Introduction to Poetry

I understand how to find the meter, stanzas, rhyme schemes, and alliterations in a poem and what they are.

Have you ever read or heard poetry in your life?

One way Taylor Swift expresses her thoughts and feelings is by making snow globes.

What is an example of an alliteration in the poem?

Alliteration: The repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of a group of words.

In this stanza, which two words create a rhyme scheme?

Rhyme scheme: A pattern of rhyming words at the end of lines.

The sun is setting sooner now,

My swimsuit's packed away,

How do I hold the summer fast,

Or ask it, please, to stay?

Your tongue has a special pattern that only you have. Like a finger print!
