Thursday and Friday

A few of you told me you'd be out, so here is the work for Thursday and Friday.

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)
