Poetry

It still has notes on from during the course btw 

- Couplet poetry: AA BB rhyming style. Reads fluently, remember it easily, children's poems, song lyrics.

She saw the sky and smiled wide,

And she knew that it had never lied

In the blue she found a home

And found she'd never be alone

- Tercets: AA B CC B

Softly treading, silently creeping,

In the night you'll see us reaping,

And know to be afraid.

We'll sing a song,

Of all that's gone,

The past you have obeyed.

- Stanza/Ballad stanza: four lines A B C B or A B A B

Captured in a single frame,

They smiled for all the world to see,

But for all the world they couldn't show,

Their longing for what might be.

The future they saw could not be real,

For it would outshine the stars,

Something quite so glorious,

That they could forget their scars.

- Shape Poetry: three lines, 5, 7, 5 syllables

A star exploding,

It fills my heart with wonder

How bright the end is.

For the ones alone

Open your eyes and look up.

I see them smiling

A tree may reach out

But the thing most important

It's roots must stay true

Winter

Blue, White

Silently creeping, ending

As cold as -89.2 degrees

As wet as 373 millilitres

Suddenly blooming, restart

Blue, Green

Spring

DEAD LEAF

So brown and frail,

But once so grand and so large,

You have seen eons.

Gone in this moment,

You have lost your green of life,

What is this echo?

Fragile and breaking,

You were so strong before this,

Where did you go to?
