Assignment: 16. Essay: Pen Picture
Create your own PEN PICTURE.
Pick a subject (something fairly easy and familiar to you, for example, brothers, my sister, puppy) and type a pen picture of your own.
A pen picture is a very short, three-lined poem. Each line is a metaphor or description of the subject of the poem. The lesson titled "Poetic Forms (1)" has models to look at if you need them. Remember, poetry paints ideas using words.
Here is an example of a pen picture by Elizabeth Loeks Bouman:
Freshly Fallen Snow (title)
Whipped cream on pumpkin pie;
A soft white baby blanket;
A cirrus cloud that's come to earth.
Be creative! Remember to proofread before turning in. :)

Assignment: 25. Project: Limericks
Write ONE limerick of your own.
Remember a limerick is a nonsense poem of five lines. A limerick is a short poem that follows a particular pattern. It is usually funny and clever. In limericks, lines one, two, and five all rhyme with each other and consist of three beats to a line. Lines three and four also rhyme with each other and are much shorter, having only two beats to a line.
Example:
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!--
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
--Edward Lear
