Poetry.

My Name:

Prompt: Write two poems using any of the forms we covered in class. Make the two poems relate
in some way. Use descriptive language (describe sights, sounds, smells, touch, tastes) and poetic
devices (simile, metaphor, alliteration, etc). Think about line and form. Great poems will use
poetic form, poetic devices, and precise language to describe their topic.

Rubric.
