Day 5 - Three Word Forms
Three word forms are poems that tell a story with three words per line, e.g.
Walk, run, jog
run, jog, stop
jog, stop, start
Each line of the poem has only three words, with the last two words becoming the first two words in the next line. In the poem, there will be a progress of images and a story will be told.
Directions: Create two three line poems. Don't forget, in each new line of the poem, the words shift one space to the left and a new word is placed at the end. Try for at least seven lines and make sure you have only three words per line!
