Duel Perspectives Poem

Choose one person from your poem--NOT YOU--and write a poem from their point of view. There is no length requirement, but you may not use end rhyme.

Homonym Poem

Today, I want you write a poem that uses two words that sound alike but have different meanings. Remember, a total of 30 lines, but any form that you like. You may use one predominate homonym or several. It is up to you. Good Luck.

Persuasive Poem

This is a poem where you are trying to convince somebody of something they don’t want to be convinced of. The poem is an argument, an attempt to persuade. Think about all the situations where you are trying to convince somebody of something: getting out of a ticket, getting mom or dad to not ground you for breaking curfew, getting a date with your dream girl/boy, getting mom or dad to give you more money, getting a teacher to let you turn in late work.

As far as form, try to use couplets throughout your poem. Good luck!

SHHH...I Have a Secret

With another person's secret, write a poem telling the story of that secret as if it were your own and addressing what you think about it. Play with form and structure. Remember, think about word choice and descriptions. Paint a picture in your reader's head.

If you are stuck, you could even look back at the secret as if you were older and wiser.

Good luck and be creative!
