Just something to help get you going: Starting with Little Things: A Guide to Writing Poetry in the Classroom from Starting with Little Things: A Guide to Writing Poetry in the Classroom from Chapter 5, “Turning Abstractions into Concrete Images” Exercise: Images of Feelings Make a list of emotions on the board: love, hate, jealousy, embarrassment, fear, courage. More. Beginning each sentence with one of these words, write similes or metaphors so that these feelings appear as something you can see, hear, taste, touch or smell. Avoid comparing one feeling to another (love is like happiness). Write a poem about one feeling, using several similes. Or use a different feeling in each sentence. Another possibility of to begin each sentence with “When”; for example, “When (something happened), I was as (happy, sad, angry) as (image).” Jealous Jealous is like a planet watching a shuttle go swiftly past it. Jealous is like a American bomber looking at a jet speeding away. Jealous is like a broken down car watching a future car in a race. -Jeff Lewis When my goldfish died I was as sad as a mixedup word trying to get spelled right. “Self-Image” Part of our self-image, the picture we have of ourselves, comes from our sense of place: where we were born, where we’ve grown up and explored, places we dream about. We feel comfortable in some places; in others, we don’t. Even within a fairly small place, such as a house, we may identify more with certain rooms, or corners, or objects – the individual parts of a scene. Such subjective feelings are important to our sense of individuality, as well as to our sense of community with people who share our feelings. Learning to recognize ourselves in the world around us is a step toward self-knowledge and maturity that has always been important in literature. Exercise: Identification Thinking of your own “roots,” write a poem titled “Born in (California, New York, Chicago, Bend, Redmond).” Begin each sentence with “I am.” Pick out images that come first to mind. Expand sentences; let the reader see as much as possible. If you are the Golden Gate Bridge, what else can you say about yourself? The bridge boats pass under on their way to China? The bridge always choked with traffic? The bridge shining golden in fog? Tell exactly what you see. Or make a list of different things you might be. If you re an animal, what are you doing? (If a cat, are you sleeping by the fire, chasing a bird, running from a dog, climbing a tree and getting stuck?) If you re an object, where are you – in a kitchen, a bedroom, street, hospital, factory, gutter, cave? What element of nature, time of day, or day of the week? Students should sense a wide variety of possibilities, and should try for different opening words: Yesterday I was, Today I am, Some days I am, Once I was. Myself Examples: I am a mountain very snowy and waiting to be climbed. I am a big white horse waiting to be ridden. And I am the wind blowing all the seeds. I am just now being born. – John Bard I am the clock that is never wound. I am the fish that is out of the sea. I am like a frog that is out of order. I am the sun that is rain. – Stuart You look at me I melt like snow in the golden sun When you talk to me I’m closed like a door in a jail But deep inside I want to tell you all my wishes and fears You have to realize that I’m like a book You have to read between the lines. – Yvonne M. 1 Like |
