Poetry Project – your going to make 1 post in your blog that contains 16 different types of poetry. Make sure to number and label them, i.e. #13 – Limerick

Thoughts on the poetry so far:

#1 – use 2-3-4 word phrases, not just one; put some thought into it, what do you remember most?

#2 – the last line is “But I DO understand……..

#3 – use words that rhyme, not the same word twice;choose the rhyming words first, then create the poem; you need 2 couplets; #1 has 2 pairs of ryhmes, #2 has only 1 pair at the end of lines 2 & 4

#4 – read the directions on types of words and 3 of syllables

Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs has an offseason hobby his teammates might mock: reading comic books. Mr. Briggs is a self-proclaimed comic nerd with about 500 books in his collection, some of which he auctions off for fund-raisers. He says he doesn’t know any other comic-book readers in the NFL. “A lot of guys say they like them, but then you talk about the books and realize they’re not real comic-book lovers,” he says.

—David Biderman
