Remember, this Thursday we are doing our POETRY SLAM! You must complete your poem for homework! Remember the guidelines for the poem is as follows:

It must fall under one of the genres we studied (free verse, blank verse, perfect rhyme, slant rhyme, sonnet) and you must utilize one of the literary devices/terms we studied (simile, personification, metaphor, extended metaphor, tone, dialect, and so on). Also, please remember, the minimum length requirement is 4 lines (a quatrain).

Please let me know if you have ANY questions!
