RHYME

MISSING

I’ve hunted near, I’ve hunted far

I even looked inside my car.

I've lost my glasses, I'm in need,

To have them now so I can read.

I loudly swear and I curse

Did I leave them in my purse?

Are they behind the sofa, under the bed?

Oh there they are - on my head!

REPETITION

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

"Oh, woeful, oh woeful, woeful, woeful day!
Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
"And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."
Robert Frost "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"
"A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course,
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed."
Theme Song from Mr. Ed, television show
"My conscience hath a thousand several tongues,
And every tongue brings in a several tale,
And every tale condemns me for a villain."
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE

She sweeps with many-colored Brooms

And leaves the Shreds behind
Oh Housewife in the Evening West
Come back, and dust the Pond!

Poised between going on and back, pulled

Both ways taut like a tight-rope walker,

Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball,

Or a kid skipping rope, come on, come on! …

Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,

He’s only flirting, crowd him, crowd him,

Rhythm Nine Syllables

Mr. Spencer is this teacher’s name,

Educating children is my game.

You’ll have a shot at fortune and fame.

Four line Stanzas

Spring is flying a kite in the park on a windy day

Spring is heading to the baseball park to watch your team play

Spring is the birds chirping and the flowers blooming

Spring is rolling the windows down while zooming

ODE

Crispy, crunchy, sizzly treat

That’s the bacon I like to eat!

Covered in eggs, smothered in jam,

It’s not like we’re talking about eating ham

O bacon, You salty masterpiece of pork

Pass on the spoon, Give me a fork!

Or perhaps none at all, I’ll just use my hands

Bacon, Dear bacon, you’re the best in the land!
