Metaphor Poems

This month I am having the students write metaphor poems. Most of the work on these is being done in class, however they will need to type their metaphor poem and print it. These are due February 27th.

 This is what I expect:
3 lines
3 stanzas
comparing an abstract noun to a concrete noun (This is their metaphor)

The first line of each stanza will be a metaphor the next two lines will be describing their metaphor. Each stanza will compare the same abstract noun to a different concrete noun.

For example:

Life
By: Auri Willard

Life is a highway (Metaphor)
Each person doing their own thing  (lines describing it)
Busily speeding through getting to where they need to go

Life is a rodeo (Metaphor)
Sometimes we fall off and get dirty (lines describing)
But we have to get up and keep going

Life is a roller coaster (Metaphor)
We all have our ups and downs  (lines describing)
There can be fun along the way

The final copy needs to be:
Typed in 12 pt. font that is legible
Have a title and the authors name
They need to add a picture of clip art to it to make it more fun to look at! :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Mrs. Willard
