    To prepare for Shakespearean sonnets, we will practice using couplets, which are 2 lines of verse that rhyme. Read this 6-line poem comprised of 3 couplets:

 

Three Things to Remember

by William Blake

 

A Robin Redbreast in a cage,

Puts all Heaven in a rage.

 

A skylark wounded on the wing

Doth make a cherub cease to sing.

 

He who shall hurt the little wren

Shall never be beloved by men. 

 

 

Note how Blake is advising us to cherish small creatures or risk dire consequences.

 

     Your assignment is to write a 4-line poem comprised of 2 couplets. It can be about any 1 subject, but the title is Two Things To Remember. The objective is to emulate Blake and give sage advice about your chosen topic. Your poem does not have to have a religious theme. We will read our poems in class on Friday, April 24.
