Evidence Write a Poem
PROMPT
In The Poem That Will Not End, the narrator writes poems about things and events in his
daily life, such as skateboards, soccer, and storms.
Imagine you are writing a poem for your school’s online poetry magazine. The topic
can be anything in your daily life: brushing your teeth, eating lunch, or studying for a
test—you name it! Choose a poetic form, or type of poem, from The Poem That Will Not
End, and use it as a model for your poem. It doesn’t have to rhyme, but it does need to
include specific, descriptive words and phrases to express your feelings and ideas.
Think about your five senses as you develop these details. Don’t forget to use some of
the Critical Vocabulary words in your writing.
PLAN
Make a section for notes about the characteristics of your chosen poetic
form. Then make another section of notes about ideas for your poem.
