Compose an eight stanza lyric poem. Remember, lyric poems emphasize musical
qualities. It may help to imagine that you are writing lyrics for a song- because-lyrics are lyric
poems.
Your poem must have eight, four-line stanzas. The second and fourth line of each stanza
(except the last stanza) must rhyme, but they do not have to rhyme with the other stanzas.
In your last stanza only, your second and fourth lines will rhyme. That is, you will finish
with a couplet.
Your poem must have four examples of figurative language (e.g. Metaphor, simile,
personification, etc.). Highlight figurative language with yellow.
