Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by Nobody: 8:57pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
Its still not clear... But I think the other two boxes should be "12:00gmt" and "look before you leap" respectively Am I right? |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by EverestdeBliu(m): 9:00pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
honjohnbright:No o, rack up a bit,almost close. |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by texanomaly(f): 9:03pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
EverestdeBliu: Actually "look before you leap" is right. Not 12:00T Though. |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by EverestdeBliu(m): 9:05pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
texanomaly:Oh didn't see that,he clustered all o' em together. |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by Nobody: 9:07pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
EverestdeBliu: Kk. How about "12:00T" in the middle of the second box And "look u leap" in the last box |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by EverestdeBliu(m): 9:09pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
honjohnbright:"Look before U leap" was correct. |

Ok guys there is not really a class...per se tonight. I started a lesson and realized I wanted more time to develop it. I've started a lesson on the history of poetry in Nigeria. It needs more time though. 1 Like |

Everest and I decided we would do Bio poems instead. We can get to know a little about each other that way. If you prefer you can make up a character to write about. |
Re: Poetry Classes For Beginners - NPC (Signup Thread) by Nobody: 9:17pm On Jan 25, 2015 |
EverestdeBliu: Then d middle box should be "12:00GMT" |

[b] A BioPoem is a structured collection of vivid details about a character's life, personality traits and aspirations: a portrait in words. In creating your BioPoem, try to avoid generalizations, which tend to be boring and uninteresting, in favour of vivid details which reveal interesting aspects of your subject. The structure of the BioPoem you are going to use is outlined below. Begin each line with the words in quotes where indicated, and after research supply the details requested in the parentheses. Good luck! Line 1: (Character's first name) Line 2: "Relative of..." or Friend of..." (List 3 or 4 relatives or friends) Line 3: (List 4 character traits that would describe this person or his personality Line 4: (Position or job) Line 5: "Lover of..." (3 things, people, activities, etc.) Line 6: "Who felt..." (3 emotions and explanations) Line 7: "Who has been..." (3 places or events this character has been) Line 8: "Who needed..." (3 descriptions of things this character may have needed) Line 9: "Who feared..." (3 descriptions of things this character may have feared) Line 10: "Who gave..." (3 descriptions of what this character has given to family, friends, the world, etc.) Line 11: "Who longed for..." (3 descriptions) Line 12: "Who would like to have seen..." (3 descriptions of things the character may have wanted to have seen in his lifetime) Line 13: (Synonym - one profound word that describes the character) Line 14: "Resident of..." (description of place, dates, location, etc.) Line 15: (Character's last name) [/b] |

Here is an example of a bio poem. Winnie the Pooh Winnie Cheerful, optimistic, loyal, 'a bear of very little brain' Friend of Piglet, Christopher Robin, Eeyore and Tigger Teddy bear, friend, confidante and honey hunter Lover of honey, impromptu songs and hums, honey and more honey Who feels adventurous on expeditions, fearful of Woozles and protective of Piglet Who fell out of a tree, got pulled into the air by a kite and walked in the 100 Acre Wood Who needed advice from Christopher Robin, occasional mothering from Kanga and a 'little something' at 11:00 Who feared empty honey pots, Tigger's bounces and bees Who gave Eeyore the house he already had, the game of Pooh-Sticks to his friends and unlimited love to Christopher Robin Who longed for more honey, to look like a cloud and fly Who would like to have seen Christopher Robin remain a child forever, the return of 'small' and Eeyore happy Loveable Resident of 100 Acre Wood and Christopher Robin's imagination The Pooh 2 Likes |

Write your bio poems and bring them here. Let's get to know each other, or just have a little fun by making a silly bio poem. 1 Like |
