Focus on WritingStyle : Poetry, pg. 113

• A poem is a piece of writing which expresses thoughts or feelings. Poems usually include the use of irony and symbolism. Poems usually consist of verses and may or may not rhyme.

• A poem consists of many stanzas. A stanza is a set of lines in a poem, set apart from other sets of lines by space. Each stanza comprises its own unit. The break/space between stanzas generally indicates a pause between thoughts, concepts or actions.

My chicken's on the Internet.She surfs the web all day.I've tried to stop her browsingbut, so far, there's just no way. She jumps up on the mouseand then she flaps around like madto click on every hyperlinkand every pop-up ad.

She plays all sorts of chicken games.She messages her folks.She watches chicken videosand forwards chicken jokes.

I wouldn't mind so muchexcept my keyboard's now a wreck.She hasn't learned to type yet;she can only hunt and peck.
