Growing Poem

 W.A.L.T: Create a growing poem.

In Tui Whanau we have been learning about different types of poems. Today we have been learning about growing poems. A growing poem starts with whatever topic you are writing about (it must only be one word). Then the second line will have two adjectives(describing words) about the topic. The third line will have three verbs(doing words), the fourth will have a phrase with four words and the fifth will be another phrase with 5 words. From the fifth you can do a mixture of phrases or words about the topic and each line growing by one word. We had to choose a complex topic/idea for our poem so I chose conflict. Here is my growing poem.

Conflict

Negative, Strifeful.

Arguing, Competing, Battling. 

A rivalry between enemies.

Avoiding problems leads to chaos.

Conflict is inevitable, combat is 

optional.

I found it most challenging to find some interesting phrases about conflict.

Have you ever written a growing poem?
