Okay – this is fun and easy ~ it’s one I’ve become rather fond of. It’s a rather simple little 5-line poem with VERY SPECIFIC GUIDELINES. Its simplicity is its beauty. This is also an easy and fun poetic form to use with children.
Here is the format
for a Windspark poem:
Line 1 ~ “I dreamed” (that’s
it – just write I dreamed and do not
add anything)
Line 2 ~ “I was a/the
_______” (you fill in the blank, generally a one-word noun)
Line 3 ~ where/location
(keep it short: in the … on a … at the …) wherever
Line 4 ~ action (use an
“ing” verb with just a few more words to describe the action)
Line 5 ~ adverb (use only
ONE word – an adverb with a “ly” ending)
Here are a couple of examples I wrote a few years ago:
I dreamed
I was a butterfly
In a garden
Dancing in the wind
