Ed’s Poetry
The word quatrain comes from Latin and French words meaning four. The quatrain
is a poem or stanza of four lines. It is a very popular form of poetry and was used
by many famous poets such as William Blake.
This quatrain comes from The Tyger by William Blake.
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
The pattern of the rhymes in this quatrain is the first and second line then the
third and fourth line. Choose an animal and brainstorm some ideas. Add
descriptive words and phrases then write two joining couplets to create a
quatrain that paints a word picture of your animal.
When you have finished your poem you could read it to a friend or learn and
recite it.
Ed would enjoy reading your poem. You could email your poem to him.
