We have been making poems inspired by James K Baxter. We used the same layout as his "This Town" poem. We had to choose a location that's special to us and 5 things that it has. Then you write My____ and I did what____ do. You fill in the blanks with things that you and a group of people do. Here's an example, My family and I did what Families do. Then you write 5 things that you and them do. Then you end the poem with "Doing nothing important". Here is my poem.
The town was usual enough, it had
schools, dairies, a rugby field, a beach, and even a bike track.
My friends and I did what friends do-
Played video games on sunny days, bought lollies, drank fizzy's, biked places like a mob, and stayed up all night watching movies.
Doing nothing important
