Dragon Cinquains

We have been writing cinquain poems about dragons. First we had to think about the characteristics of a dragon. Then we had to think of some other words for the dragon. Next we had to think of some adjectives to describe the animal, and some verbs connected with the animal. Finally we had to write a short phrase (a group of words) to do with the animal.

Then we used the format of a cinquain poem.  Here are some of our poems.

The Mystery Has Just Begun

Chapter One

Once upon a time there was a great knight, a peaceful one.  People called that knight the mystical knight.  The land was called Advena, the Land of the Mysterious Dragons.  The dragons weren’t friendly at all.  That’s why they needed knights to fight them off.

One day in Advena a robot dragon shot right down and struck right at the mystical knight’s meditation room, and blasted a flamy fire.  But as fast as lightning the mystical knight dodged it and looked at him, and did a fiery flame back, but the robot dragon flew back up. 

The mystical knight said, “What was that power?  Where did it come from?”

He was thinking someone had made it.  But who?
