Smart by Shel SilversteinSmart by Shel SilversteinMy dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,And I swapped it for two shiny quarters'Cause two is more than one!
And then I took the quartersAnd traded them to LouFor three dimes -- I guess he don't knowThat three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind BatesAnd just 'cause he can't seeHe gave me four nickels for my three dimes,And four is more than three!
And I took the nickels to Hiram CoombsDown at the seed-feed store,And the fool gave me five pennies for them,And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,And he got red in the cheeksAnd closed his eyes and shook his head--Too proud of me to speak!

FREE VERSE POETRY
Unlike metered poetry, free verse poetry does NOT have any repeating patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables.
Does NOT have rhyme.
Free verse poetry is very conversational - sounds like someone talking with you.
A more modern type of poetry.

RHYME

![Page 12: Bell Ringer: March 5, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812a86550346895d8e20f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
END RHYME

Hector the Collector Collected bits of string.
Collected dolls with broken heads And rusty bells that would not ring.
![Page 13: Bell Ringer: March 5, 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56812a86550346895d8e20f8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INTERNAL RHYME

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe

RHYME SCHEME
A rhyme scheme is a pattern of rhyme (usually end rhyme, but not always).

SAMPLE RHYME SCHEME The Germ by Ogden Nash
A mighty creature is the germ, Though smaller than the pachyderm.
His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race.
His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my poppet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ.

Eye, they burnUp the page.

Mood: Example
During the holidays, my mother's house glittered with decorations and hummed with preparations. We ate cookies and drank cider while we helped her wrap bright packages and trim the tree. We felt warm and excited, listening to Christmas carols and even singing along sometimes. We would tease each other about our terrible voices and then sing even louder.
