinquains.

eraser
red, rectangle
cleaning, hiding, disturbing
the teacher always loses it
marker's rival

I swear, these kids are so smart...they are light years ahead of many of the native English speakers I taught back home.

PS When I asked why "disturbing," they said it was because we spend so much time looking for it...erm, yes...organized teacher that I am...
