Dream Poems My Bed is Like a Sailing Ship My bed is like a sailing ship- when I'm tucked in, I take a trip. I leave behind my busy day and sail to places far away. I sail past beaches, gleaming white, with palm trees swaying in the night. I watch the waves break on the shore, and then I see my bedroom floor! I blink my eyes, I scratch my head- my ship is home, I'm back in bed. My ships goes sailing every night and sails home in the morning light. © 1996 by Bruce Lansky, reprinted from Sweet Dreams with permission of Meadowbrook Press

If I were Poems If you were a shining star

And I were your midnight, I’d let you shine above me, You’d be my only light.

If you were a scoop of ice cream And I were an ice cream cone, I’d put you on my shoulders And hold you for my own.

If you were a grand piano And I were a sweet love song, I’d let your keys tickle and tease My melody all day long.

If you were the pages of my book And I were reading you, I’d read as slow as I could go So I never would get through.

If I were Poems n  The If-You-Were and If-I-Were Poems consist of

4 lines (quatrain) and 2 rhymes (lines 2 & 4). Each poem contains 2 comparisons (metaphor), one for the “I” of the poem and one for the “you.”

What is Repetition? n  Repetition is used to make an impact on the

poem’s tone. Words or phrases are repeated throughout the poem.

Here comes summer, Here comes summer,

Chirping robin, budding rose. Here comes summer, Here comes summer,

Gentle showers, summer clothes. By Shel Silverstein

What is Alliteration? n  Alliteration uses the same beginning word

sounds over and over, like a tongue twister.

My beautiful bubbles burst and then, I simply blow some more again. The setting sun slipped slowly down, Making room for the milky moon.

Alliteration Poems An alliteration poem uses sound to create a special effect. To create an alliteration poem, n  choose words that begin with the same sound n  Try writing three lines of poetry with alliteration in each

line. n  The trick is to make all the words start with the same

sound.

Terrible, taunting Tom Took the test

Two times two.

"I rose and told him of my woe." Whitman's "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer" contains assonantal "I's" in the following lines: "How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, / Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself."

WHAT IS RHYME? n  Rhyme is used in

many poems. Using words that sound alike makes poetry fun to read and write.

List Poems In a list poem the first line is the title and consists of a word or phrase

stating the main idea. Then there are several short statements that tell the author’s feelings about the main idea.

What makes me happy Reaching my goals,

Making others smile, Being accepted for who and what I am, Ice cream sundaes

on a hot summer day, Having others call me friend.

What is an Ekphrasis Poem? n  A poem based on a picture or work of art. Mary Jo Bang described her own approach to ekphrastic

poems: "I am taking an existing work of art and rewriting over it. I'm imposing a new narrative on it, one that is partially suggested by the artwork itself and partially by something that comes from within. Sometimes that thing is an autobiographical moment, sometimes it's a larger concern, social or political or intellectual." - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/20581#sthash.a8j9lVED.dpuf

How do I write an Ekphrasis Poem? n  Write a poem in three stanzas that is based on an

image or work of art. n  In the first stanza, focus solely on description. n  In the following stanzas, take your own approach:

n  you can continue to describe, n  impose a narrative on the scene, n  reveal something about yourself or the artist. n  represent all of the senses in your description.
