OK, can you write a poem?

Copy the poem into the comment box and add your words to match the pairs of letters.
(A) sounds like (A) like (blue) sounds like (shoe) or (try) sounds like (fly)



The Moon called (A),
in a beautiful (A),
that filled my heart with (B).

I sang a (C),
and no word was (C),
and I thanked the stars (B).

Your HeartESL Poem

The Moon called languidly,
in a beautiful baritone,
that filled my heart with amazement

I sang an answer,
and no word was misheard,
and I thanked the stars for the night's beauty


(How is that?)

Ok Elly, nice emotional content!

Now, try to match the A to A and B to B and C to C this time.

;-)

Match, do you mean rhyme?

Eliane a/k/a Ellymomable Wednesday, March 7, 2007 3:31:30 PM

Do you mean that the A's, et cetera, have to be the same word?

Jonchinajon Thursday, March 8, 2007 3:01:01 AM

Hi Elly. A = A means that those words rhyme. Fly - sky

Have a good time!

The Moon called me
to a beautiful tea
that filled my heart with joy!

I sang a note
and no word was spoke
I thanked the stars, all you hoi poloi!

Ha ha, That's fun!

Thanks Elly!

The Moon called Majestic Eye,
in a beautiful and dark night sky,
that filled my heart with pleasure.

I sang a strain,
and no word was disdain,
and I thanked the stars with great measure.

Hey! hi Sarah

Nice to have your poem here. I know my ESL friends will appreciate it. They are so shy!
