The teacher in me LOVES poems that deal with grammar – this one is a very easy and fun poetry form. It is simple but precise, as it reinforces different aspects of grammar.
This grammar poem form is five lines long and focuses on very particular parts of speech 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. Must include 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 a link about adverbs if you are unsure. Some may surprise
you: ADVERBS
Here’s an example:
Entertaining and curious
Lying on my keyboard lazily
Like the Queen of Sheba
If only she would nap somewhere else
