Change poem

1. Write a poem describing a single change or multiple changes using one- word lines and stanzas.
2. The changes you show should be unpredictable and surprising. However, for this poem, your changes should show leaps through time.
3. Events work well for this assignment.


Examples:

Autumn

Dead
Leaves
Flutter
Like
Butterflies

To
The
Ground

Metamorphosis

First,
a
cell
exploding.

Next,
a
slithery
blob,
darting
nervously.

Now,
a
bungling
tadpole
trudging
through
murky
sands.

Finally,
a
dignified
frog,
springing
onto
lilypads;
croaking
arrogantly,
its
nose
in
the
air.
