Haiku: You are to write three haikus about each of the following:
1. A lamb jumping through the air
2. A Hawk grabbing a fish from the pond
3. A rhino and her baby
You cannot use the above words in your haiku. Remember, the syllable count is 5,7,5 (only 3 lines).
Once you finish this you are to write me an 8 line poem using couplets. So you will write four sets of couplets. Each line should be the litererary device shown in the example below, and remember, each couplet must rhyme.
Like a landfill, the stench seeps
and saturates the skies (simile)
Pollution permeates, penetrates,
and petrifies. (alliteration)
The atmosphere becomes an open
grave (metaphor)
Seeping, reeking, leaping, no
chance to save (assonance)
The atmosphere cries and coughs
with pain (personification)
Filth withers and lines the earth
with stain (consonance)
As the warping odor defiles the
water and air (imagery
– smell)
The solution for pollution is a
worldly care. (couplet)
