Fifth Poem - Senryu



The challenge to write 8 poems in 8 days continues. See the Two Writing Teachers blog for more details! Here are my Senryu attempts. This was a new one for me. I had never heard of them.





Standardized testing
Colored bubbles on a page
Change lives forever







And one more!

A moment in life
Flowing across the blue lines
Telling a story

Amy, do you know Tom Chapin's song about the TEST? It's on my blog.

I really like these, Amy! That first one brought back so many memories of standardized tests past!

I hope that standardized testing does not change lives forever. But I know it can. (sigh)
