The 3rd and 4th lines must also rhyme, but not with the other three lines. A clumsy young fellow named Jim Was never informed how to swim He fell off a dock And sank like a rock And that was the end of him

  12. Cinquain They are 5 line poems that describe a person, place, or thing. Traditional cinquain poems follow a specific pattern. That pattern is: 2 syllables, 4 syllables,6 syllables 8 syllables, and 2 syllables. Modern cinquains poems are based on a word count of words of a certain type. 1 word (Noun), 2 words (adjectives), 3 words (verbs), 4 words (describing a feeling about the title), 1 word referring back to the title.

  13. Alliteration The repetition of a consonant sound Windshield wipers wipe the windshield Wipe the water off the pane This Way That Way This Way That Way This Way That Way In the rain

  14. Personification Poetry that assigns human characteristics to non human things. Dinner Knife was the first to speak He was known mostly for his sharp cutting remarks Chairs sat down underneath the table Napkins folded themselves into their laps Teapot. Unable to stand the tension, began to boil Cup held one hand on her hips Knowing she could hold her own Fork and spoon huddled off to the side next to the plate They knew plate could handle whatever was dished out

  15. Simile and Metaphor Sky, Earth, and Water The sky was as mad as a raging bull, The earth as hurt as a rabbit in a snare, The water as strong as a lion, But Mother Nature calmed them all. Love Love is as wide as the earth, Friendship are as thick as the sea. Happiness is as deep as a song, Laughter in you and me.
