Bell-Ringer:  In your composition book respond to the painting.  Write a brief story or poem.

Tiger in a Tropical Storm by Henri Rousseau


More Love That Dog and writing "inspired by" poetry.
You should have in your composition book:
a poem imitating (inspired by)
  1. The Red Wheelbarrow
  2. Stopping By Woods (1 Stanza)
  3. The Tiger (2 or more lines) 
  4. Read both The Tiger and The Lamb
  5. Love That Boy  -- See below.
  6. and at least the sounds for a poem like Street Music.
Love That Boy by Walter Dean Meyers

Love that boy,
like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
"Hey there, son!"

He walk like his Grandpa,
Grins like his Uncle Ben.
I said he walk like his Grandpa,
And grins like his Uncle Ben.
Grins when he’s happy,
When he sad, he grins again.

His mama like to hold him,
Like to feed him cherry pie.
I said his mama like to hold him.
Like to feed him that cherry pie.
She can have him now,
I’ll get him by and by

He got long roads to walk down
Before the setting sun.
I said he got a long, long road to walk down
Before the setting sun.
He’ll be a long stride walker,
And a good man before he done.
