Question

Now it is time to write your own poem! What will be the theme or topic of your poem? Consider what mood you want to create. Poems can paint pictures, create ideas, arouse emotions. Think about how you can use poetic devices to communicate with your readers. Will you use form, personification, an extended metaphor, a childlike rhyme scheme? You may choose to use one or all of these. You many decide to use other poetic devices studied in these lessons. Be creative!

Your poem must include the following:

Answer 1

The Ocean

Benignly roaring, fiercely lapping,

waves churning, never napping;

The ocean.

Chasing feet and leaving trails,

floating boats with reflective sails,

always moving without fail;

The ocean.

Vastly large but somehow small

when barges cut through with their haul,

uncaring about how their poison falls...

into...

the ocean.
