Nature Personified Poem

This is a fun little 5-line poetry form that will remind you of Carl Sandburg’s poem, “Fog.”

Title: Nature Form (such as wind, rain, heat, snow)

Line 1   Title + (how it arrives or begins)

Line 2   Tell what it does

Line 3   and how it does it

Line 4   and where it is

Line 5 Tell how it leaves

Example:

Wind
The wind dances in on
Trotting horses’ feet
It stops in a golden
Valley looking about through
Fiery eyes, and then rages past
At a mighty gallop.

Here’s “Fog” by Carl Sandburg:

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
