Blackout Poetry

We wrote some poems in our class. 
We each had the same page of text, a newspaper article about plastic pollution. We circled the words from the text that we wanted to be in our poem, then blacked out all the other words. We were left with fabulous poems. Come to our class and read the poems in our library corner.


Plastic floating around
The world
Crashing in like waves


Too much plastic
Mountains
To drive the bin


Sharing less plastic bags
In lives


More plastic is made
Now call on plastic
New Zealand

By Miranda


Plastic is like
horrifying  mountains  toppling

The humans have made plastic to choke on
People like a tidal wave

There have been mutterings about too much plastic
It’s mainly to ban single-use plastic bags has occupied the media.

By Olivia


Stuff floating around
mountains toppling into the sea 
Managing lives
Elements and variations in the east

More into the sea
Fish drinking
Tiny society adjustment
