Ms. Maddox's Literati 1AB

The students were challenged to write one-sentence poems that captured an image. The first two lines and the first line of the third line were the same in each poem--that made the pattern. What finishes the pattern is different in each poem. These are easy to write and can be fun--you try it! Maybe yours will be more vivid and descriptive!

Here are the students' poems so far--more will be posted later.

I’ve ever seen
was a puppy
with very long hanging ears
and a dark brown color.

I’ve ever seen
was a cascade
clear water,
falling down from a mountain.

I’ve ever seen
was a sunset
closing down in the ground
and night fun following behind it.

I’ve ever seen

reflecting from the water
and the moon
brightening the long water streams.

The most beautiful thing
I’ve ever seen
was a butterfly
so cute and cuddly,
it made my smile
shine like the sun.

The most beautiful thing
I’ve ever seen
was a rainbow

a popsicle in the sky.

beyond the wonderful stars
and their exquisite white glare.

The most beautiful thing
I’ve ever seen
was a waterfall
thrashing on the rocks
and splashing into a lake.

I’ve ever seen

in the city

on her wedding day
when she walked
down the long, wide aisle.

connected to a
big stream.
