Write a poem about Thanksgiving. Your poem can be about what giving thanks means to you, or it can be about the food, or it can be about Indians and Pilgrims.
Your poem must follow the following form:
3 Stanzas
4 lines per stanza
Rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF
For example:
Thanksgiving leaves crunch;
The west-wind blows in cool.
Families gather in a bunch
Children act a fool.
The bird goes in the oven hot,
Plucked clean and basted juicy.
The gravy steams out of the pot;
Let's eat the golden goosey!
Assembled 'round the table set
The dinner makes us happy.
After dinner we soon forget
And take a November nappy.
