Sorry I haven't gotten back to anybody about this thing! Zoe, do you mind if I come back later? I have a really big headache and am having trouble thinking of good poem ideas. Sorry...

How about we write about something smallish? Like a raindrop? Or maybe a leaf?

Zoe?

Sorry, I'm here.
I like the idea of writing about a raindrop or a leaf. We could even do a raindrop on a leaf after it rains. Do you think we should do it one person writes a line and then the other the next line. Personally I like that idea. Are we going to make it rhymed?
(March 26, 2009 - 3:48 pm)
Sure, we could do every other line. Personally, I think rhyming poems usually turn out to be rather cheesy because they're so hard to do, but if you want it to rhyme we could. I most often write poems with lines that have certain syllables. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's like, I will write a short verse however I think of it, and then write three more verses with different words but the same syllable pattern as the first verse.
Wow, that was hard for me to understand even though I'm the one who wrote it!
(March 28, 2009 - 10:02 am)
No I don't want to do a rhymed poem! I only mentioned it in case you did.:) I sort of understand what you mean about the syllables but do you think you could give me an example?
I sort of just write whatever I think of and then take a couple words out if it sounds too long. I tend to write short lines. Like anywhere there would be punctuation I just make another line.

Here's an example:
Light is
The morning sun,
Or the yellow walls
When I
Turn on my lamp.
Light is
The way a cloud
Would feel, if I could
Feel it's
Fluffy softness.
(Slightly modified from the last verse of a poem I submitted to Cricket and got first prize for.)
Now can you see what I mean with the syllables?
(April 1, 2009 - 2:58 pm)
Oh, I get it now!
So who's gonna start?
(April 1, 2009 - 4:23 pm)
Is it okay if I do? Oh, and I think that every time we add to the poem, we should type out the whole thing so far, with our next line at the end. That will make it easier to read.

How bout this:
Tiny diamond droplet
Crystal clear orb

Oh! I just read Lena and Maggie's thread where they each do two lines, and the poem goes a little faster instead of taking forever to write. What do you think?
(April 4, 2009 - 9:45 am)
Please come back...
(April 8, 2009 - 2:39 pm)
Oh my gosh I am soooo sorry!!!!!!:) I have been really really busy this week and haven't had much of a chance to relax and use the computer. Anyway I like how you started it but at the moment I can't really concentrate. I promise you I will think of something tomorrow! SORRY!
(April 8, 2009 - 8:02 pm)
That's okay. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't disappeared. Take your time. :)
