An adjective is a describing word. – The jam is very sweet. A noun is a naming word. – The cat was very ferocious. A simile compares a noun to something else and usually has the words like or as in the sentence. – The sun is like a gold coin. A feeling is saying what effect the noun has on you. – The ripples on the pond calm me. A fact is something that is true about the noun. Personification is giving the noun a human emotion or action. – The waves breathed gently onto the shore. The final line should be strong and powerful and should leave the reader with something they will remember. Next Back

A final line has to have a real punch to it. Very much like the end to a story – it can’t peter out. It should be memorable and capture what the poem is about. You will really have to think about this and you may have many goes until you get it right.
