This
type of poem is simple but precise as it reinforces different aspects of
grammar. This grammar poetry form is five lines long. The specifics are as
follows:
Directions:
Line 1. Write a noun for the subject (THIS serves as your
TITLE as well)
Line 2. Write two adjectives joined by and to
describe this noun
Line 3. Write a verb and an adverb to describe this
noun in action
Line 4. Start it with like or as followed by a
comparison
Line 5. Start it with if only followed by a wish
Remember: Most adverbs tell you how, where, or when something is done and MANY (but certainly not all) adverbs end in “ly.” [quickly, carefully, early, happily, etc.] In other words, they describe the manner, place, or time of an action. In fact, here’s link about adverbs if you are unsure. Some may surprise you: ADVERBS

EXAMPLES:
Some of my “grammar poems”
Writer's block
Infuriating and debilitating
Slowing me down temporarily
Like grease clogging up a drain
If only I had a very large plunger!

My kitty
Entertaining and curious
Laying on my keyboard lazily
Like the Queen of Sheba
If only she would nap someplace else

My
Savior, Jesus Christ
Flawless
and loving
Atoning
selflessly
Like
the perfect son of God
If only
I can be found worthy

Here's mine!
Spring in Utah
Crazy and confusing
Winds blowing and howling gustily
Like an engine of an airplane
If only it were summer!
Sorry mine is a day late
My baby
sweet and silly
quickly crawling everywhere
like an excited puppy
If only she didn't get into everything.
And the one I forgot to post today is here:

Come see me!
My Holland
Colorful and Beautiful
Blooming in the soil brightly
Like a patchwork quilt
If only I could visit there…someday
