Try the Chain!

When creating a chain poem you start with one word (like OCEAN) and then you add to it by writing down another word that you have thought of as a result of listing that word. For this first poem, my list was: OCEAN, BEACH, STARS, MOON, ROMANCE, ROOFTOP. Create your word list first, then fill in the gaps by making everything connect! It may be serious, funny, and/or entertaining! TRY IT!

An Ocean's Dream
When I think of the OCEAN, I see myself walking...
Along the BEACH with the one I love.
It gets dark, so we sit down and look up.
We see the STARS and the glistening MOON.
It is a very ROMANTIC moment.
I embrace every aspect of this vision.
I am sad. My surroundings come back to me
and I realize I am home on the stationary ROOFTOP.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
LIFE is beautiful --
A time to be HAPPY
and JOYFUL.
A time to be with FAMILY
and FRIENDS,
Who are SWEET, gentle, and KIND.
Demonstrating charitable ACTIONS
EVERYDAY full of love.
I am deeply GRATEFUL.

A Bird's Song
BIRDS sitting high up in the trees
begin to CHIRP
and sing a simple song SWEETLY.
It reminds me of my favorite CANDY.
I want to go to the STORE and buy some,
but I have no MONEY.
I need to work because
LIFE is expensive.
Yet, it is always WORTH living.
