Poetry Challenge 2008
April is National Poetry Month To celebrate we are having a poem writing and performing challenge. Write a poem using one of the following themes and perform it for the class on April 28th. The best poets go on to perform at the HOB First Annual Poetry Slam! Themes: growing up, friendship, bad day, favorite things.Guided Poetry – remember the 3 R’s – repetition, rhyme and rhythm!
Suggestions: Name a friend. Name a description of friend or a quality. Compare the friend to something (metaphor). Repeat using another friend or another quality.
Sample:
Do you know Jack?
Bad news with Nikes and speed
Belt slung low
Where does he go
To get what he needs?
Do you know Jack?
Always looking for a fight
Pickin and jivin
What does he do
To get himself right?
