Pattern Poems are actually poems with a rhyme scheme:
Rhyme Scheme is rhymed words at the ends of lines.
Example:
| Roses are red | the sound (“red”) | The first sound is given the | a | ||
| Violets are blue | the sound (“blue”) | The next sound is given the | b | ||
| Sugar is sweet | the sound (“sweet”) | The next sound is given the | c | ||
| And so are you. | the sound (“blue” and “you” rhyme) | The next sound is given the | b | ||
|
The poem has an a b c a rhyme
scheme. If the poem were to continue beyond four lines it would have to end the same way, continue the poem on your own and turn it in to the Teacher: |
|||||
| Must rhyme with (“red”) | a | ||||
| Must rhyme with (“blue”) | b | ||||
| Must rhyme with (“sweet”) | c | ||||
| Must rhyme with (“blue”) | b | ||||
Write five different pattern poems (of a minimum of ten lines each) and label each pattern: Due Monday!
Note, the pattern doesn’t have to be ten lines but you must continue the poem for at least that long… you may run out of words that rhyme in an a b poem;0
