This Little Light of Mine

 

            Light Verse: Comic, witty poems that feature grace and ease of expression, fancifulness and will to delight, and frequently—but not always—a satiric intent.

 

Your assignment is to tell a story using the conventions of light verse. Since you will be telling a story, you’ll need to have characters and some sort of plot, no matter how simple. To tell that story, your poem should be anywhere between 30-50 lines long. Don’t forget to use the conventions of sound strategies and wordplay that we’ve discussed. The main requirement, though, is that it be fun!

 

Your rough draft is due next class period (      ). It should be typed, and to aid the revision process, you should bring three (3) copies.
