Best Hexameter Poem Writing Exercise for Grade 6 Literature - Kite
Crafting concise hexameter poems for Grade 6 literature - Kite
Embarking on a journey of thought:
Among the words presented: 'vivid hues', 'first occurrence', 'at any moment', 'green sprouts', 'melodic verses', 'ourselves.' Which do I choose to fill the voids? Let me elucidate my choices.
As dawn breaks, the sky extends infinitely
The sky, as fresh as if newly painted... understands the color green
The melody of birds stirring the branches
Birdsong arousing... rising together.
(Dinh Hai)
Response:
The sky stretches wide at dawn
The sky, as blue as if seeing green for the first time
The sound of birds stirring the leaves
Birdsong awakening the green shoots together.
I choose the words 'first time' and 'green shoots' because the poem portrays a vibrant springtime scene bursting with life.

Returning home to visit mother on a winter afternoon
B B B T B B
The kitchen still isn't smoking, mom's not home.
Lost in childhood reverie, I wander in and out.
The sky so calm suddenly bursts into rain.
