So far, we've talked about sound effects, and visual effects. Others have talked about structural effects. Another important part of creating a poem is deciding on its content, or what the poem is actually saying. In the our next class we'll look at how writing a poem can, in many ways, be similar to writing a story. . Challenge: 1) Try writing some more difficult acrostic poems. 2) The Minute Poem -also called Traditional Minute poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff. 3) or choose a prompt and write a poem using any of the lessons you've learned so far from any teacher. Be sure to tag that teacher and any others you would like to review it. |

....... GREATNESS........ 'Tis not aloofness and contempt Nor the mind that live for self alone; 'Tis not the vanity of power Nor the giant use of might; 'Tis not the cloak of worldly gain Nor the gleam of gold and precious stones. 'Tis simple faith in the goodness of Right, 'Tis the humble thoughts of a balanced mind, 'Tis the heart to do the greatest good, To help the poor and fight for the weak; Tis the painful patience to forebear And see the other's better side; Such is true greatness,such the goal to which the noble heart aspires. ~D.C.

EverestdeBliu: I just realized there are no prompts to choose from on 3. Here they are: Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that starts with a one word title, two words in the first line, three in the next, and continues by adding one word per line. Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that describes a walk through a house from the perspective of a child. Poetry Prompt - Write a poem concerning the "absence" of something. Consider the absence as a positive, or a negative. Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that begins with a description of an event, telling what appears to be happening. Then give a description of what is really occurring. 3 Likes 1 Share |
