Just fill in the blanks on the one below, and you will have done it. Poetry does not have to rhyme you know, but see if you can make a pattern with the beats.
1 | (Name) [Beats ] |
Sa - rah 1 1 [2] |
2 | (adjectives - describing words) [Beats] | brown haired, friend-ly, chee-ky,
small 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 [7] |
3 | (Brother/sister of) [Beats] |
no-one 1 1 [2] |
4 | [Beats] |
[7] |
Line 4 will have 7 beats - and so you go on.
You can have a pattern of three lines or four, or however many you like, so long as there is a pattern.
