For the blog this week:
- Write a ten line poem about spring that uses TWO different figurative language devices.
- Write 2-3 sentences about which figurative language you chose and how it contributed to the theme or ideas of your poem.
Avoid clichés this week. A cliché is a phrase that is overused and lacks any original thought. For example, "April showers brings May flowers" is a cliché. Don't use it!
Here are three spring poems that do not use clichés:
William Carlos Williams:
