 * //Catcher in The Rye //****Poetry Project **

There will be 4 REQUIRED poems --

1. **Limerick Poetry**

A limerick has a particular form and rhyme. It is usually humorous and contains 5 lines. The last words of the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other (A), and the last words of the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other (B). Ideas for this poem can come from any place in the book.

Here is an example:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Everyone you meet, you think is a phony (A)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Not one of them would you call a crony (A)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">You meet life with fear (B)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Only Phoebe and Allie stay dear (B)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">When will you learn that your philosophy is baloney? (A)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">2. **Ode To Allie**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">An ode is a poem of praise to a person, place, or thing. An ode does not have to rhyme. Your poem will honor Allie. Some questions to help you write your poem:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">What was Allie like?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Why is he so important to Holden?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Why does Holden feel this way?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">What might Allie represent or symbolize?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Here is an example:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Who were you?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Smiling, red hair bobbing

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Racing so fast,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">fast, faster

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Leaving life behind

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">while I stumble,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">fall

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I needed you guy.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">You were the best.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">3. **Poem from a Different Point of View**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Pretend that you are one of the other characters in the book: Phoebe, D.B., Jane,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Sally, Stradlater, Mr. Spencer, Mrs. Morrow, Sunny, Maurice, the nuns, Carl

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Luce, etc., and write a poem about Holden, describing your feelings and thoughts about him.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Here is an example:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Mr. Spencer

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Why do you struggle so

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">in a world where you could do anything, go anywhere?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">You fight ghosts

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">facing the wrong direction

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">With all the light,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">you only see darkness.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Oh Holden – youth is elusive,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Enjoy your time

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Age creeps up and then like me,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">you come full circle.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Don’t be empty

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Look inside.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Be someone – something – anything.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">4. **Found Poem**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Found poems are created by selecting words, phrases, or quotes from the novel.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Then you will rearrange them in poetic form. Your aim is to create a poem that captures the mood or essence of the novel. You may want to provide new insight for the reader. End your poem by using arranged by and your name since the words are not your own.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">Here is any example

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I won’t Dance – don’t ask me

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I didn’t feel like it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">You want to know the truth?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I NEVER DANCE!

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">It wasn’t anything physical

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I can’t understand

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">How the hell should I know why?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">It was very phony

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px;">I’m too big to dance.
