The Lost Poems (a.k.a. 3 Poems by You)

Poem 1:  I . . . Poem

·         Must have at least 4 stanzas, each stanza at least 4 lines long

·         Each stanza begins with:  “I” and a verb of your choice

·         Must pick 4 different verbs (see other side)

Ex.  I follow the leaders in the school . . .  I dream of being free . . . I imagine myself as a cat . . .

 Poem 2:  The Small Things

·         Must have at least 10 lines

·         Choose one (1) detail at the park to write in depth about

·         Can be free verse or have end rhymes

Ex.       The smallest ant practically disappears

            From sight.

            That does not mean

            It runs from a fight.

 Poem 3:  The Big Things

·         Same requirements as the small detail poem, choose 1 theme instead

Ex.       The sky arches over my head

            And clouds take sight shape.

            Planes and birds and kites

            Obstruct my view of what’s above the clouds.
