During Ian’s demo on using multi-genre learning today, we were asked to create a piece from a Wikipedia reference about Tri-State television figure, Mr. Cartoon. Instead of working on an inner dialogue, I decided to create short “I Am” Poems about the two main characters from the show, Mr. Cartoon and Beeper.
I am Mr.Child of television’s creativityWho lives in reels of tape and the hearts and minds of- Tri-State cartoon loversWho loves the laughter and admiration of childrenWho needs the disguise of a plaid jacket and hatWho fears being outed as the weather manWho hates the loss of innocenceCartoon I am BeeperChild of Hanna BarberraWho lives in a fur mascot suitWho loves the yucket bucketWho needs a voiceWho fears being seen with his head offWho hates being caught at pranksFriend of Mr. Cartoon
