  1. Rhyme Time You started rhyming poetry back in Kindergarten.

  2. I Have to Write a Poem I have to write a poem I really don't know how.So maybe I'll just make a rhymewith something dumb, like cow.Okay, I'll write about a cow,but that's so commonplace.I think I'll have to make her be...a cow from outer space!

  3. How to write a Poem • Kenn Nesbitt explains the creative thought process involved in writing a poem. • In each stanza, Kenn has used three beats for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th lines da DUM, da DUM, da DUM • He used 4 beats in his third lines. da DUM, da DUM, da DUM, da • Kenn has used an ABCB rhyme pattern in all stanzas.

  4. You don’t have to make your poem rhyme or have a certain rhythm, but adding rhythm and rhyme could make your poem even more special. Now this is a story all about how My life got flipped turnedupside down. And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there. I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.

  5. The rhythm can be an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. • That may sound hard to do, but it isn’t. The English language is loaded with rhythms like this, and we tend to speak that way. • Listen: We TEND to SPEAK that WAY. • The rhyme pattern is easy, too: ABCB.

  6. Here’s what one stanza of an "If I…" poem looks like: If I were ruler of the world,I’d make some changes fast.I’d say, "The ruler’s always first;His little brother’s last."

  7. Let’s try one with a partner If I were teacher for a day, I’d make some changes fast. I’d say, “___________________” ____________________________. (Remember the last word has to rhyme with fast.)

  8. Pick a partner • Complete your poem with your partner. • Be sure to listen for the rhythm and the rhyme.

  9. Couplets are two-line poems with a fun and simple rhyming pattern. • Each line has the same meter and their endings rhyme with one another. • Couplets are often humorous • My English teacher wants me to use imaginationSo I go to math class and let my mind go on vacation!

  10. Your turn…Let’s write a couplet about a friend. My friend’s name is _________and he/she is very ____________________. I like this person as a friend because he/she _______________.

  11. Example… My friend’s name is Mrs. Schone and she is very funny. I like this person as a friend because she shares her money!
