How to write a Weather Poem ~
Today’s challenge is to write a poem about the weather –
there are many ways you can approach it and feel free to use whatever style of
poetry suits you, but here is one idea:
Sometimes you can get your inspiration from a poem someone
else wrote – you won’t be copying the poem, but rather, copying the flow and
style of it. I’ll use a well-known poet and poem as an example:
Carl Sandburg and his poem on “Fog”
Fog
The fog
comes
on little
cat feet.
It sits
looking
over harbor
and city
on silent
haunches
and then
moves on.

OKAY – with this as our example here is how we would pick
what goes on which line in our new poem:
Title:
Form of Nature chosen
Line #1: Title + (how it arrives or begins as the animal would arrive)
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 (as the animal would leave)
Line #1: Title + (how it arrives or begins as the animal would arrive)
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 (as the animal would leave)
OK, with that, I'll leave
you to it - I have a family function today and will write my poem later
- once I do, I'll come back and put it in here and take this "excuse"
out. LOL ~ Cheers!! Have a nice day ~
