St. Valentine's Day

1) Writing a love poem

Roses are red;

Violets are blue;

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you!

The rules

Here are the rules for creating your own “Roses are Red” Valentine’s Day poem:

§  The second line has to rhyme with the fourth line

§  The first line should start ‘Roses are red’

§  The second should either follow the format noun-’is/are’-adjective* or ‘And so is…noun’

§  The third line should always follow the format noun-’is/are’-adjective

§  The last line should start with ‘And’ or ‘But’

2) Think of as many pairs of objects which normally go together. Make a long list of as many as you can. Then write your own version of this poem.

Without you

 I’m like a street with no name

 I’m like a ship without sea

 or a firework without flame.

Without you

I’m like a duck on dry land,

for whatever I do

you always understand!
