We’ve been working hard so how about writing some Brevette Poems?
So this
LOOKS simple – THREE WORDS? Yeah, but it can be tricky ~ The Brevette ~ check
it out!! It will definitely be tricky for me because I struggle with brevity! No
titles needed.
ONLY THREE
WORDS? Yikes!!
There are a FEW particulars to this
poetry form created by Emily Romano.
Here’s a little grammar for you – I know you love it – this poem consists
of TWO NOUNS & a VERB:
LINE 1: a subject (noun)
LINE 2: a verb (the verb has a
space between each letter: v e r b)
LINE 3: an object (noun)
They need to
STAY in that exact order and yeah, there is ONE MORE THING!! In order for the
verb to show an ongoing action, it is spaced out, letter by letter.
Whether or
not you include a title is up to you, but otherwise, there is NO punctuation, and
all words are lower case ~
THREE WORDS – don’t be adding “helping verbs” or “articles” –
that’s cheating. Coming up with a subject and an object for the
nouns is surprisingly difficult. Seriously, this is trickier than it seems. So,
here are a couple of examples, some better than others:
REMEMBER TO ADD A SPACE IN THE MIDDLE LINE FOR YOUR VERB
