Description
This simple, attractive tree poem frame offers boundless scope for your young writers to capture the essence of a tree in chosen words within a tree picture. It could be any sort of tree, and any aspect of it, written in any style.
Here’s an example:
Green-crowned
king of the land,
standing tall and
fine and grand,
soon you will be copper-gold,
then, crownless, stand
all bare and cold.
That’s just one approach. The poem might be about blossom, leaves, a tree in the wind, a growing tree, a tree’s summer shade… It might be in rhyme or not, with similes or metaphors or not. The poem could be made up of tree sounds – creak, snap, rustle, hum, etc. An inspiring theme and activity.
