A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds (or the same sound) in two or more words. Children’s poems, called “nursery rhymes”, usually contain strong rhymes so they are easy to be remembered. In modern poetry, however, features other than rhyme are more important. Lines of modern poetry can be of variable length, the shape of the words on the page is more important, and rhyme is not often used. 2 Think about words and expressions related to nature and add them to the mind map. 3 Work in pairs. Plan a poem. Consider the following: • what your poem will be about • what kind of poem you are going to write • what figures of speech you will use • what words you can use for that rhyme (if using rhyme) Now write your poem. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4 Work
