How do students plan a sensory poem?

They pick one memory tied to a place and write a phrase for what they saw, heard, smelled, tasted or touched, and still feel. They then reshape those phrases into 10 lines without using the row labels.

How long is the poem on these worksheets?

Both sheets ask for a 10-line poem. The personification sheet has one line of poetry on each of 10 lines, and the memory sheet numbers the lines from 1 to 10.

These 7th grade poem writing worksheets give students a planning chart before they write. One sheet builds a personification poem about a streetlight, bridge, subway grate or crosswalk, and the other gathers sensory details from a single remembered place. Students then write a 10-line poem. Both sheets have an answer key.
