Think of an object that you use a lot - your cell phone or your MP3 player or your computer. Now create a humorous verse about this item. It should contain at least six lines and it should reflect how you CANNOT live without this item. Be sure to give it a title; it does not need to rhyme (although this adds to the humor of such a poem).Â
The following poem was written by a high school student, Anne-Marie Wulfsberg. Â Read this poem and try to figure out its tone.
"Ode to a Toad"Toad on the grass
I was out one day for my usual jog
(I go kinda easy, rarely full-hog)
When I happened to see right there on the road
The squishy remains of a little green toad.
I thought to myself, where is his home?
Down yonder green valley, how far did he roam?
From out on the pond I heard sorrowful croaks,
Could that be the wailing of some of his folks?
I felt for the toad and his pitiful state,
But the day was now fading, and such was his fate.
In the grand scheme of things, now I confess,
What's one little froggie more or less?
The tone of this short poem is obviously humorous. Â Many authors develop their own tone and so many of their poems are written in a serious tone or a self-mocking tone or an impersonal tone.
