Presentation Transcript

  1. Couplets • The simplest rhymed pattern • Two rhyming lines • Usually funny Examples (You don’t need to write these): Papa’s what we call my dad, Don’t go near him when he’s mad. The teacher called the students in Then wished she could escape the din.

  2. Quatrains • Four-line poems • May follow one of these rhyme schemes: AABB, ABAB, ABBA, or ABCB • May be grouped together in stanzas to form a long poem.

  3. Quatrains You don’t have to write these!! Upon this cake of ice is perched The paddle-footed Puffin; To find his double we have searched, But have discovered – Nuffin! Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. The rushing ocean waves Beat harshly on the sand. They roar and crash and foam As they break upon the land. Bumping at the windowpane He fought against the solid air That held him as a prisoner there, But all his struggles were in vain.
