Poetry, Day Two: Face

* For today’s poem, take a single face you know as your point of departure. It doesn’t even have to be a real-life, flesh-and-blood face you’re writing about. Faces are everywhere in the texture of our daily lives: from portraits in the museum to the banknotes in our wallets, and from billboards and street art to online profile pictures.
* If you’d like to push yourself a bit further today, give alliteration a try — it’s a handy poetic device that involves repeating the same consonant sound multiple times.

Yep, I am taller

“I am taller than you ha-ha!
You are shorter than me ha-ha!”

“In your face sucker!
I ate all the peanut butter!”

Techno Granny

Techno savvy red-haired granny
Plucking her phone, working fingers to the bone

“I am no nanny and I don’t want a scone!
Young lady, don’t give me that tone!”

Um, I don’t know

“Is it a dog, frog or a hog?
I should not have had that last grog!”

“I only see fog,
Or maybe it’s smog?”

“I need to write my blog
And then go out for a jog”

What, no treat?

Bull faced doggy with his mouth quite soggy
Was right on treat time when the clock struck five

“I won’t leave this spot,
Until you gimme all you got!”

Day One: Water

* Photography means “drawing with light.” When you take a picture with your camera, you use and record light to create an image. When we’re out and about, we often use the sun — our most abundant light source — to capture our scenes.
* For today’s poem, experiment with haiku — a short poetic form that works particularly well with nature-themed poetry.
o The haiku is a Japanese verse in three lines. Line one has 5 syllables, line 2 has 7 syllables and line three has 5 syllables. Haiku is a mood poem and it doesn’t use any metaphors or similes. Usually when Haiku is taught the students are only given the restriction of the number of lines and syllables.

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it” Lao Tzu

Dark Liquid

Still water on ground
Dark cloud let it fall down
Light nowhere found

With a hop and skip
Over the puddles I step
My damn shoe got wet
