Part of Body POEM
Now, using Sarah's poem as inspiration, write a poem about a part of the body that we never really think about, but take for granted. Hands - Feet - Eyes - Fingers - Head - Hair, etc, etc.
Telling Lies
A different way of looking
One of the pleasures of writing poems is that you can tell lies without getting into trouble! It’s just using your imagination.
• Each member of your group will write three lies about the something other than the sea (the sky, the moon the stars, the sun, the clouds etc. can also work well)
• Be wild and imaginative with your lies avoiding the obvious or the dull (the moon is made of cheese).
A few examples of what they could write are:
The sea is made of blue ink and green paint
The sea hates it when it’s drawn as a wavy line.
The sea is cold because it hasn’t got a coat on
The sea going up and down is a sign it’s still breathing
The sea feeds on rubbish but even he can’t manage it all
If you smack the sea it will splash you back
The sea has a small cousin who is a pond
The sea will wave to you when you turn to leave
As you can see, what starts off as a lie becomes a mix of word play, sometimes truth, and off-the-wall creativity. It gives a chance to use imagination without forcing it and with a sense of fun.
Your group will perform/read the poem aloud - reading each member’s own line.
