Writing Poetry Rhyme and Rhythm Metaphors and Similes Limericks Epitaphs Sound of words Clerihew Haiku Useful websites Riddles Memory Poem

Rhyme and Rhythm A Sequence Poem – A rhyming sequence poem is a great way to start writing Poetry. It tell you about thing in order. The words at the ends of each pair of lines rhyme (lines that rhyme like this are called rhyming couplets). First write down all the words you can think of to describe what you want to write a poem about. A rhyming dictionary is helpful if you are stuck for a rhyme. By drafting and re-drafting the verse on rough paper first – you will end up with a better poem. Example: On Monday icy rain poured down and flooded drains all over town. Tuesday’s gale bashed elm and ash, Branches fell down with a crash.

Use Metaphors and Similes Metaphor – When you are writing poetry it can be very effective to describe something as if it is another thing that it reminds you of. This is called a Metaphor. It is a picture in words “The wind is a roaring lion”. Simile – Similes are similar to metaphors. They compare two things to make a word picture, using the word “as” or “like”. “My love is like a red, succulent rose”. “As strong as an ox”.

Limericks Not all poetry is serious. Limericks are humorous poems – although they have their own rules. A Limerick has 5 lines of poetry only. Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme. These lines have 8 syllables. (A syllable is a serparate sound – or part – within a word). The shorter lines (lines 3&4) rhyme with each other. These lines have 5 or 6 syllables. Example: There was a young lady from Deal Who threw food around at each meal. With manners so bad She angered her dad And made her poor mum shout and squeal.

Epitaphs An epitaph is a short verse carved on a headstone, in memory of a person who died. Epitaphs are usually serious; however, they can be humorous. Alliteration (words beginning with the same sound) can create humour Example: Here lies Acker Abercrombie, crazy zombie. Slightly scary, rather rude, he walks at midnight in the nude.

Clerihew Clerihew – in the 1800’s, an English novelist invented funny four-line rhyming poems about a person. The rules are simple; There are four lines consisting of two rhyming couplets. The first line is the person’s name. The other lines can be any length and the funnier and sillier the poem the better. Example: Mrs Cynthia Splat owned a black and white cat. They flew through the air on a jet- propelled chair!

Haiku A Haiku poem has the following rules; It has 3 lines. Line 1 has 5 syllables Line 2 has 7 syllables Line 3 has 5 syllables It doesn’t rhyme! Examples: Slinks to the wood’s edge and, with one paw raised, surveys The open meadows. Books left for marking, pens crammed in a pot, letters, cracked mug of cold tea.

A Memory Poem When you write free verse, it gives you the chance to make your poem into An interesting shape on the page. Example: The pleasant smell of dinner cooking in the kitchen on Christmas Day morning. I remember, I remember, The house where I was born. The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn...

A Persona Poem A persona poem is one written with the “voice” of someone (or something) else. The poet writes a viewpoint of another being. Example: I like Emma but I don’t know if she likes me. All the boys think I’m a fool. I wait beside the school gate at half past three trying to keep my cool. Emma walks past shaking her long hair free, laughs with her friends and drifts off home for tea.

The Sound of Word It is important to think about the sounds of the words you choose for your poems because they affect the rhythm and rhyme, too. You can make good use of words that sound like their meanings. This is called Onomatopoeia. Example: the cuckoo actually sounds like a cuckoo’s call. Sizzling sounds like sausages in a pan. “S” creates a sinister atmosphere and reminds the reader that “sss” is the sound a snake makes “Cl” makes a clattering sound – just like the car. The words “black”, “cat” “pads” and “patio” all have the same vowel sound. Example: Over rugged rocks The waterfall tumbles, and rumbles.

Riddles A riddle is a “puzzle-me-out” poem about a person, animal or object. The idea Is to give clues and the reader has to guess the answer. Descriptive Riddles: Some riddles are more descriptive. They tell you more than just the clues you need to solve them. Acrostic Riddles: An acrostic is a poem in which the first letter of each line forms a word when read vertically. Example: Who am I? S I am as flat as a football field. N I have legs but I never walk. A I don’t speak although I can squeak. K People sit around me E and eat hot dogs or ice-cream S but never think of feeding me!
