"splish-splash", goes everything but the groceries.

since it's a rainy day today, i thought it'd be apt to post a lit journal i did in sec one with a poem very predictably titled, "Rainy Day". stuff in red are additions by the sec one lit teacher, mr connolly.

so here goes:

16/2/2003

Rainy day

Raindrops go "pitter-patter" on the rooftops
Puddles "splish-splash" under my shoes
My teeth "clackering" in the cold
As i made my way through the "whooshing" wind

The sun had disappeared with a "poof"
"Growl" the clouds rumble as they cover the sky
"Click-clack" goes the housewife's high-heeled shoes
Their dresses "swishing" as they rush out to keep the wash

In the field, frogs "croak" madly with joy
On the road, cars "honk" impatiently
"Slam" goes the door when i reach home
"Tsk! Tsk!" my mother cried, for i had gotten wet,
Playing on this rainy day.

Good, vivid description!

Journal entry:
This week's Literature lessons were pretty interesting. We learnt about a type of poem called onomatopoeia. Before we start on that, i shall talk about the lesson when Mr Connolly only came in during the last 15 minutes. For those who had Speech and Drama before Literature, they had one hour and forty-five minutes of "free time". Boy, were they happy.
I wasn't!

Okay, back to onomatopoeia. We learnt that onomatopoeia poems included sound words like "bang", "boom", "thud" and so on. At the end of the lesson we were told to write a onomatopoeia poem. That's why you can see a poem at the front of the journal entry.

Well, i guess i shall end here today. I'm looking forward to our next Literature lesson!
So am i!

:D
