10/22/17 - My Entry

My Camera: A Poem

Big, expensive, and black;
Kept safe with a long clothe strap;
Creating memories with a "kuchickity chack"
Together, as a team, we snap snap snap.

Three inch screen
And a bright light sent,
Helps me glean
Each special moment.

Built in a factory,
It has many twins.
But this camera, it's MINE.
And so are the grins. 😀

10/22/17 - Assignment Prompt

Hello everyone!

Today I would like you to pick an object.  It can be a favorite thing of yours, or simply something in the room with you.  Then, you will write a poem about that object!  You can make it silly or serious.  And remember, to share your work with your friends, and check out everyone else's posts!

Before you start your poem, try some of these pre-writing exercises.  After you have your object in mind, write some lists of words that tell us about that object.  These lists can included what it does, what it means, what it means to you, what it looks/feels/smells/tastes/sounds like, similar objects, or anything else that you think may help you write your poem.  And after you have your list, don't forget to try and find synonyms and antonyms that may work better for your poem.

I've included my pre-writing, and I'll share my poem in a later post, after I've had a chance to see what wonderful work you submit!

Submit any questions you may have as comments, so when someone else has that question, they can find their answer.
