CREATIVE WRITING Lesson 26 – April 14, 2015
WARM UP WRITING Mending A giant hand inside my chest Stretches out and takes My heart within its mighty grasp And squeezes till it breaks. A gentle hand inside my chest, With mending tape and glue, Patches up my heart until It's almost good as new. I ought to know by now that Broken hearts will heal again. But while I wait for glue and tape, The pain! The pain! The pain! By Judith Viorst Copy the poem into your notebook. Below it, write about what figurative language is found in the poem.
