'Bigger' Poems
8.) Write a poem about things bigger than expected. [Examples- train at night, brown bear in Canada, blood sucker (leech) in a Canadian lake.] Describe three things, one to two lines per thing, with lines two to seven words long. A student asked, 'can we write about colors?' I thought, 'why not?'
