1. CREATIVE WRITING Lesson 26 – April 14, 2015

2. 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.  What is the tone of the poem? How does it make you feel?  What kinds of situations have you experienced where you felt like this?
