Express Yourself!!

Poetry is...an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response.

Couplet Poems

The definition of a couplet is a pair of successive lines of verse, especially a pair that rhyme and are of the same length.  Here is my own example:

Down by the river sat a little green frog,
Who croaked all day long on the soggy brown log.

Couplets are a fun and easy way to explore poetry using rhyme and rhythm.  Give it a try!  Post your own example of a couplet.

Shel Silverstein
