ORGANIZING POEMS• Poems are not organized like prose. Instead of
sentences we organize poems into lines, and instead of paragraphs we organize lines into stanzas.
THE BEAST
When singing songs of scariness,Of bloodiness and hairyness,I feel obligated at this moment to remind youOf the most ferocious beast of all:Three thousand pounds and nine feet tall-The Glurpy Slurpy Skaskagrall-Who’s standing right behind you.

THE WEIRD BIRD
Birds are flyn’ south for winter.
Here’s the Weird-Bird headin’
north.
Wings-a-flappin’, beaks-a-
chatterin’,
Cold head bobbin’ back and

He says, “It’s not that I like ice
Or freezin’ winds and snowy
ground.
It’s just sometimes it’s kind of
nice
To be the only bird in town.

RHYTHM & BEAT• In most words that have more than one syllable, one
of the syllables is pronounced more strongly than the others. We say that this syllable is “stressed” or “accented.”
• For example, the word “apple” has two syllables – ap-ple – and the first syllable is pronounced more strongly than the second. That’s why the word is pronounced “AP-pull” and not “ap-PULL.”
• The pattern of stressed syllables is called “Rhythm” or “Beat”.

give a visual effect to match the topic
and feeling of the poem – the shape
expresses what the poem is about.
• Use strong, colorful words to describe
topic
• Remember to think about the five
senses
Concrete vs.
Abstract
If something is abstract it exists as an
idea but doesn’t have
a physical form.
Something that is
concrete is something
that is physical and
can be observed with the senses.

you’ve changed since the
beginning of this year.
What things did you used to like or do
that you don’t like
any more or do
differently now?
I used to be afraid of change,But now I love new adventures.I used to be shy,But now I’m the life of the party.I used to hate cleaning,But now I enjoy the smell of a clean house.I used to be annoyed by my mom,But now I wish she lived closer.I used to be afraid of a crowd,But now I love standing in front of my students!
